Writing
You must write the book. Whether a short 5000
word story or a 100,000 word epic. It does require a great deal of
determination to complete a project.
Edit your story. If it takes you a hundred read-throughs,
you must have it as perfect as you are capable of doing.

Grammar & Punctuation
Exploring English
If it doesn't seem you've done enough, you probably haven't.
Generally a good working plan at editing is
to put the story aside and forget about it. I usually give a couple weeks
between edits and work on another story. Then, with fresh, untired eyes, I
read the manuscript again.
It's definitely a good idea to read
the story out loud. Not mouthed, but as if you were reading it to someone. The
smallest overlooked flaws will appear to be enormous at this point like a
neon flashing sign. If you want the story read to you, try a text to voice
program.
Read Please Program
Remove passive words such as that, was, and
been. Reword sentences to remove them, in some instances all you need do is
drop the words and the sentence will remain in tact.
Limit narrative, giving information in
the dialog.
Use
language pertaining to the timeline and be creative, not repetitive with
words.

Promo Only Group
Just
because you're published electronically, there's no reason you can't
promote the old fashion print method.
Take an ad out in a magazine or newspaper. It's
helpful if your book coincides with an event. A Christmas story during
December, a murder mystery set at a carnival can be sold during fair
season in your county.
Mail postcards to friends, family, and associates. These are usually
the first people you can sell to on curiosity alone.
Drop your business card into outgoing mail such as bills,
correspondence, etc. Someone is opening that envelope. Even a secretary
reads.
