How to publish a book on energy
Every year at the end of that year, I make a compilation of my weekly energy articles in the form of a PDF book format. Then I publish in PDF on the internet. If you want to read, download the information, you may print on paper, make your own book, or simply read as a paper book. Since it is in PDF format, the younger generation prefers to read from iphone or ipad. My articles are published in editor control. The editor's contribution on the text is too important. The editor is correcting the logic of the expression, typos, errors. He makes it more readable.
The same book also has its English edition. I publish the articles in Turkish as well as in English. My English editor with his native English speaking capacity, my book is under his the supervision, so the texts are properly-controlled. I'm making them a PDF book at the end of the year. They are also running on the internet. You can see the number of readers and their country of origin in Internet publishing. My Turkish and English PDF books have a large number of readers. If I can publish them as a paper book, I cannot reach so many readers all over the world. Not only have readers from Europe, USA, but also from Far East, India, China, South America.
I have sent pdf - word version of my book to a large number of publishers for the paper printing book. Most of the similar negative answers are received.
"We're not working on this subject. We are not the proper publisher for your book", technical publishers evaluate the book "too popular", whereas popular publishers find my book too "technical".
It is possible to publish your book by spending your own money. For 1000-each paper book, depending on the quality and size of 3000-4000 Turkish Lira (500-600 $), you can have the as-is printing. If you want to edit your book, you should pay 1500-2000 lira more (250-300$), if you want distribution and advertising, you should pay 1000-1500 lira (200-300$). You also need to do your own advertising, arrange interview for the sale of your book, you should appear in the news, go on a TV program. It is very difficult for an author to pay the cost to do all this.
Articles on our energy theme are actually something like writing articles on water. The current mottos are lost in time. Everything changes in time. While explaining how the thermal power plants work in harmony with the environmental equipment, the implementation of the day-to-day thermal power plants is stopped, financing is no more possible, the investors are turning to other energy sources.
The use of natural gas has decreased and natural gas fired power plants are closed since their electricity production unit kwh prices have increased very much. While domestic coal wet lignite production has reached to record 100 million tons in 2018, total electricity production remained the same, 295 million kWh. In other words, electricity production has not increased because there is no new investment.
Wind solar hydro-storage hybrid power plants now are more popular. CFB thermal applications are failing for out domestic wet lignite coal, due to expensive additional-preheating-dewatering equipment needs. Full-time continuous running becomes harder, maintenance repair refurbishment comes dearly. The first feasibility is failing..
You feel that nuclear is a must. However the final produced electric kwh unit price is getting very expensive. Feasibility studies do not see the investment possible. Investors leave nuclear projects one by one. Investment is no longer economic. The countries is turning into an prestige effort to become a nuclear power. Countries' investment feasibility, sound economy and credibility are gaining importance.
One of the publishers I met at a book fair gave me the following advice.
"Your articles may be good, but this topic doesn't sell in our market as a paper book. Tell one or two erotic stories, don't fall into pornography level, choose the words well, write it like our famous Turkish writers Orhan Pamuk, Ahmet Altan, Ahmet Umit. This template sells a lot.".
Socialism articulates eroticism, but marketization is made by capitalism.
Cinema TV Internet Print Publishing Art Literature Music Opera are always full of these examples. Our energy sector works in proper decent life. I have never seen a news story on this issue in visual or written media.
I've heard a lot of love stories while working in the factory or office. Our youth was filled with romantic love stories. People would meet, fall in love, get married, make children, spend our life dealing with their health and school subjects. W would buy a house and a car, we go on holiday together in the summer. The incomes were only sufficient for expenses.
I finished school, get married, raised children in difficult times, now I look at grandchildren, I take her to the children's playground, walk her down the road, watch cartoon movies on TV together, play lego, read fairy tale books. I pray God that I have more grandchildren.
