Novel Writing Made Easy-How
To Plan A Novel That Practically Writes Itself

REVIEW

It’s not difficult to find information on how to write a novel. It’s not hard to find novel writing classes and novel writing books. But it IS difficult to find a full, step-by-step novel writing system that will lead you all the way from idea to completed book. It IS especially difficult to find an affordable such system.

Most novel writing programs either give you only part of what you need to know on writing a novel, or they cost hundreds of dollars or more.

Author Andrea Rains Waggener saw this void in the novel writing information arena and decided to put her expertise to use. She wrote a set of e-books that lays out a complete, step-by-step plan for planning and writing a novel.

The Novel Writing Made Easy-How To Plan A Novel That Practically Writes Itself writing system is not just one, but two e-books. One e-book is a 184-page information packed instruction manual for planning and starting your novel. The other e-book is 97-page taskbook that walks you through the actions you must take to put into practice what you learned from the manual. The Novel Writing Made Easy System is an organized, easy-to-follow system that can teach anyone to turn an idea into a completed novel.

Written in an easy-to-follow, conversational style, the Novel Writing Made Easy-How To Plan A Novel That Practically Writes Itself writing system is a quick read. It is also a fun read.

Andrea, whose first novel was picked up by one of the biggest publishers in the world, Bantam Dell, admits that it took her awhile to develop a novel writing system that works. She’s sharing her system, she says, because she doesn’t want other new novelists to struggle as she did.

If you want to get a look at the kind of information Andrea has to offer, sign up to receive her two free reports, The 18 Most Common Writing Mistakes And How To Avoid Them and A Dozen Fiction Writing Mistakes And How To Sweep Them Out Of Your Story and get her Weekly Writing Tips-Ideas And Exercises To Help You Be A Better Writer. They’re worth giving up your e-mail address for.

The Novel Writing Made Easy-How To Plan A Novel That Practically Writes Itself writing system covers these aspects of putting together a novel:

  • Brainstorming every twist and turn of your story’s action
  • Developing a compelling plot
  • Creating powerful subplots that will make your novel rich and engaging
  • Developing the back story that will make your characters every bit as real as you or me
  • Creating complete main character sketches and a minor character sketches that will bring your characters to such vivid life that you AND your reader will feel like they’re real people
  • Creating a compelling overall novel setting that will make your novel stand out heads above your competition
  • Determining what research you need to do, and how to do just the right amount (not too much or too little)
  • Designing the scenes of your novel in a way that will assure that your novel’s pacing will be just right
  • Writing in a way that evokes all the senses so your reader will be drawn into your novel’s world
  • Choosing the best words to conjure the image you want to create so that your writing is polished and professional
  • Creating a perfect balance of details, enough but not too much, so that your reader always has a clear picture of your scenes but is never bored
  • Writing a editor- or agent-grabbing query letter for your novel
  • Writing a 15- to 25-page synopsis of your novel that will tease editors or agents just enough that they’ll HAVE to see the rest of your novel

Although saying that your novel will write itself if you follow the steps in the e-books is a bit of a stretch, the process does make writing a novel MUCH easier. Andrea admits that her process isn’t as quick as some online novel writing e-book authors promise (you probably won’t be able to do all she suggests you do in 30 days), she says that her system will take you to a quality book.

Although I haven’t put her system to the test yet, the step-by-step plan makes perfect sense. For the first time, I can imagine myself getting through the complexity of writing something as big as a novel.

The e-book set has only one minor drawback. It will be tough for you to know if you’re on track with the tasks you’re doing in the taskbook without getting feedback. Andrea, however, does have a coaching system that can help with that, and she provides information about it in the e-books.

The feedback problem aside, the e-books have enough top-notch information to make it well worth their price. The bonus material, which include several writing books and books to help you improve your creativity, are impressive.

At $47, the e-book set and its bonuses is a great deal. You’ll definitely get your money’s worth. The e-book has an open-ended guarantee so you don’t take any risk.

All in all, I highly recommend the Novel Writing Made Easy System to any who has ever thought about writing a novel.

Make Your Own Books

This week I came across a report on how to make your own books, how could you benefit from making your own books? Why would you want to make your own books? Well I had a little think about this and I realised how profitable it could be for you. I know ebay and Amazon do not enable you to sell downloadable books. Yes you can use ebay classified ads to sell your ebooks, but it can be a bit pricy compared to using buy now or auction facilities.

On Amazon as a proseller you can list your own products, imagine if you write your own books or have some quality ebooks that you could convert into a 'normal' books, you could list them but print and cover on demand, quickly and affordably. No stock to hold, no searching for books and storing until sold. You could price as you wish but lets be very modest and assume that you only received £8 profit per book and you sold just 10 ebooks per week £80 per week and the postage costs should fit comfortably within Amazon’s postal credit, in fact depending on the weight you may even make a profit from the postal credit on top of your book profits. Costs would be minimal and of course you could list endless amounts of ebooks and listing on amazon is free therefore how many books you list and how quickly will be down to your time and ability. Space is no issue becuase you store your Ebooks in a folder on your computer not on shelves around your home. If you have no idea how to get quality ebooks; you can either write your own or have other write it for you, or use the public domain. ..

