Books ready for Publication
I have several books that just need images and they will be ready for publication. I have one book in business category already published. I now have several waiting for my attention. If anyone would like to read the whole book I am happy to send you the Notion link, in the meantime here is one chapter: Same Ancestor

@Olivia Merritt in what context?

@Olivia Merritt Its very late here in England and I need to go to bed. In short its years of journal entries, summarising notes (I am a birder and wildlife lover) I have intimate knowledge of the South African wildlife as I was born in South Africa. The core idea is generally to build my characters around factual concepts as a way of teaching and also to play around with the "container character", hope this helps. I will tell you more ion Friday as I am off to the Isle of Wight in the late morning.
How Do You Know What Will Sell? 🤑
Guessing what people want is basically gambling.🎲 Sure, every once in a while someone gets lucky and publishes a book that takes off. But if you're relying on luck, you're making the process much harder than it needs to be. The better approach is research. Before I create a book, I want to understand whether people are actually searching for the topic and whether there's an opportunity to get visibility and convert that visibility into sales. You've probably heard me talk about keywords before, and a tool I use called Publisher Rocket. That's exactly why I'm sharing my latest video. In it, I walk through my keyword research process, how I evaluate book ideas, and the things I look for when deciding whether a topic is worth pursuing. If you've ever wondered how to stop guessing and start making more data-driven publishing decisions, check it out below.

I have written several books which are publishable but as yet unpublished. I guess the truth is I never actually wrote them to get sold, my objective is I have a message I want to pass on. I love to write short stories as well about wildlife... I guess they will never really be of any interest as they are not designed to be a trending or popular.
SCAM ALERT 🔴 FREIDA MCFADDEN
⚠️ I am thinking about locking this group down to PAID because I keep seeing the same kind of scam happen over and over again. People enter the community posing as high profile authors to try to gain your trust and win your business. As you can see 3 different accounts i've had to ban over time from scammers / spammers trying to sneak in and take advantage of this community. How do they get in? Most of the time when they apply to join they have the HIGH RISK flagged to them and I immediately DENY, but they are getting smarter to the spam and catching on. They apply under the name of SOMEONE ELSE then once they get in they update their display name to show whatever author they are trying to impersonate. ➡️ Do you think a paywall would be the right solution to avoid this? ⁉️ What do you think would be a fair rate to access the community for new members? **No changes are happening right now but I've been thinking a lot about this recently to better protect the community and my SANITY. 😆

I noticed psyco thrillers in one of her profiles... sounds exciting.

@Krista Brea okay... "disappointed"
If You Received a $10k Royalty Check...
💰 Hypothetical Question... If Amazon dropped a $10,000 royalty check into your bank account this month from your books, what would you do with it? Would you: 📚 Reinvest it into publishing more books? ✈️ Take a dream vacation? 💳 Pay off debt? 🏡 Put it toward a home project? 📈 Invest it for the future? 👨‍👩‍👧 Spend more time with family? One of the things I love about publishing is that every book can become a digital asset that continues working long after you've finished writing it. So tell me... What's the first thing you'd do with a $10,000 royalty check?
