![]() Professionalism comes from you, not your platform. Self-publishing doesn't mean lack of professionalism. KDP is the First Amendment meets Technology. Nobody can force you to do "this" or "that" when it goes against your entire gut. KDP is the "Choose Yourself" way to publish a book. Which also gave a feeling of professionalism to my book. ![]() So I asked (which was very difficult for me to do) Dick Costolo, CEO of Twitter, to write the foreword of my book. I feel like Twitter is the new "choose yourself" media compared to the old traditional newspapers and other media outlets. If we are not the writer of our rules, then someone else will write them for us and the results will not be pleasant. The rules we think are "normal" are all man made. My book is called "Choose Yourself!" because I feel in every way we have to choose ourselves for success and happiness. So I used the best in the business to market my book.Īs part of my marketing I offered to do guest posts, speak at conferences, write for other publications, whatever I could do to help other people and get my name out there to their audiences. I find out who marketed some of my favorite best-selling books. It just looks good to have an audio and Kindle and print book all on the same page. Then uploaded through Audible, an Amazon company. But I did one and used the same studio President Clinton and JK Rowling used for their books. Even long after he was paid the final installment he kept working with me on rewrites. He helped me organize where chapters go, which sections needed to be stylized differently, which sections needed more material to flow more smoothly into the next chapter. We went through 20 rewrites where he not only helped me with correcting grammar but helped me with the entire structure of the book. I found an editor by finding which authors I liked and who edited their books. I like to write, but every writer needs a good editor. So I hired one of the best cover designers in the world to design my book. That is what I am most professional about. This is what is great about KDP.īut I like to write. And with KDP, the beauty and the beast of it is that you can upload anything and now you're published. ![]() You might think: a traditional publisher would not put out a non-professional book. Whether or not you use a traditional publisher or KDP, you could easily produce a non-professional book. With my latest book, Choose Yourself!, I finally decided to be as professional as possible in my publishing effort. What I learned most was not Traditional versus Self, but Professional vs. and why I made the switch to KDP, which has made me infinitely happy. I have many times on my blog and even gave details on advances, copies sold, etc. I was published by traditional publishers for my first five books. Then I wrote about it and now I had enough experience in life to actually say something. Then I started 20 businesses and most of them failed. Then I hated my job so I started a business. It's hard to imagine ways the experience could be much better.įour unpublished novels later and 500 rejections later I had to get a job. When we updated APE in February, the new version was live in eight hours. We approved the CreateSpace proof on Christmas night and had a physical copy by December 27th. Our experience with CreateSpace and KDP has been - no bull shiitake - fabulous. In particular, we wanted the ability to give books away via the KDP Select program. We chose KDP/CreateSpace because my prior experience was that Amazon was where the action was happening. This led me to write APE because I knew, as Steve Jobs would say, "there must be a better way." ![]() This was the perfect chance to try self-publishing because I knew that Google+ was too limited a topic for a traditional publisher.ĭuring this process, I learned how hard it is to self-publish a non-fiction book with pictures, captions, tables, and lists. Around the same time, I fell in love with Google+ and decided to write a book about it. When I heard this, it showed how backwards traditional publishing was. Instead, it referred the company to retailers. A company wanted to buy 500 copies of the eBook version of Enchantment, but my publisher was unable to sell it directly. I wrote a book called Enchantment, and it was published with one of the Big 6.

Its presence in larger crystals as gorgeous golden strands are ever welcome as it is considered to enhance the properties of the gem and make it even more spectacular. The stone takes its name from the Greek word for Evil or Unwanted Guest which may relate to it previously being seen as an impurity when it showed up as traces in iron ore.

Instead of having the players look at a still image of the characters(making the same expression from a panel ago), why not make them do the expression you explicitly wrote out for said character. The animations thus far are really lovely! But in order to get your game on top, you'll need to go the extra mile. ![]() All i am saying is, take advantage of these powerful tools to keep your audience immerse in your game. Now if music and sound has that type of power, why would you leave it out of your game? The MC often takes fresh air breaks, so why not add the sound of a gently breeze(or whatever the weather is like), humming and shower sounds, moans, and varies other sounds. Almost every emotion known to men can be felt by music, and sound follows the same principle. Music is like medicine to our souls, where words fail, music speaks. Your writing abilities aren't bad at all, it just sounds very unnatural to a Native English speaker, and the more time the players spend correcting your errors, the more they'll become disinterested in your product. Hire or ask for help from a Native English speaker, to fix/minimize the many grammatical errors that are present in your writing.
