Rebelious rules by Kristina Gallo

Many times you will hear in social media about how indie authors are supportive to each other. This is only partly true and behind that statement is a false background. As an author, I have many followers in social media, but my interaction is not big. If I post a personal photo I will get some likes, less likes for my book covers and even less for my review notifications or book blurbs. Sometimes, when someone follows me, I got a personal message to support that person. This message is in the form "vote for me", or "can you review my book." Such people don't even read about me section to see that I am author who needs readers. Sometimes, authors are rude to each other. Once author asked me in public can I read his books. When I said I am busy he called me an arrogant person.  It is not rarity that authors offer their editing services when they hear on how I am not a native English speaker.  So, if you are doing all the things above, you consider me as your comp...

Did you read my contemporary romance and mystery? The blurb: Karolina and Filip are a childless couple in a marriage full of daily conflicts and frustrations. Karolina eases her loneliness in a fantasy world of internet chat rooms with strangers while Filip remains blind to her pain.

T he reviewer said: The Seller of Sins is one of those books that draws you in from the very beginning and doesn't ever let you go. It has been a few days since I finished the book but I am still thinking abou...

When you are an indie author, you will need editing. That means you will hire an editor who should be professional, American or British. Sending your book to editing doesn't mean your job is over. If you take edited book for granted, you might be unpleasantly surprised. If you look on Amazon shelves, every second book has a comment about "bad editing". It happens even to successful writers.  What is important is to spend your money for editing in smart way. If you pay, you need to get edited book in return. The way how some editors work is various, and some of them might disappoint you. What kind of editors you can meet? Slow editor . You submitted your book for editing before two months, it still did not arrive. When you impatiently wait to publish your book, time is precious. Fast editor . This editor will bring you back your book for 24 hours. It is not serious work. Even if English is your mother tongue, there are still mistakes you might not seen. It looks like someo...

Reviews are very important promotional material for authors. Like in a movie, when you read opinions of audience, the book should have reviews. When you want to pick awesome book between millions of other books, you will look for reviews. It doesn't matter are these reviews good or bad, something in the book should intricate readers. " The biggest shit I ever read. " "Find an editor." "Don't spend your money." Or: " This book chills me out." "An adrenaline booster. " " Masterpiece." The background of review should be various, a personal admiration for authors or support from friends. If reviews are objective, it talks about a book.  Now, what happens if the book is without reviews? This is blank area. New books will be without reviews, but for a short time. As soon as reader is receiving a book, first reviews will jump fast. If the book is a long time on Amazon, but without reviews, it means few things: The book is not...

https://youtube.com/shorts/F1NK0nr_k8E?si=XoKqy6GBQ9DlO9Q- It is hard to get YouTube subscribers. If you are not famous, you might get dislikes from kids who use internet for fun. Having a You tube content means you have to do something do attract audience. I saw a guy who is swallowing a big amount of food in rapid pace and recording it. Mostly, authors post their book links and advices for other authors, that not many are listening to. Your trailers for books will pass unnoticed, unless you are famous. Some people are organizing youtube boost, to gain followers in a way follow to follow. That is resulting with annoying people who text you to follow their channel. Making a quality content doesn't mean you will get many followers.  You need to catch your audience.  Today is unpopular reading books. If you promote book trailers, people will ask for audio books. Rare will click on your links.  We became society where is popular to fart online, but presenting something serio...
