Review & Description
The eBook marketplace is filled with badly-written books. Because of the success of some ebook authors such as Hocking, Konrath, Mallory, and Locke, the marketplace is seen as a sort of “get rich quick” opportunity by some people. So for every well-written ebook, there are thousands of terrible ones.
Before you even upload your work, you have a reputation problem. The bad reputations of all those thousands of badly-written eBooks that have come before you affect how YOUR book will sell. Readers are jaded already. They paid out good money only to have a product delivered to their Kindle that was less than worthy of even the ninety-nine cents they parted with.
"Writing: The Basics" addresses these problems and gives you techniques to produce good, saleable work that will stand out from the crowd. Taught by a real-life writing teacher, and including writig exercises which will help you improve your craft, the subjects covered include:
