The Big Boys make you think that’s literary cute to claim the title, “Starving Writer,” the way it has always been, the way it’s supposed to be. Try telling that to giant Danielle Steele and others on her level. They make big money because their volume has grown so big over the years that a 10% return is a huge amount to receive three times a year, or whatever schedule of payment the publisher uses. Such giants are like machines turning out intrigue after intrigue. But if you’re working 24/7 to sell 5.000 books at @ $15.00 that’s only $75,000, and your share of that is only 10%, or $7,500. With that $21,000 a year you can’t afford a nice new car, or home, or live above the poverty line. So what I’m talking about is making some real money from self-publishing. I’m talking to writers who want to make a lot of money writing and publishing, and making it while you’re writing the great American novel. So let’s see what that entails:
1) Well written: whether fiction or nonfiction, you can’t just string a lot of words on a page and hope a lot of people will pay you for it. You need to dig deep and figure out how to get the reader’s heart to pumping, and his brain to jumping. You need seductive details based on knowledge or research, or in my case, both. In the case of my novel, “The Mayor’s Wife Wore Sapphires,” I wanted to say and prove that division hingers Black people's progress. So stop it! Get over it. When you decide what you want to say, you can write your book in 60 days. With writing only five pages a day, you’ll have 300 pages. Edit it in 30 days. In 90 days, you’ll have a book that can make money. Or you can write your e-book in 7 day and earn big from it. Great isn’t it, especially since it took me ten years to write my book. Because I know better now, you don’t have to go through that kind of torture. And you won’t have a thrown-together, shallow book either. Next, we’ll talk about how to get the required intrigue. sign up for free membership: 19298@zinester.com sign up for free teleconference: writelink3@yahoo.com write telecnference in subject line http://archives.zinester.com/19298/147585.htmlhttp://subs.zinester.com/19298http://archives.zinester.com/19298email@domain.comSubscriberUnsubscription link |
