User:Whiteknight/New Book Guide

Preface
The material found here was developed from my own experience at Wikibooks, and is not an officially approved guide. The thoughts represented here are my own and have often received little, if any, community approval, feedback, or input. I have personally created a number of new books from scratch here at Wikibooks, and I have learned a number of lessons from my work that I hope to be able to share with other new authors.

This book is a part of my personal namespace, and as such it is not subject to ordinary community policies such as neutrality of opinion. Also, while I do encourage people to help make this book better by adding more material and experiences, I maintain complete creative control over this book and am the final authority as to what will stay here. I will monitor it closely for unauthorized edits or vandalism. Comments, suggestions, and criticisms are welcome on my talk page.
