Write A Craft Book – Simple Steps To Success
So you want to write a craft book? Well why not. If you feel inspired to share your craft knowledge with others it can be very satisfying personally and also extremely rewarding financially. The challenge some people have though is with the whole “writing” thing.
Writing is tough, right? Otherwise everyone would do it.
Well it doesn’t have to be. The big trick is not to worry about “writing”. Don’t concern yourself about whether you know your pronoun from your adverb. If you want to write a craft book the only thing you need to be thinking about is how to explain what you do.
Picture it like you were showing a friend. Then just write it down. Have a look at it, read it back to yourself. Does it make sense? If not, just have another go. You’ll be using a pc and a word processor so you don’t need to worry running out of paper or ink!
Your writing will improve just by the act of writing. You didn’t start out as an expert crafts person – you had to learn and develop your skills. Same with writing. When you start off it probably isn’t the easiest thing in the world but you don’t need to be an English graduate to write a good craft book, you just need to explain yourself. In fact simple language is better here, not Pulitzer prize stuff!
If it helps, you can even leave the “writing” out altogether. Talk it – record it onto tape or your pc then type out the words you spoke – or even get someone else to transcribe it for you.
Of course you shouldn’t forget that a picture is worth a thousand words. Photography will brighten up your book and make things easier to understand. Use plenty of photography and you’ll probably find you don’t need to use half as many words as you feared!
Not a photographer? No need to worry there either. Modern digital cameras are cheap, clever and have no film or processing costs. If you need to take a hundred shots to get one good one, take them.
If you have any doubts about your ability to write a craft book, pick one up that was written by someone else. Is the language complicated? Could you write to that standard? Of course you can! In fact you’ll find that not only can you write it, with the tools available today you can publish it yourself too!

Adventures in Bookbinding: Handcrafting Mixed-Media Books $24.99 Each project in this book combines bookbinding with a specific craft such as quilting, jewelry making, or polymer clay, and offer levels of expertise: basic, novice, and expert.  Illustrated step-by-step instructions and photographs demonstrate how to construct the cover pages, and a unique binding technique, easy enough for a beginner to master.Each project also features two other versions with the same binding geared to those with more or less experience.  The novice version is for those who have no knowledge of the craft and want shortcuts, but love the look.  For the quilter’s book, for example, vintage quilt pieces become the covers so all that’s needing in the binding.  Or if you’re interested in wool felting use an old sweater.  This offers great opportunities for upcycling.The expert version is for those who have a great deal of knowledge and proficiency of a certain craft – the master art quilter, for example.  For this version, an expert guest artist has created the cover and the author has created the binding.  This offers yet another creative opportunity – the collaborative project.  Since crafters often get involved with round-robins and other shared endeavors, this will show them yet another way to combine their skills.No other craft book offers the possibilities and challenges that Adventures in Bookbinding does.  Readers will return to it again and again to find inspiration and ideas.Jeannine Stein has been making books for more than fifteen years, exploring bindings, mediums, and techniques. In addition to teaching book-binding, she is an award-winning journalist, and she has written extensively about paper crafts-artists’ books, scrapbooking, rubber stamping, and letterpress. She is the author of Re-Bound: Creating Handmade Books with Recycled and Repurposed Materials, (Quarry Books, 2009).  |
