Best Young Adult Authors
The greatest authors literature isn't always the same thing as the greatest readers literature and literature isn't something young people enjoy to read. Goodreads has a fairly good list for readers who are looking for young adult books that are popular. What I would like to see, is a list of best young adult authors who are selling their books for $0.99. Does anyone know of something like this?What I enjoy most, regarding popular young adult authors is that they rarely are authors writing to an author. What young adult authors seem keenly aware of is how to write books for their audience regardless of what other authors think.The Best Price Point For New Authors!
I still think the best price point for authors looking to have their first novel published online is $0.99. A number of author’s want to start higher because they earn more money, but $0.99 is a fair price for readers who are looking to take a risk on an author with no publishing history. If the author proves successful they can price their second book for a higher price and earn the greater share at that point. I think this really provides a win-win for both parties involved.Writing creative stories is something that comes easy for some people, but regardless of how easy the initial draft flows from a person’s mind the work that is involved in editing the manuscript should always take the bulk of one’s time. This is particularly true if the young adult author is new and unknown, in this case editing should be superbly done with a sharp eye. Authors that sell their first books at $0.99 should do so with the same amount of time spent on editing their work as authors who sell their books for $10.99. It’s about pride, it’s about craftsmanship, and more importantly, it’s about building a brand.
Should I write a book? Should I publish a book after I've written it? I find myself asking the later of these questions hundreds of times. I've written a great deal, the only thing that has stopped me from publishing is the thought of how much I've poured myself into it and how reluctant I am to let anyone else read it into those ideas. So, I've never been that keen on overexposing myself. How about you? Whether you desire to be one of the next big young adult authors, or a writer of some other genre, have you ever thought about being an author? If so, what have you done about it?
