Publishing is not a bullfight Here we are not on television, where amateurs in turmoil go to have fun and entertain and at most, if they say something wrong, they take home a few whistles and bells. Here we are in the publishing market, where there is no place for amateurs. You can be an amateur at selling, ok, no problem, there's a first time for everyone. But you can't be amateur in the product you sell. No, that product must be of quality, it must work. You must have put it up for sale after you have accumulated good experience in creating that product. Do you want to publish an ebook on your own? Do you want to avoid publishing houses? It's good for everyone, even the publishers.
But first go through the mess, it's there at the bottom, you can't go wrong. The word apprentice has the same initial as the word pillory . Do you know why? It's not a coincidence, there are some who claim that coincidences don't exist. Because with the apprenticeship you expose yourself in public and receive everything the public throws at you. Rotten tomatoes included. Do you want Phone Number Data to play too? Anyone who sells their books is a professional This must be understood once and for all. If you put a cover price, if you write 0.99 or 2.99 euros on your ebook, you are selling a commercial product. That's no longer art, it's commerce. Art, I have said several times, ends with the last page of the novel. From the moment editing begins, we no longer talk about art, but about editorial marketing.
Writing is knowing the craft of writing Which, let's be honest, isn't that complicated. Italian grammar is studied in elementary school, it is also studied again in middle school - at least it was like that when I went there. So I'm not even counting it on the 10-things-to-study-to-become-writers. Because it is by default, to use a modern concept. The rest is just reading and writing exercise. Of course, also knowledge of history as a set of narration techniques and organization of writing work, but nothing that can't be learned with practice.But a story is not just made up of writing, but also of something else, such as the development of the characters, some future subplot, the choice of names, the rereading.
