Lucy Said:

When writing a book, and naming a business (not an actual one), do you need to underline or anything?

We Answered:

It is simply a proper noun, not a title. Just capitalize it.

George Said:

Are you allowed to use a Business name is a book that you are writing?

We Answered:

Yes probably I mean as long as you only state true things about Walmart, you can't say false information like in 1996 there was a huge out brake of salmonella, you couldn't say that because it didn't happen but if you said something like, I went to Walmart to buy a bag of chips, that's fine because they sell chips!

Alma Said:

how would one start a home business for writing books?

We Answered:

You basically want to become a book publishing agent, where authors would come to you and you help them get published. Your role as an agent would be to make the process of finding a publisher for writers easier, faster, and hopefully, more lucrative.

You help writers craft better book proposals, you pitch the proposals to publishers and you help negotiate the deal between the writer and publisher.

Literary agents have different ways to earn. Typically, they earn by commission basis (often 15 percent) on the books they sell and everything relating to that book, such as excerpted magazine articles, audio tapes and films (but not speeches and personal appearances). Agents usually receive 20 percent for overseas sales. Some agents charge reading fees just for looking at book proposal, and many charge for the costs incurred in making the deal happen (e.g. photocopying costs, telephone costs, etc) over and above the 15% commission.

Other types of agents charge by the hour the work they do on author's proposal - from reading the book proposal to marketing the proposal. So even if they failed to get a publisher interested in the book and publish the book, they get paid for the hourly work done for the prospective author.
