I've chapters written in my Notes and I want to make it like a published ebook PDF, like everything, cover, fonts, headings, page numbers etc etc. Is it doable on my own or one hires an agent for this? Like I want the whole thing to look properly published.
Hello all, I'm publishing my very first science fiction novel (via Kickstarter) in the next month or two. One of the problems I have (there are so many) is that the art work that I have for the cover is AI-generated. While I don't mind using some of that art work for advertising, I think I'd be more comfortable with having something that is NOT AI-generated. I do see a lot of websites where you can pick an already-made book cover. I see other websites where you can order a custom-made book cover... I'm wondering what people's experiences are? Are the book covers that I'm seeing for sale online AI-generated themselves? Am I making a mistake trying to "buy" a NON-AI-generated book cover? Would like to get people's opinions.
In short, what I need is: paperback cover, hardback cover, digital download cover. I have each of these but they are AI-generated. I love the art - but would rather a human being actually did the work. Can I show them the art and have them "base" their art on what I already have? As you can plainly see, I don't know what to do.
Thanks!
Hi everyone,
I’m a new author and I’m trying to figure out the best way to actually get my books in front of readers.
I studied theater for 4 years, and after that I started focusing more seriously on writing. I’ve now written and published 3 books on Amazon Kindle.
The writing and publishing part was challenging, but honestly, marketing feels even more confusing.
I’ve tried a few things already, but I still feel like I’m guessing most of the time.
For those of you who have experience promoting books, what has actually worked for you?
Amazon Ads?
BookBub?
Reddit?
TikTok/Instagram?
Newsletter promotions?
ARC readers?
Something else?
I’d really appreciate advice from people who have actually been through this.
I’m not looking for a magic trick I just want to understand where a new author should focus their time and money first.
Thanks in advance.
I had written a novel earlier this year and I am not sure what to do with it now. I dont have any experience in marketing and finding the Literary agents. I did a bit research on it but could not find a way to publish. I am not sure what to do now. Is there anyone who can help me?
