10 TIPS TO WRITE A BESTSELLING STORY

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Thu, 26 Mar 2020 20:39:00 +0000

10 TIPS TO WRITE A BESTSELLING STORY

A good story is what would put you in the limelight, but writing one is not easy, and even harder when you try to write a bestseller.

In this post, I present 10 tips or secrets to writing a bestseller. These tips are a summary of my personal experiences and the researches I have made in 10 years as a writer and seller.

1. Once you have a story to write, try as as much as possible to write in one sitting if the story is short or in one season (3 months), if the story is long. Don't worry about the plot, you can edit that later. The first draft is usually the discovery process. Just keep writing.

2. Your protagonist is what develops a bestselling story. Make sure you develop your protagonist to make decisions that would make him fall deeper into whatever trouble your story gets him into and must come to a point where he makes the decision to get out. Use other characters, like a villain or a fool that reveals the protagonist's softer side. This is one way you can further development the protagonist.

3. A best-selling story must be suspenseful and full of drama. Without these two, you can never have a great story. To create a suspense, use a dramatic question like "is she going to make it?" This is how you put your protagonist's fate in doubt while arousing your reader's mind to know what happens next.

4. Paint a beautiful picture that your reader's can see right in front of their eyes. Your story should play like a movie in their minds. The rule here is to show the story to unveil in your reader's mind.

5.       A best-selling story should come with a good dialogue. Therefore, you must have an intimate knowledge of your characters to create a beautiful dialogue. Use less of "he said," "he exclaimed," "she announced," etc.

6.       Every best-selling story involves the death of a loved character. They may wake up later in the story but this is necessary to elucidate pity on the side of your readers. Tap into the power of death in your story telling.

7.       Edit your work. Polish your work in 3 drafts.

8.       Share your work and never allow criticisms to deter you from succeeding. Pick yourself up and make it happen.

9.       Promote your work. Don't leave your books at the shelves. Learn to pull web traffic to your bookstore page.

10.   Learn to give your characters certain flaws that your reader's can relate with because perfect people simply do not exist.

How to Copyright a book

WHAT IS COPYRIGHT

Copyright protects your book from being copied by others. So, to protect your book, characters and settings from being copied, you will need to Copyright it. It is also advisable that you register the copyrighted material with federal authority.

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A COPYRIGHT AND REGISTRATION WITH FEDERAL AUTHORITY?

There's a difference. Let's use an analogy. Let's say Mr. A read your book and made a copy of it before you came to Copyright it and was told someone has a right on your book, if you cannot prove to the court that he read your book prior before copyrighting it, then you have no case. But when you get your book registered with federal authority, it doesn't matter if he read it or not, because constructive notice makes prior knowledge of your book irrelevant.

It is highly advisable to register your Copyrighted material to enjoy the full benefits of a Copyrighted book.

The Major reason behind all these is notice. If two people cone up with the same material at the same time without prior knowledge of each other, both will share in the equal claim of the Copyright. In the Same vein, if you keep your manuscript in your hard drive and someone comes up with a similar material, you would be out of luck in Copyrighting the material.

10 reasons to self-publish your book

10 reasons to self-publish your book

We present 10 reasons why you should choose self publication over the traditional publishing way. We have done extensive research on both routes and have come to the conclusion that self-publishing is the best route.

1. Self-publishing cuts off an approximately 3 years of waiting for the agents and publishers to even accept and look into your book. Self-publishing makes you create and follow your own timeline. Following your own timeline ensures that you cut-off all the waiting periods and months of querying and revisions from the agents. Even Rowling, the famous Harry Potter author was rejected a dozen times before she was finally published.

2. Self publishing gives you control over your story and platform. The traditional route may ensure that their editors may want you to change what you may not want to change. Self publication ensures that you keep your story, keep the cover and the price of your book and where it is distributed.

3. Self publication gives you higher royalties compared to traditional publishing houses that take a big chunk of the returns.

4. A book that will explode in sales will definitely explode. People don't actually care how a book is published as long as the book is good. This is the best time to use the available resources- createspace print on demand and free ebook distribution to your advantage.

5. Traditional publishing or not, either way, promotion is up to you. This is one reason I choose self publication.

6.       Self publication makes you believe in yourself. 50 shades was self published. Don't you want that kind of self accomplishment.

7.       You become your own boss.

8.       Self publication offers potential for huge profits which you alone can eat. You just might strike it big.

9.       With self publication, you can create a tax heaven. This means that you can write off a portion of your mortgage or rent from the profits made.

10.   Traditionally published books usually go out of print, but when you self publish, you can be sure your book will always be available.

How to make money from book sales

How to make money from book sales

As a book author, it is very easy to imagine that your books will sell millions of copies while you retire at a private island and spend the rest of your life on the royalties made from your book sales.

In reality this is not so. What is easily obtained is that a book author barely makes more than minimum wage.

Traditionally, you receive an advance and 10 percent royalties from the net profits.

