Hi bestwritingforum.com

My name is John and after years of writing screenplays and making no progress I decided to try writing a novel and in April last year I published my debut novel on Amazon KDP. I have joined this forum because I am always looking to make new contacts and friends and I am always looking for any tips / tricks / advice you might have

Hi & welcome, John!

Glad you've joined us. What is the title of your novel?

Hi Laura

The title of my book is Breaking Story by John S Ross and it is available on Amazon -

Good luck with it, John.  Let us know how you get on, and if the Amazon route lives up to your expectations.  Writers are constantly arguing about the best way to publish!

Hi Jo

I have never had a publishing deal with anyone other than Amazon KDP so I don't know how it compares to other platforms. All I can say is that the publishing process at Amazon is fast and easy, the bookshelf and advertising interfaces are very user friendly and the payments are always on time. The only problem I have is the same problem every first time author has and that is getting reviews then ultimately sales.

Which is exactly the same problem most authors go on having, regardless of how they publish.  It's a bloody miracle any of us manages to make a living!
