One
of the most common questions I receive about my book, “The Insider’s
Edge to Real Estate Investing,” is, “How long did it take?” If you’re
interested in publishing a book on commercial real estate, you may
already be aware that producing a book takes a substantial commitment.
There are many steps to cover, ranging from choosing a topic to finding a way to publish it and marketing the book. The actual writing can be lengthy too.
To
get an idea of how long the process will take, it can be helpful to
look at an estimated timeline. As you read through the following,
remember that the exact number of hours you’ll need will vary. It may
depend on your writing experience, who you’re working with, and what
dates your publisher would like to use. If you go with a traditional
publisher, the timeline could be much longer than if you self-publish.
In
the following sections, I’ll share the timeline for my book, which may
help you get a sense of what to expect for your own work.
1. The Idea Phase
Before
you begin writing, you’ll want to understand your book’s purpose. Think
about what topics it will cover, the themes it will portray, and how it
will help readers. This stage could take as little as an afternoon, or
it could last much longer. In my case, for years I had others asking for
book recommendations and resources to help them learn about investing
in commercial real estate. I couldn’t find any that fit what I had in
mind, so I decided to put together my own.
2. Planning and Outlining
Writing
down some of your thoughts and brainstorming what your book will cover
might take several hours, or it could require days or even weeks. I
found that during the pandemic, my routine changed, and I had some extra
hours to commit toward a different project. I started a podcast, and
that led to the beginnings of a book. I gathered initial material and a
rough outline of what the chapters would discuss.
3. Pitching the Book
Putting together a book proposal
and query letter, and then sending them to agents and publishers, might
take months. It could take several weeks to get responses too. For my
book, I connected with an agency in the summer of 2021, which put me in
touch with a writing partner and editor to help with the book proposal
and query letter. During the fall of that year, we connected with a
publisher and several months later formed a publishing agreement.
If
you self-publish, you may skip this step, as you’ll be in control of
the publishing agreement. That said, you might want to pitch the book to
others in your circles and build an audience. Those who are interested
might want to buy it later when it comes out.
4. Drafting the Manuscript
If
you’re familiar with a topic and have time to write every day, you
could create a manuscript in less than a year. In some instances, the
research required could prolong this step, and it’s not uncommon for
books to take more than a year to develop. For my book, the initial
draft was created in six months. My writing partner Rachel Hartman
interviewed me on my podcast to gather material, which allowed
listeners to gain insight and learn about the book before it was
published.
5. The Editing Phase
A
manuscript typically undergoes several rounds of edits, and this stage
can take a couple of months or longer, depending on the number of
revisions needed. You may hear of a developmental edit, which focuses on
the overall organization and structure of the book. There are also line
editing tasks to improve flow and clarity. Copyediting and proofreading
help remove spelling mistakes and punctuation errors. For my book, the
editing rounds took nearly five months. For self-publishing, you’ll want
to hire an editor, which can take a couple of months.
6. Publication Date and Beyond
Often
when you work with a publisher, a day will be set for the book to be
published. The process of writing and editing are managed to align with
the publication date. Due to the time needed for the printing to take
place, and for books to be distributed, publishers often work with dates
that are far ahead. You might sign a contract for your book, and then
see your first copy a year or more later. In my case, the book was
released about three months after the editing rounds finished. Again in
self-publishing, this step could be faster, and you might have copies
within just a few week.
7. Marketing the Book
While
you may start this step at any point in the process, you’ll likely
continue it after the book is published. You can take your book to
conferences where you speak, or hand it to clients at networking events.
It could become part of your overall brand, especially if it covers a
topic that is helpful to those who connect with you.
As
you can see, the timeline of a book can be anywhere from less than a
year to two years or longer. From the initial proposal to the actual
publication date of my book, the process took about 18 months. You may
find you need more time, based on the research you want to carry out or
other commitments you have. In most cases, the key is to keep moving
forward, as each step will bring you closer to getting your book onto
the shelves of retailers and into the hands of readers.
