Hi! I found your site searching for "Fantasy Blog Novels" so it looks like all the work you're doing is paying off. Have you had any luck getting the novel itself to sell?
ReplyDeleteI'm in the same boat as you. I have a 100K word first novel and I'm torn if I should post the full work online. Something about giving up your rights to "first publication" is what scares me.
So I am taking it easy and posting only a few at Chapters at a time.
Good luck!
What you should do is depending on what you are looking for. If your goal is to get your novel printed and on shelves, you should study up a lot on how to write a good query letter and submitting to agents. Personally I found this a very tedious job while hoping you just happen to catch the right agent in the right mood at the right time to get a first novel going. Then you have to hope it is a good agent and not one of the many scam artists out there.
ReplyDeleteAfter numerous rejections, I started looking into Ebooks and liked what I found. The more I thought on it, the more I began to believe that the future of reading is more in the kindles and nooks. Old timers like myself still love to sit back with a real book, but as the younger crowd starts reading more, they will want to do it with technology. At least that is my opinion. So I decided to get into that while its still up and coming.
As of yet, I have not sold any books, but that just might have to do with the fact I decided to make it a free ebook. Being a free download, it gets downloaded about once or twice a day. Not a lot, but that is fine. I know I am a nobody and so people are not as quick to spend time reading my book when they can get books from more established authors.
My plan is not to expect to get rich right away. It is to get as many people to read my book as possible. When the second book of the trilogy is released, I am hoping some of those who liked the first book will then be willing to buy the second book. I believe the second book, "Descent of Darkness", is better than the first, and has an ending that will intrigue the reader a little more.
I am hoping that as more people read the first two books, there will be more who will look forward to the third. With luck, I will start a small following that will grow as I continue to write. If I hit the lottery and got rich from writing, it would be great, but I am not going into it expecting this. I am expecting it to be a project that hopefully will continue to grow. With a lot of luck, maybe someday I can turn writing into my full time job.
I would not keep adding new chapters on line unless you add the entire book as an ebook. Put enough out there for readers to get interested and willing to check the entire book out. I have heard some say to go right to Amazon and put your book there. That may be the right way to go. Myself, I decided to go with Smashwords because I did not know enough on how to turn it into an ebook and Smashwords offers a very good guide on doing just that.
Wow. Maybe I should have just turned that into another article! lol
