I'm planning to write a book on Physics and electronics. Anybody who wish to share his experience/knowledge e.g. which software to use for writing etc. Also some tips to make it bestseller and profitable... :wink:

Your English isn't good enough to write a bestseller, but if you are going to write it anyway I suggest using any word program you are familiar with. I wouldn't worry about getting a special program specific to publishing. Any publisher would want to do all the formatting and would just want your words. I use Word, it does everything I've ever needed. The best tip is read a lot and write a lot. That's the only way to get better. The only way you will publish a physics book is if you 1)Have your doctorate and 2)Are a professor at a good school If you aren't both of those no publisher would even consider a book. Unless you already have several published books under your belt.

You are right. So, I'm planning to write some articles for magzines/online websites. Can anybody give me some useful web addresses for that.
 
I have just started writing a book on engineering physics...I have to read a lot for that.
