I’m devoting the entirety of this post to
deciding whether to write a fiction book
you have on your mind for an important
reason – it’s easier to make sales for a
nonfiction book consistently than it is for
a fiction book. This is especially true if the
nonfiction book is a self-help book or
another book which is likely to appeal to a
lot of people in your niche market, people
who are likely to buy your book now.
Getting enough people to buy a fiction
book you write is a different animal.
Before you commence writing it, take
these critical measures to help ensure you
don’t waste your time writing,
proofreading, editing, publishing and
marketing it:
1) Spend at least a few minutes at your
computer pondering whether you can truly
make the book into a piece of work that
someone other than perhaps a dedicated
family member of yours will buy.
2) If you determine it’s worth it to pursue
the project, spend considerable time
coming up with a strong title for the book
and think about how you can begin the
book with an action scene likely to hook
people into buying your story.
3) Devise a solid book description you can
put into your “About the book” page and
the blurb section of Amazon or anywhere
else you choose to self-publish your work
or submit it to a literary agent or
publishing house for consideration.
These are the steps to take before making
your final decision to write a fiction book. To
