Tips and Tidbits
- Plan your chapters in advance, so you track and monitor your writing progress
- It's quality - not quantity - that counts! Chapters should be only 2000-4000 words each - it's not as much as it sounds - the world of online publishing is very demanding on quality and you must exert serious quality control!
- Add images and videos to your chapters to bring your chapters to life! (Please be careful not to infringe copyright. If you're unsure, ask for permission first!)
- Ask friends, family and colleagues to read, share, comment, like, tweet and rate all of your chapters! Feedback is the lifeblood of writers
- Write on something you're passionate about - this is most important of all! Our tagline 'Publish Your Passion' was chosen for a reason, you know!
