Writing E-books

[Wandering MGHOWParticipant 551]

Anybody with experience in writing a novella or some type of e-book and selling it through Amazon? Can you explain the process of how you got started? Do you make a “Pen-name” to ensure that you remain anonymous? Should you write from the “heart” (science fiction), or write what is likely to make more money (BDSM, erotica novels)?

How long should it be, and is there a program to download that organizes your story into a “book” format?

I think this would be a nice side-gig and I would love to make some money from it, but also it’s something that I think would make me happy on a personal level. I just don’t know where to begin. Any help boys?

I just googled what to do and I would of never thought it would be that easy. I might write a Texas hold’em strategy book myself someday, seeing that I believe that I am an intermediate level poker player at this point of my life after over 12 years of studying and playing the game myself.

-Word (DOC / DOCX)
-HTML
-Mobi
-ePub
See our Simplified Formatting Guide for more details.

KDP also supports illustrated books like comics or children’s books. Learn more about KDP tools for illustrated and chapter books.

Once you upload your manuscript, we’ll automatically convert your book for Kindle. To learn more about preparing your book, you can download our official Building Your Book for Kindle guide, or browse our Help topics in the left-hand navigation bar.

Step 2: Publish

-Enter the required title information (book title, author name, categories, etc.).
-Use our Cover Creator tool to create your book cover, or upload your own.
-Verify your rights and territories.
-Set your prices and publish.
-Once your book is live, KDP will show you detailed reports to help you track sales and earned royalties.

Step 3: Promote
-Check out our merchandising tools. We list your book on Amazon websites to help suggest purchases for customers under page sections like “More Items to Consider…,” “Customers with Similar Searches Purchased…,” “Customers Who Bought This Item Also Bought…,” and “Shopping Cart Recommendations.”
-Enroll your book in KDP Select to earn higher royalties, reach new readers through Kindle Unlimited (Abonnement Kindle in France) and the Kindle Owners’ Lending Library and to promote your book with Kindle Countdown Deals or Free Book Promotions.
-Make your books available in as many formats as possible (print, Kindle, audio). This maximizes web exposure in search results and helps boost our automation and personalization algorithms.
-Claim your author page on both Amazon.com and Amazon.co.uk. Readers respond well to short, interesting author bios and clear photographs of the author (not their books). Make sure to link all your books to your page.
-Get active on social media and blogs but don’t limit yourself to promoting your books all the time. Your readers want to know about you as a person.
-Consider adding a message in your book asking readers to leave reviews if they enjoyed it. You could also include a Q&A with yourself to give readers more information on you. We will automatically provide a link for reviews, but sometimes a personal message can have a big impact.
-If you have more than one book available, you can include the first chapter of your next book at the end of your current book to whet the reader’s appetite. Before you do this, make sure the next book is available for purchase or pre-order.

I was checking out the Amazon links posted above and I had no idea you could create comics for the kindle.

Back in 2004/2005 a friend and I came up with an awesome idea for a comic book. A fully fleshed out universe with a whole plot, antagonists, protagonists, supporting characters, etc.

Come to think of it, the main character was a MGTOW!!! (this was long before “mgtow” was a thing)

We never went through with it because we couldn’t find an artist or didn’t have the money to hire one. My friend has since died, but every now and then I still dream about this comic universe we created and I would love to share it with people. It would be cool for me to go through with this since it was our/my dream from when we were teenagers. I would be doing him a good service and I for sure would sneak an easter-egg of him in, maybe his name or something like that, just to honor him and give credit.

The problem unfortunately is that, much like the first time, I still have no idea where to find an artist who will draw an entire comic for me. I’m sure it would be expensive also. I can write a book for now about another subject, but to tell you the truth this is the project I’d be most passionate about. Any suggestions?

You know what Sandals? That crossed my mind because it is the ONLY way to truly express my visions. Trying to have someone else translate my thoughts and visions would be tough and a lot of stuff would get lost in translation. The only real way to do it would be to draw it all myself, but I can’t even draw a f~~~ing stick figure, either by hand or on the computer. This could be a problem but let’s see what I can do. I’ll at least give it a try.

Never say “can’t”. It closes options.
