Thus, first choose your idea of development. Then, sit and complete your work to form a complete e-book.
Make a note that, a typical non-fiction book has 50,000 to 60,000 words whereas a typical novel has around 80,000 to 100,000 words. Make sure that your e-book also contains minimum of considerable number of words.
Edit your book and fine tune it with the help of experienced writers. There are two types of edition to be done in your work. First one is a substantive edition where the editor checks the big idea, flows, holes, etc., The second one is a line or copy edit where the editor checks for the grammar and usage problems.
