The biggest mistake that authors make, especially self-published ones, is to write, publish on Amazon and then act by trial and error or wait for manna from heaven. The sooner we understand that writing is art, but publishing a book is business and marketing, the sooner we will be able to have positive results. The first step to take is to study a marketing plan for the book product . As? By answering the following ten questions. Why did the author write the book? It is easy to argue that you should write what you know or, better yet, what you like. What we like to read, too. But is this really why we write a book? No, if anything those are just the themes, the topics we deal with. But an author must also be driven by a valid motivation to write.
It is the strong idea we have already talked about, the idea that contains the premise and therefore the story. That's exactly where the real reason why we decided to write a book lies. This motif is a kind of message that the writer wants to give to his potential readers. It's his philosophy. Doesn't George Orwell's novel 1984 contain the author's opinion? Which Special Data readers is it aimed at? Know your audience. Many say it: knowing our readers even before having published a book. How many authors ask themselves this question? How many authors write a novel or an essay wondering which audience it will be aimed at? However, an audience exists. The problem is understanding what it is before we start writing. If we choose a literary genre, we need to know what readers it will be for. If we write a children's book, we need to know who will read it. Not asking yourself this question means not being able to write. A book for an audience of children must be written with a precise language. A horror novel requires a different approach than a mystery.
Answering this question allows us to channel our writing on the right track. What potential does the work have? We shouldn't ask ourselves whether it will sell or not, even if such a question is legitimate and should be asked. The question, rather, must lead us to understand how much weight it will have in the publishing market and its sector. The potential of a book is hidden in its premise. In the author's message. 1984 is a novel that brought Orwell to success. It is still a current story and will perhaps always be so. It is a modern novel that will become a classic. The Harry Potter and A Song of Ice and Fire sagas have amply demonstrated their potential. They generated noise, if we want to call that the enormous success they achieved. A weak premise will lead to low potential. Working on the premise will allow us to obtain greater potential.
