Free E-book: Writing for the Future

Writing for the future is an exciting experience (and perhaps a fabulous job), especially for the futurists. In fact, the futurists explain their thoughts and ideas trough writing articles, books and blog posts.

Generally speaking, writing is an effective tool of self-expression and many writers use this tool successfully to express themselves in their related societies. As a futurist, you may be interested in expressing yourself and your experiences among other futurist colleagues or futurist societies. There are some simple secrets that may help you improve your writing, especially when you are going to write professionally about the future.

Specialization in writing, just as in medicine or law, helps focus writers and allows them to build an identifiable “brand.” Writers who have developed professional specialties have treasuries of effective practices which can offer tips for writers seeking a niche. But we are living in an era engaged with such questions: “What will the media of the future be, and what kinds of writing will they demand? How can we explore the effects our bit-sized culture is having on our work, as well as the new narrative that is being formed at unabridged speeds around us?”

To answer these questions, we should remember that advances in science and technology have changed the societies almost overnight. Writers and reporters have to document that change, as they have done in the past. But to do their job, writers will need to understand and to a certain extent foresee—or predict—the future.

In my point of view, futurist writers equipped with creative arts are today striving to shape next generation of writers. I applaud them, and perhaps join them. It is time to be a modern creative writer, and as the scientific fiction writers have shown us, we should not underestimate the effect of the arts in writing futurist articles or books. At the same time, increasingly I have come to see the limitations of writing as a unique art. I have found that the art of writing should be accompanied with other arts, especially the creative ones. In modern times, we impose limits on the artists, and as we do so we draw walls around our subcultures. The creativity is portrayed in art and art can be found not just in cultures, but also in subcultures that are usually underestimated.

In my new e-book available at: FuturesDiscovery.com for free, I’ve summarized some of useful tips of effective writing for the future. The book is designed in 19 short chapters, each chapter dedicated to a topic.

Life is a journey toward the future. If you agree with the idea that “writing about the future” is an art, you’re warmly welcome to the second chapter of my e-book. In the third chapter, I’ve given a summarization of what the futurists believe. Fourth chapter is a collection of questions answered by W. Warren Wagar, a well-known futurist and writer. In the fifth section, a code of practice is provided for futurist writers.

Common mistakes in exploring the future are detailed in the sixth chapter. Seventh part of the book is dedicated to the importance of having a plan before doing any kind of writing. The eighth chapter is on finding bright ideas around the future. Then I’ve offered ten points on “How to Write an E-book?”. If you are interested in web-based writing, the tenth chapter is eagerly waiting for you to be read. And if you like to know how you can improve your writing through using useful softwares, chapter eleven is suitable for you.

The reality of self-publishing is another topic that is of futurist writers’ interest nowadays. Besides, you may like to know how to get your books published, or become a published author. You can find necessary information in this regard through chapters 12 to 14. Three next chapters are chapters of numbers, including: 5 Steps toward Fast Writing, 3 Essentials to Plain English, and 10 Ways to Remove Your Writing Anxieties. I’ve ended the book with the future of books and inspiring quotes.