For instance, if you got an advance of $5000, you will need to sell 4000 copies at $25 each to breakeven. Do not be dismayed. It is still possible to make money from writing. Let the stories of JK. Rowling, James Patterson and Daniel Steel inspire you. You definitely can still make a living as an author even though you have not sold a copy of the book.

There are other ways to make money from your book and one of the ways is the relationship you build with your readers. For instance, JK. Rowling and John Grisham made more money from TV and film adaptations of their book.

BOOK DESCRIPTION

A thrilling, page-turning debut about a twisted killer and a broken cop—both with nothing to lose.

Paul Czarcik, the longest-tenured detective in the Illinois Bureau of Judicial Enforcement, puts the rest of the team to shame. Ruthless and riddled with vices, Czarcik always gets his man. And fast. Until now…

A double slaying isn’t the open-and-shut case of urban crime he’s used to. Connecting it to a high-profile Texas judge, Czarcik realizes something bigger is going on. It’s the work of a serial killer for whom Chicago is just the beginning. Now he’s inviting Czarcik to play catch-me-if-you-can on a cross-country murder spree.

Going rogue, Czarcik accepts the challenge. But as the bodies pile up, he must come to grips with the fact that nothing—not the killer, the victims, or the rules—is what it seems in this bloody game of cat and mouse.

MY REVIEW

Enjoyed this book which appears to be a debut book from a new author. Set in Chicago, the plot is a damaged mix of police procedure and serial killer cat and mouse. I enjoy damaged characters in books especially when they have a purpose but this book had some counterbalance for that theme. It definitely kept my interest along the way and I would read another installment for sure. Thanks to NetGalley for a copy of this book!!!

BOOK DESCRIPTION

When 70-year-old Charlotte Perkins submits a sexy essay to the "Become a Jetsetter" contest, she dreams of reuniting her estranged children: Lee, an almost-famous actress; Cord, a handsome Manhattan venture capitalist who can't seem to find a bride; and Regan, a harried mother who took it all wrong when Charlotte bought her a Weight Watchers gift certificate for her birthday. Charlotte yearns for the years when her children were young and she was a single mother who meant everything to them.

When she wins the cruise, the family packs all their baggage - literal and figurative - and spends 10 days traveling from sun-drenched Athens through glorious Rome to tapas-laden Barcelona on an over-the-top cruise ship, the Splendido Marveloso. As lovers new and old join the adventure, long-buried secrets are revealed, and the Perkins family is forced to confront the defining choices in their lives.

Can four lost adults find the peace they've been seeking by reconciling their childhood aches and coming back to each other? In the vein of The Nest and The Vacationers, Ward has created a delicious and intelligent novel about the courage it takes to reveal our true selves, the pleasures and perils of family, and how we navigate the seas of adulthood to cruise - we can only hope - toward joy.

BECOMING BY MICHELLE OBAMA

CLICK ON IMAGE FOR FULL REVIEW

BOOK DESCRIPTION

An intimate, powerful, and inspiring memoir by the former first lady of the United States

In a life filled with meaning and accomplishment, Michelle Obama has emerged as one of the most iconic and compelling women of our era. As first lady of the United States of America - the first African American to serve in that role - she helped create the most welcoming and inclusive White House in history while also establishing herself as a powerful advocate for women and girls in the US and around the world, dramatically changing the ways that families pursue healthier and more active lives, and standing with her husband as he led America through some of its most harrowing moments. Along the way, she showed us a few dance moves, crushed Carpool Karaoke, and raised two down-to-earth daughters under an unforgiving media glare.

In her memoir, a work of deep reflection and mesmerizing storytelling, Michelle Obama invites listeners into her world, chronicling the experiences that have shaped her - from her childhood on the South Side of Chicago to her years as an executive balancing the demands of motherhood and work to her time spent at the world's most famous address. With unerring honesty and lively wit, she describes her triumphs and her disappointments, both public and private, telling her full story as she has lived it - in her own words and on her own terms. Warm, wise, and revelatory, Becoming is the deeply personal reckoning of a woman of soul and substance who has steadily defied expectations - and whose story inspires us to do the same.

MY REVIEW

The second installment is just as good as the first, if not better. We get a few more viewpoints in addition to Holden. Prax, a botanist whose search for his daughter is the driver for the plot. Bobby, a Martian marine and Avasarala, a major UN figure. Avasarala is an amazing character, a foul-mouthed, no nonsense figure who basically runs the UN, after watching the show I totally get why she was included from the start. The stakes are raised in this one, we see some great action sequences, and though I thought it was a little slow at the start, the last half of the book flew by. Holden goes through his own character arc, starting off a little jaded, more like Miller. I also really love the crew on the Rocinante, I think it would be cool to get a POV on some of those. The end was suitably spectacular and I can't wait to find out what happens next.
Just a quick note. I watched the show before reading the books and from what I remember I really don't like what they've done with Amos. He's one of my favorite characters in the books and I remember not really liking him in the show. Perhaps I just took up his character wrong in the show but if so it's a real shame. Yeah he's dangerous and you never quite know what he's going to do, but he is loyal to the crew, he's a good guy.
