From Manuscript to Masterpiece: The Path to Young Author Success and Publication

Becoming an author takes perseverance and creative self-expression, offering fulfillment and many benefits along the way. Teenage author Colton Fidelman is available to speak about his journey and how to get published as a young writer.

Publishing a book may seem like an impossible task for young writers, but regardless of age, young authors can successfully publish their own books. Colton Fidelman is the teen author of the new book The Teenage Guide to Becoming Successful – The TICK TOCK Formula for Life, Relationships, and Careers. Cole has had an outpouring of support far and wide at a recent book signing at his school, where it was announced that his book will be incorporated into next year’s curriculum, so every student will now get to learn from his story and advice. The demand for his book exceeded expectations, and he even received a certificate recognizing his positive impact through writing this motivational book for teens.

Cole knows the ins and outs of becoming a young author and the steps to take to reach the goal of publishing a book. He can discuss more on the following:

• How to plan your book, picking an idea backed with passion and inspiration.
• Choosing the genre and topic of your book.
• Writing an outline to sort out thoughts and ideas, and identifying the main points of each chapter.
• Bad writing habits and things to avoid when writing your book.
• Finding a comfortable writing style that will convey what you are trying to express.
• The importance of the editing process and feedback (comments, advice)
• Looking for an agent vs sending straight to a publisher (expenses and time).
• Benefits of holding author and book events in your neighborhood.
