Write Queen Writes
You just wouldn't believe the trouble I had getting this column 'on the air'. The proess wouldn't have been so tedious if I weren't so technically illiterate, but I am, make no mistake.Finally I found a webmaster who was willing to build a website for me without me taking out a bank loan.
I moved to Alabama the 4th of February after 23 years living in Florida to share living space with my adoptive family and their 6 dogs and my cat Jewely. I didn't have any difficulty adjusting, especially after having lived alone for 6 years, but Jewely was a different story. She was not used to dogs much less people, and spent a lot of time under my bed clothes.
As I write this, though, she is well adjusted, sleeps either in a condo that "Aunt" Linda bought her, or on a sheepskin bed under the TV or in bed with me.
We live in a rural area on the top of what people who live in flat country would call a mountain. Every morning I go out on the enclosed porch of my specially built handicap accessible apartment to say good morning to the world. God has been so good to me.
I will be asking my website visitors to sign up for my newsletter, and after they verify their signature I will send them an ebook that I have read and enjoyed.
You'll never know what I'm going to write about because most of the time I don't either, but I promise you that I will make it interesting. I would appreciate if you would forward this to your family, friends, and co-workers if you like my site and encourage them to sign up too.
If you don't like the site you can always tell me at gloryb2u@ fredadouglas.com. This website will be a continuing work for me and I will always value and welcome your comments and criticism.
That's it for now. Remember, God loves you and so do I.
BONUS : Write The Bestseller-kind-of-novel
TAKE THE MYTH OUT OF BESTSELLER, AND WRITE YOU ONE!
When we see the word "Bestseller," it usually means selling a great number of books, starting around 30-50 thousand copies. Certain bookstores report the sales to certain lists and the book is listed as a bestseller. Well, many, many bookstores that sell lots of an authors books do not report to those lists. Then there are ordinary writers like you and me who sell thousands of books on their own and they dont report to those lists. Those lists usually dont include self-published or small press writers. Many bookstores and lists dont report to Publishers Weekly, the New York Times and USA Today. What a huge disparity!
But I want to share with you something all such books have in common, reported and unreported all are rather well written, most have a fresh concept, and all are pretty well edited. So in this equation, we know that bestsellers have three things in common: 1) theyre well written. 2) Have a fresh concept, 3) theyre well editedno typos or verb-noun disagreement, no misspelling, or run on sentencesonly if the writer is breaking the rule to prove some point.
Ive read quite a few bestsellers that are simple and straightforward, some with twists and turns, but they all have those three qualities in common, and my writing experiences allow me to take the myth out of how they get to be bestsellers. To show that you have a bestseller in you. We all have one; it just needs to be written, edited, polished and promoted. I took five years to write my bestseller-kind-of- novel, but I had no one to teach me the next step. Im moving toward it in the trial and error mode. I want to make this easier for you. These articles are dedicated to those of us who want to be bestsellers. Ordinary sales just arent enough for us. Were experimenting with writing the bestseller-kind-of-book, polishing and promoting it to bestseller status. Ill share every tip with you as we go along.
Now back to Bestseller. I consider a bestseller as a book that is well written, has a fresh concept, and is promoted and sold to a lot of readers. Thats exactly what Mark victor Hansen (Chicken Soup for the Soul) did. He sold those little simple books from the back of his car until he found his path to becoming a bestsellergetting publicity is one of the paths. He started doing lots of radio interviews every day. But his way might not be your way. It all depends on your book. And then, it could be your way. We shall see.
My name is Martha Tucker, and Im sure youve seen my novel on the Internet somewhereThe Mayors Wife Wore Sapphires. Its a romantic inner city political thriller. I ask you to become familiar with it because Im going to be using it to explain certain very necessary principles to youread the three free chapters: www.urbanclassicbooks.com. The novel has two significant 5-Star Reviews and racking up more every day. The Mayors Wife Wore Sapphires is proof that your number one priority is to write a Bestseller-kind-of-book. After it was completed and edited, it took another year to get the edit I wanted. Never be discouraged.
If your book is dull, objectionable, thrown together with a weak plot and cardboard characters, no amount of promoting is going to give it legs to stand on as a bestseller. While youre over on my websitewww.urbanclassicbooks.com, look at the praises my novel got. If you want to see the techniques I use in action, the secrets I applied, then read chapters from my book on my website.
I am going to be using live examples, even by page numbers, to teach you how to write the bestseller-kind-of-novel, because fiction is more difficult to promote than nonfiction. With nonfiction, thousands of people need to know exactly what youre sharing and are willing to pay right then according to fulfill their need. But fiction is born into a competitive worldmostly dominated by the popularity of the authors namesports figures, actresses, actors, the queen, the president, the Presidents wife. Fiction books that immediately become bestsellers are usually those written by big name celebrities or well-known authors. Dont blame the publisher for knowing that people recognize those names and will pay. Those names get free publicity on Good Morning America, The Today Show and USA Today, and Oprah isnt out of the question.
But dont fear. There is a way to sell tons of fiction books for ordinary people like you and me. You have to do your part to change your life in one fell swoopfrom struggling writer to sought after, wealthy author.
Now read the free opening chapters of The Mayors Wife Wore Sapphires and consider the "who, what, when, where and how" in this novel. See how those elements were smoothly tied together so they dont seem like separate parts. Read the prologue and answer the questions for yourself. When you finish my articles you never have to settle for selling your novel to only your circle of family and friends. You can be a bestseller! Till next time###
