LPSCarolineProductions one tip i have is to research your genre. for example the novel im writing is a dystopian one, and so I researched the perfect way to write a dystopian novel without adding cliches and all. And it was very helpful and the website i used even gave me a list of books to read to get an idea on how to write the rebellion part of my novel. The books they gave were kind if old and i didnt rlly want to read them so instead i did some of my own research and using my on bookworm knowledge i came up with a great list of books that I actually want to read and are very helpful during my writing process

Hi Kristen! I found your channel on the recommended videos and since I'm about to start this channel for writers I really want to network with other writers as much as possible. I really like this video for a few reasons. First, I am a firm believer in the potential of young writers. It's one of the things my publishing house is founded on. And second because you actually went out of your way to make an almost 20 minute video directed towards new and young writers and did a GOOD job with what you covered. I will definitely be checking out both your future and past videos, but keep up the good work!

Definitely using the price promotion tool through KDP Select's services for my ebooks. And timing this around Black Friday and CyberMonday tripled my sales!

@jonasanddemi100 7 жыл бұрын

Kristen Martin It's kind of paradoxical, because doing a book promo at a a very low price next to free can does bring sales but the actual earnings will be very low, I think it means more about attracting readers than actually making money. I had a question, I made a short book trailers for my upcoming debut and posted it on KZfaq, Do you know how can I approach any specific KZfaqrs to give me a shot out or something for more exposure? Thank you so much!

Hi, I really appreciate all of your writing tips videos, and especially this one! You give some fantastic and very helpful tips in this video as well as your others. I have one very random, and quite frankly, novice question. What is the approximate number of words in an average 350 page novel? I've researched it, but I keep getting answers like, "Anything over 50,000 words is the average number of words in a young adult or adult novel." That answer is great, but I'm trying to get a view in my head of a 350 page novel and about how many words are in it.

@AuthorKristenMartin 7 жыл бұрын

Hi Lulu, So it does depend on the formatting size, but I can tell you that my book at 70,000 words formatted in paperback 5.25 x 8" (which is pretty much the standard size), is equal to 350 pages. Hope that helps!

However I'm having a little bit of trouble trying to keep the story flowing...

Hi Kristen, I love your videos you are a good help and inspiration for me move forward to reach my dream/goals.

@AuthorKristenMartin 7 жыл бұрын

Hi Devon, This is a great question! I've had this problem in the past as well. In order to stay focused, I would recommend creating a writing schedule or designated writing time. I would also choose a place free of distractions to write. Tell your family and friends about this designated writing time, shut off your phone, turn the wi-fi off on your laptop and go to you writing space. If your family and friends know how important your writing time is to you, then they should have no problem respecting it. Hope that helps!

Where do you find a mentor and do you have to pay them?

I think that if you have to pay them then they are your teacher. Mentor to me is more like someone who sees the potential in you and takes you under his/her wing.

Mika is right - mentors are people that offer their time for free to help you with your writing craft. Teachers or professors or even relatives and friends of relatives can be great mentors.
