Writing a book could do with a word book template

[milanbenes]

Evening Laaaaaaaaaads,

writing a .net book for administrators of the newer shiny stuff

been compiling a tipsheet/cookbook excel sheet for years on a whole range of .net shiny components
and databases and unix and windows etc

and now it's time to extrapolate all that info and put it into a book and monetise it

currently writing the first draft of the book and was wondering if anyone knows of useful
word templates for fillings in the gaps for writing a book ?

later questions will be how to publish it :-) currently in talks with a .net publisher, but there are other options, interested to hear if anyone else has done this ?

In O'Reilly's guide for authors there's a link to a Word template in the "Tools" section at So You Want to Write a Book? Chapter 2

Other publishers would have other requirements. If you don't have a publishing deal set up, the O'Reilly one is presumably as good a one as any to be going on with.

gud luck mate

[milanbenes]

thanks dad

it should be quite easy....

I've got this excel catalogued full of tips and tricks and cookbook info for the portfolio of shiny .net components and db's and o/s that I've built up for a number of years

and it's been on my mind for a while now to extract the info from the excel sheet into a pocket book for .net administrators

the info is gold

so, it's not like I can get writer's block or something it's just copy and paste and organise and collate

so fingers crossed, the task is to finish the task and then find a way to publish it

Milan.
