Rebelious rules by Kristina Gallo

Finding authors and readers who will share your enthusiasm is a great thing. Collaborating, exchanging ideas and tips is even better. How the collaboration should look alike: Improving your writing skills. Reading some books can help you to get inspiration. Getting important informations. You never know in which way you can promote your books. Getting some subscribers and followers. Social media can't exist without followers. Everyone should avoid abuse of collaboration, so these are alerts: Authors are not your customers. If author is not interested at your books, accept this. Don't deceive authors that you read their book, if you did not. A Kindle report shows number of pages in Kindle unlimited. Don't deceive authors that you purchase their books if you did not. A Kindle report shows purchases. Recommendations to find cover creators and editors are also useful. A future publisher is someone who will come by recommendation. Remember to: Respect other's time, they inve...

  I saw a post from the author who has a small number of followers. He complaint how big account ignored him, instead of helping with his promotion. There are lot of author's communities to help with book visibility, but forcing people to support you is a wrong move. If you see authors with big accounts, have in your mind that there are hours, months and years of collecting followers. Using paid advertising, promo pages, exchanging messages with others and solving unpleasant situations with trolls demands a lot of time. If you have a regular job, and mostly indie authors do, pressure is even bigger. After all this, you should connect some beginner with your account? Here are lot of reasons why every author should plan his trip alone. You can ask for a support later . Every author is different, based on genre, style and abilities. Some are introverted and social selective and not everyone will join you. Authors progress differently. Some will give up on...

The process of writing a book is often perceived as simple at first glance. All one needs is a computer and a comfortable seat, and with some free time, the writing can begin. However, once you actually sit down to write, it becomes evident that it is not as easy as it seemed. Are you in the midst of writing a story? Do you sometimes struggle with how the story will conclude, or find it difficult to recall details after a hiatus from writing? It's not uncommon to experience a lapse in memory regarding the details of the plot or the names of characters after a break from writing. The story might slip from your mind, requiring a return to the basics in order to recapture its essence. To find inspiration and connect with your creative muse, there are several elements in play: A Strong Emotion : Whether it's fascination, anger, rage, or sadness, the moment when you feel compelled to express something is when you know you are ready to write. When an intense emotion driv...

Your book is live. That day came, and now you need an audience, a reader's community to show interest. What you need are readers who will read and review your book. The author feel excited like a student who went to the exam and waits for his mark. In this situation, you are not afraid of negative reviews. What is the point? Sometimes, your readers are not reading your book. They pretend they read, instead of this they are scrolling pages and write reviews, thinking they are doing a favor. A real reader will need time to read book. It is not fast eating and swallowing, there is much more in reading books. It demands your time, focus and attention, also understanding. That is why I read 20-30 books per year, I can't do more. A book review can talk much about reader. If the review is short, it could be a sign that a book is not read. Maybe I am wrong, maybe a reader did not enjoy so he left only a note. How to know your book is not read? There are no sign of reading pages in your...

Indie authors have a small budget. If you are indie, it means you probably have a regular work. That pays your bills, and you will be careful how to spend money on your book release. You have no agent , it means all work is on you. What you need is money for editor, cover creator and formatting book. Then you need money for advertisement and promotion for your book. If you want your paperback, you will buy it from Amazon, with your money. Considering all this, many indie authors ask for a cheaper choice or free options.  Here are mistakes what they do: Doing own covers with a help of Kindle creator . They will pick up patterns from Kindle or free pages and make own covers. It is not a good move because many readers are picky and choose book captured by the cover. If your cover looks amateurish, your book will not sell as you wish. Editing books by their own . Unless you are professional editor, it will not work out well. Editing by Grammarly or other similar pages will fix basic mi...
