6 Reasons Why You Should Write and Print Your Own Book Right Now

If you are capable of writing words you are capable of creating a book. In the modern world, with education rates the highest they have ever been, this means a large population of the world can write their stories. Yet, most people don’t. Some feel they don’t have the time or the talent. Others feel they don’t have anything new to say.

However, if you have ever thought of writing a book, you should do it. Today. Here are 6 reasons why you should write and print your own book it today.

1. Every Story Should be Heard

You never know whose lives will be touched by reading the words you created. Those words that flow from your brain to your fingers have the power to change lives.

If you are worried about the technical aspects of writing your book, there are ghostwriting services available to help you take your story idea and flesh it out into a masterpiece you will be proud to share with others.

2. You Are Unique

No one sees the world as you do, and so no one can write the same book you want to write. If you don’t write it, your book will never get written. There may be similar books thrust into the world, but there will never be YOUR book.

3. Learn a New Skill

Writing a book takes practice. The more you write, the better you will get. Having advanced writing skills can open doors to opportunities in work and life.

4.  Boost Your Confidence

Writing a book will make you feel better about yourself. You started with nothing but an idea, and suddenly there, before your eyes, is a beautiful book that you can display with pride. There are few joys greater than holding your newly printed book in your hands.

5. Explore your passion

You may find that you love writing even more than you expected. Many people find that once they write one book, they never want to stop.

6. Share Your Message

You see the world in a special way, and there are things you are passionate about. You may want to advocate conscientious living or share the struggles of rising from poverty. Perhaps you want to encourage people to become foster parents or to adopt cats and dogs from shelters. Whatever message you have, your book is a great way to share that message with the world.

Sewn perfect bound book binding.

InstantPublisher prides itself in offering the most customizable self publishing and book printing service around. I am going to start randomly posting about some of the different book printing options we offer, as many of our customers do not know that we offer so many different configurations in our book printing line and that  many do not know what the terms even mean.  This week I am going to talk about sewn perfect binding.

Sewn perfect binding looks similar to a regular perfect bound (paperback)  book but the book block is actually sewn together before gluing the cover to the book block.   The reason we offer this binding style is that perfect binding by itself is not suitable for long term usage because the glue hardens by alternating cold and hot weather and will eventually break and the pages will fall out. When some people read a book they will tend to try to make the book lay flat by folding the book back onto the spine.  This also tends to break the glue where the book is folded and will cause the pages to fall out.

Sewn Perfect binding is recommended for books that need to last for a very long time or books with a coated stock like our gloss coated papers.  Gloss coated papers do not let the glue penetrate as well as regular text stock so, with gloss coated books with more than 80 pages, we recommend that you take the sewn option.  Sewn books are first glued together, sewn with thread, then they are perfect bound to hide the threads.  The threads can still be seen when the book is opened wide but they are barely noticeable.  The outside of the book will have a slight bulge as well where the thread is but it is not very noticeable.   This is the same binding style that we use in our hardcover book binding to be sure the books last a very long time. See more on this binding style here.
