Book On Sports? Excellent.
[found on ehow.com; by Vyvyan Lynn]
“Writing a sports book requires planning. For instance, in order to write a book about University of Georgia football, you have to decide if you will write about a certain time period in the history of the university’s football program or if your book will encompass the entire history of the program.
You could write specifically about the coaches, outstanding players or one outstanding player, such as Herschel Walker. Writing a project plan saves time in the long run and also meshes the creative process together with the business process.
The business process keeps you thinking about writing to your reader or target audience so that your finished product is marketable.”
