  • Professional Writer for ebook

    • Posted Jul 27, 2002 3:09 PM

      Celeste - I know MANY ebook writers who are certainly
      not expert writers and have been extremely successful.

      When people purchase ebooks (or tangible books for
      that matter) written in the non-fiction field, they
      are by and large looking for subject matter expertise,
      which you have already stated you have.

      Here are a few tips I have learned that have done
      well for me. Remember, your writing style will not
      affect your sales, but will impact your return rate.
      As long as your content is good and your style
      personal, your return rate is likely to be very low
      (<3% anyway)

      1. Write as if you were talking to one reader. Tell
      them a story - introduce the conversation, provide
      some benefits to why they should listen to you,
      clearly lay out what your book will do for the reader
      and break your information into a series of steps or
      clear stages.

      2. Blueprint your book first. Start with a series of
      questions you know your readers will want answered -
      then separate these into further questions within
      chapters. That way, when you go to write from your
      blueprint, you will address the most pressing issues
      in your reader's minds.

      3. Go back and edit after for the standard spelling,
      grammer, replacement of the word "that" - it can almost
      always be taken out.

      4. Just do it - it's always much easier to edit complete
      work than to edit as you write.

      Hope this helps...