Powerful Online Book-Selling Tips:Quick eBay Cash



10 Online Book-selling Tips: Quick eBay Cash
By Nick Howes




1. Many category books, such as romance, Western, or science fiction, sell best on lots of 20 or more.



2. Some authors sell very well individually. Popular romance author Nora Roberts is one. However, there's a glut of books by other popular authors like Stephen King and Dean Koontz which only sell in a large collection or as part of a more general horror lot. Low prices also apply to something like Star Trek books...you need a huge lot to get even a small bid.



3. Some authors or themes do not sell at any price. I once gave away 80 routine Harlequin silhouette romances for which I could not even get a $3 bid.



4. Children's books are considered very popular.



5. With lots, subcategories will generate higher prices. Romance subcategories, for example, include medieval, Civil War, Western, time travel, occult, fantasy, American Indian, etc. You can come up with some specialized category for which some buyer will salivate.



6. Do not underestimate the power of the word "lot" in your title when appropriate. It is a top eBay search term.



7. Your ultimate information source is eBay itself. See how others list their sales, use description and scans, and, above all, research what your book is going for. I'm amazed that people list books for $20 when everyone else is asking $1 or $2 for the same title.



8. Check your own bookshelves for books to sell, then ask friends and relatives if they have books to get rid of. My sister contributed five bags of paperback books she'd stockpiled. Then hit yard sales, garage sales, flea markets, and, the best, library sales. Library sales are bargains, especially on $2 a bag day where you pay literally pennies per book. You can also run a newspaper ad offering to buy paperback books.



9. Make your sales goal $1.00 per book when selling by lot. Ideally, the per unit expense will be .25 or less per book. You can justify buying a few books for .50 or even .75 if it substantially increases the value of your lot. This way the per unit expense averages out to more than .25 but less than .50.



10. Recycle packaging material wherever possible. Environmentally sound, it also cuts the handling charge you must request. Check store dumpsters, ask friends to save their packaging.

New ways to Sell Books From Home For Financial Independence

Selling Books from Home for Financial Independence
By Randy Wilson




Selling books from home is a great opportunity because just about everyone loves to read. Every year more and more books are available. No matter what kind of books interest you, the industry is going strong.



There are several ways to sell books from home:

  • Selling books online
  • Selling books on Amazon
  • Selling books to Libraries
  • Selling books on Ebay
  • Selling used books from your garage, basement or spare room.
  • Multi-Level Marketing



    Multi-Level Marketing

    There are several ways to start your book selling business. However, the majority of MLM's focus on children’s books, so make sure you are comfortable with that before signing up. The first step is to join a book distribution company and sell the books through home parties, to schools and libraries, and book fairs. Another option is to invest in a personalized book company.



    Joining a distribution company or Multi Level Marketing company to start your book selling business has start up costs ranging from $200 to over $1000, depending on the company and what you are required to purchase to start. However, this cost does include everything you need to get started including several products to show, all paperwork and may even include a website.



    These companies offer your book selling business training and support. Many of these companies truly want the business owners to succeed, because it moves their products. When they offer web sites, you may have to follow their template and they may help you or have already created content that is search engine optimized.



    The commission structure can go up to 50% depending on the item you sell. Some offer bonuses and specials to their affiliates, and you are not required to keep a large inventory. You should only have an inventory that is large enough to show the variety of titles and age groups, but not overwhelm your customers. You place the order for the books as the orders come to you. The parent company then ships you the ordered titles and you take them to the hostess or client.



    Another way to earn income is to sponsor other people who want to start a book selling business. Every sale they make and every person they sponsor adds to your income. You will help them to become successful as your sponsor helped you.



    So with this option you can make money several ways. You can hold home parties and book fairs, or sell to libraries, schools and daycare centers in your area, and you can sponsor others. Plus you can usually get a web site through the parent company or make one of your own if they don’t offer it. This type of book selling business will go as far as you want to take it.



    Other Multi-Level Marketing companies specialize in personalized children’s books. Even though publishing has come a long way, some of these companies can have extremely high start up costs.



    Many require you to purchase inventory and software. They train you to use the software, but you have to choose how many of each title you will need and hope you are right. Some even require that you purchase a minimum number of each title, which can cause start up costs to run into the thousands and leave you with unused inventory.



    But kids and parents love these books. Parents are always ready to buy a personalized book for their child to make them feel special. So, although you may incur steep start up costs for your book selling business, you should see a profit within the year of business if you work hard.



    Some of these MLM's are getting away from required inventory and cutting the start up costs by allowing you to purchase a set of CDs so you can print the books digitally. The books stay on your computer and you print them off as needed. The parent company may require your home book business to purchase the paper and binding material from them to ensure the quality of the books remain constant, but this is still cheaper and less bulky then ordering inventory.



    You can print a bunch out as samples and have home parties. Many of these companies offer web sites in their packages. Even if they don’t, web sites are essential and minimal in cost and many providers have generic templates to help you set up your web site. Personalized book companies give a suggested retail price, you are always able to change it as you feel is appropriate.



    A book selling business is a great way to meet people of all ages and share your love for books with them. It can be worked as a full or part time career, depending on how much and how fast you want your business to grow.
