So - You Want to Write a Book?

Someone said there is a book that all of us, and maybe they're right. Maybe you also can write a best-seller.

Many want to write his memoirs and family history to give to friends and family. In this case, go ahead. Grandchildren, great - grandchildren will be interested in what you have done, how long they have lived. Historians are still very interested in the daily life of ordinary people in the past.

This is an essential part of their research, and in the future, historians will be equally interested in his life. But if you think it will cost a lot of money, this is not necessarily the case. It may seem a silly question, but if you write a book in the first place, and why do not you write a book?

Whatever the reason, it is very satisfying when you hold a book in hand, you see your name and think you wrote this. This does not happen to everyone.

Most internet bookseller, Amazon already has millions of titles for readers to choose from, so that your book is lost in the crowd, and will endeavor to make it stand out. Also, like most self-published books are poorly written, libraries and bookstores will not stock self-published books. If the book is a local interest, your local library can put one or two on their shelves.

I published my first book, with a total expenditure of less than $ 100.00, which includes the design of an individual with front and back as well as the format.

However, if you want to write a novel and make a lot of money, is another thing altogether. The unfortunate fact, very few people are making money by writing a book. The renowned authors, with sales of millions of pounds, and can save money.

However, there are many well-known authors who can not afford to give their full - time job. And as for new authors, completely unknown, very rarely do.

While some people make a lot of money self-publishing, the fact is that the vast majority are no longer sold 100, most of them much less, usually less than 10. The largest publishers of websites, Amazon, for example, millions of pounds on their website.

And there are many more Internet bookstores. So your book has very little chance of being noticed. Many publishers of websites that promise sales, but few achieve, so it should be very, very careful. There are many fraudulent vendors that promise much, take your money, and then nothing.

Everyone has heard that a beginner can write a book and make a fortune. The Harry Potter books were the first books that JFK Rowling wrote. It was rejected by over 35 publishers before Orion editor took it. Then, his books have become the most successful in the history of literature, reaching sales of over 450 million pounds not to mention the rights of the film.

Recently it has been followed by the phenomenal success of 50 Shades of Grey trilogy, which was self-published by EL James. It sold 65 million copies to date, and is still flying off the shelves. At the time of writing, there are a number of film companies to tender for the right to make a film about it.

The Internet is full of self published authors, having persisted in marketing their books, have finally achieved remarkable success, many of them are indeed a very comfortable life. This is the case of Amanda Hocking. A prolific author, has written more than seventeen books before attempting to publish. His books have been rejected by several publishers scheme, turned to self-publishing in 2011. At first, his books sell slowly then in mid - 2012, his books had begun to sell soon, she accumulated sales of 9000 pounds per day.

 Today, with the high quality of his writing, and marketing efforts, sales shows now run into the millions. So much so that some of the main editorial lines, which became the first place, now they have the contact to ask him to publish his books in the future. Therefore, through hard work, luck, especially good writing, you can do. But do not expect an easy ride, the road will be long, hard and difficult.

Despite all this, it is very satisfying indeed the first time holding a book in your hand, you see your name, and believe I wrote this.
