Rowanvale's Five Commandements

1. Always believe in the journey of writing

It might be difficult and sometimes wrought with self-doubt,
but you have to understand that part of the final product is the journey itself. 

2. Get into a writing routine

Whether writing is something you do on the side or it's your full-time  job, make sure you establish a small routine that best helps you.  Whatever that looks like —sitting down at 5am and trying to churn out  2,000 or writing after your day job ends and only getting down 250 words  — remember, everyone works differently. Don’t beat yourself up because  you didn’t write as many words as you would have liked. Everyone works  at a different pace. 

3. Be wary of publishers who over promise and under deliver

Sadly, there are self-publishers out there who charge extortionate rates  often to only let their authors down. Do your research before picking a  company to work with. The likelihood is you’ll be working very closely  together, so it is worth researching an ethical and fair publisher who  cares about the story more than its profits. 

4. Invest in a good publishing company (us!)

 Having a good publisher makes all the difference. Finding one that also  offers different pre- and post-publication packages can really help  boost your sales. Whether it’s illustrations or marketing that you need  help with, it pays to find a publishing company that can liaise between  different departments for you. Luckily at RV, we’re a tight-knit family  that can do this on your behalf, so we're able to help with all aspects  of the publication process. 

5. Market, market, market

Publishing your book is only half the battle; the rest remains in the  hands of marketing. Since you know it best, you are your book's biggest  sales tool. Look for a publishing company that can assist your marketing  efforts, rather than leaving you to do this completely on your own.
