Why Project Researches Are Your Stock-in-Trade

You should never ever dispose of your research material.

Why shouldn't you do that?

Quite simply because you never know when it might come in handy; the questions to which you found answers for your first project will return again and again in different guises when you set about researching on new book concepts.

Never dispose of any research material; store it away securely for future reference.

You may have to do some updating but even so, the task won't be nearly so difficult with a benchmark to start from.

Easier said then done though when your research material is all over the place in your computer...

This came home to me like a sore thumb when I set about researching on a new book project just recently.

I knew I had all the material I needed somewhere but as I had switched computers several times in the interim, much of it was still lurking in storage sticks.

Wouldn't it be great I thought if there was a piece of software that eradicates vexatious researching?

What I'm looking for is software that is simple to operate, stores everything in one place, and provides me with calls to action.

In essence I would like this elusive software to:

• Display vital data on formatting options
• Store statistics on previous surveys I have undertaken
• Remind me to check whether my topic is as hot as I think it is
• Prompt me how to double-check on bestselling potential in my work
• Do likewise on the longevity factor
• Lay out the essentials for preparing an acceptable proposal for fiction;
• Do likewise for non-fiction topics
• Trigger my attention to fine toothcomb checks on publishing contracts
• Give me a rundown on the advantages and disadvantages of hiring a literary agent
• Caution me on the pitfalls of self publishing without due diligence
• Provide me with a failsafe strategy for online book selling
