My journey to becoming a professional writer with several titles under my name wasn’t a piece of cake. I had to learn, try, fail, learn again, try harder, fail, learn more, work smart, and finally, I made it. No one would believe a person of my caliber, someone unknown, with no strong roots in writing, would grow to become a notable writer. However, I did that with confidence, and I’m ready to share whatever I can about this series of books.
Now, let’s get to the reason you clicked on this video. Today, we’ll explore how you can write and publish books without spending a penny and earn something from your work.Before attempting anything, make sure to learn, research, and delve into various aspects of book publishing and writing to see if you’re prepared to light your candle or buy spare candles. Additionally, watch, read, and listen to testimonies from established authors to improve or gain new useful information. Let’s dive into the work. First and foremost, prepare your draft – the core of everything you’ll be doing. I recommend using the free mobile app called ‘Novelist’ for arranging, writing, editing, adding attachments, corrections, word counts, and saving files in multiple formats, including epub2 and 3.Secondly, if your work is in English, try using ‘Grammarly,’ a free Android and PC app that checks and corrects each sentence, word by word, ensuring it identifies where you went wrong in your draft. The app consists of both free and premium features.
Now, the best part – publishing. Choosing the right publisher that fits your demands is crucial. I recommend 100% free publishing platforms that can transform you into a magnificent writer. As a newbie to publishing, I initially used ‘PencilApp Publishers’ for my first three books. They are Indian-based publishers who offer free publishing services, sending your work to hundreds of book retailers and bookstores worldwide. They also provide premium opportunities, such as pitching your story to movie theaters and editing services.
I tried a few other publishers but settled when I came across ‘Draft2Digital,’ the best free publishers out there. They offer complete free services, exceptional customer service, and a sense of community by valuing the participation of every author on the platform. They publish books to hundreds of bookstores, assist in free advertising during festivals and special occasions. I highly recommend Draft2Digital because financially, they send you money on the 15th of each month, and their royalties are author-friendly.
If you’re looking to turn professional without spending a penny, the time is now.
