Why did I elect to write a post on 3
easy steps for opting to write a fiction book? I
did this to help you determine if you are
making the right decision to begin putting a
lot of time and effort into penning a piece of
fiction you have your heart set on making.
It is easier to generate sales for a nonfiction
item consistently than it is for a fiction item.
This is especially true if the nonfiction
creation is a self-help book or another book
which is likely to appeal to a lot of people in
your niche market, the people who are likely
to buy your item now.
Getting enough people to buy a fiction
work you write is a different animal
altogether. Before you commence writing it,
you should take certain measures to help
ensure you do not waste weeks or months
of your time writing, proofreading, editing,
publishing and marketing it. Here are 3
easy steps for opting to write a fiction book:
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. Is it
likely to have mass appeal, something that
will probably make its way to much of
your target market? Do you believe you can
make it very interesting and entertaining in
addition to making it presentable,
memorable and cohesive? If your answer to
both of these questions is yes, you’re surely on
the right track to start crafting the project of
your dreams, which might turn out to be a
bestseller.
2. If you determine it’s worth it to pursue
the project, spend considerable time
coming up with a strong title and think
about how you can begin the item with an
action scene that is likely to hook people
into buying your story. Adding emotion and
power words to your title in addition to
making its font and size visually appealing
will help make it a lot stronger and vastly
enhance your chances of luring the readers
you are trying to target.
3. Devise a solid book description you can
put into your ‘About the book’ page and
the blurb section of Amazon, Bookrix or
anywhere else you choose to self-publish
your work or submit it to a literary agent or
publishing house for consideration. Your
book summary, or blurb, can be what makes
or breaks you for getting your foot in the
door. It needs to be concise and effectively
describe your book without giving away too
much detail. Show, don’t tell. For more
guidance on blurbs, check out ‘Fiction Blurbs’.
These are 3 easy steps for opting to write a
fiction book. Adhering to them may be huge
in delivering a solid return on investment for
the enormous amount of time you will surely
spend on writing your book then doing what it
