Book writing tips for novices.

There's nothing that says a book must be 100's of pages long

Like a song writer, usually the best songs come at spontaneous moments, quick and fast, and that's all you need for a hit.

This idea that a book must be 100's of pages long and take years or decades to write is totally outdated now.

Now days, books, pamphlets that sell, can be as short as 20 pages or less.

Now days people like books that get to the point, and often it doesn't take a 200 page novel or advice guide or informational guide or convey message.

Think outside the box, for that matter think outside the room.

I think I'm going different route

I've been visiting a few e-book publishing sites, ect, tonight on web.

For first time book writers this can be a bit intimidating, especially if one doesn't understand the whole technical formatting language.

And many of these sites charge fees, like as much as $600.00 to start, and goes up from there with added services.

In this link here...link

In above red lighted link, site warns of places that take up front money, means that's how they make their money and not from your actual sales, which means they're not motivated for you to sell anything if they're already getting your money up front.

I'm just weary of online stuff now, trusting people you can't see, and can only interact with online.

I like to see whom I'm dealing with, know where there office is and all, make sure their office isn't ins Iceland or something.

I may go different route, create book myself, or more like pamphlet book, or guide book concerning certain relevant issue, then distribute a few myself for free, just create buzz about it, create website specifically for that book so that if people 'want to know more' ect.

Send to radio stations, media centers, create buzz organically, and then worry about selling for profit down the road.

There's a zillion E-books out there already, not sure if these companies care if anyone reads yours, once they've taken your upfront money.

I may go different route, and target specific community, create buzz within that specific community and see what happens from there.

Would rather do that than spend $1,500.00 bucks on services, and no results.

Anyways, can't figure it all out tonight, about time for bed.

If want to publish a book

Basically, like everything else these days, if you want to do something, you basically have to do it yourself.

If want to publish a book, than I suggest buying book publishing or writing software, and formatting your book accordingly, and then uploading to Amazon, ect...

Cause if you wait around for uncaring 'Fks' to respond to your idea, you'll die first of old age.

Do it yourself, and let the drooling fk's come to you after you're successful.

And be weary of those who claim to be 'Wealthy', who then turn around and write 'How to become wealthy like me' books.

Be weary of such skunks!!

That's because their 'wealth' would mean nothing face to face, trifling a.z mo foe's they are.

Their only safety is 'distance', distance allows them to create this illusion that some how their 'elite' and better than others.

Come to my 'block', said on poet long ago.



Didn't come from this 'block', but concepts the same.

Also be weary of book publishing companies that act to aggressive...beware of anyone or institution that acts to aggressive as far as that goes, but specifically speaking of book publishing companies that want you to submit a book, they examine, and if like go forward, but then charge a 'pre fee'.

I mean maybe that's legit way to do it, but in past, if you had a good book, you're the one they paid, in form of advance, not the other way around.

I mean I guess it's all about balance, in that if you're paying them to do all the tedious work, maybe they should get paid.

Just depends on your own book expertese I guess.

I may 'test' such a process soon and will keep you updated on the outcome.

And what's to high of a fee 400?, 600? 1000?

And what if you don't sell a single book?

I mean unless book is promoted, suggested, than would it even sell?

Books aren't cheap to make, the paper the ink, I mean ever go to Office Max and see how much they charge for copies?...think how much more a book would be.

I don't know, I may get playful later on and call this publishing company back just to investigate...
