Six years ago, I wrote this? “Perhaps your dream is to support yourself by writing stories for your favorite romance magazines. Or maybe you’d like to become a novelist. It is extremely difficult to break in as a career writer of fiction. If fiction is your writing bag, I strongly urge you to set that dream aside for now and pursue a mode of writing that is more likely to produce the monetary results you are seeking.”
Things have changed with e-Readers. Millions of people are using e-readers such as Kindle, Nook, etc. And most of them are reading fiction. Novelists are finally starting to make a little money writing fiction. Collecting enough royalties to sustain or, at least, help to support a fiction writing career is no longer only a pipedream, that is if the author will spend time, energy and creativity in promoting his or her books.
Well, it’s not quite that easy. You must have written a book worth reading—one that is error-free, interesting and that is being promoted to the right readership.
If you have written a novel, consider Amazon’s Kindle Direct Publishing Program. If there are others reading this who have an opinion about this or any other e-reader program, we’d sure like to hear from you. Leave a comment here or email me at PLFry620@yahoo.com
