    Hi, I have a few books (some of which are ESL)...I was just talking about about publishing in general. It looks like English is your first language? but if not I'd be happy to point you to one of my books if it would help.

    HTML! Ouch. No, just place the code on either side of the text you wish to alter and it should work with no problems.

    How to give back?

    Hi, just had a thought as you mentioned you want to read more books. This book is not in your genre or anything but I'm sure all the writers on this thread will love it. Its called 'aunt Julia and the script writer' its about a writer who writes so much that he loses touch with reality. It is...

    [PROGRESS THREAD]: Six-figure Fiction

    PUBLISHING 
    hi thrifty. I was wondering why you didn't look at 'pricing' in your above post? I have been writing non-fiction trying to fix one problem for people; so the books are pretty short but priced around $2.99. I think people accept this as they think 'well the problems fixed now' and they are...

    Ok shall we say that the criteria to be voted on is: 1) 1,2 or 3 2) How much minimum speed? 3) Whether 1 published book is required. My vote is: 1) 2 2) 20 because it seems easily achievable 3) yes. because hitting publish is where I learned the most.

    hi, any movement on this? anything I can do? I suggest that we all post the type we want 1,2,3 and then start this Friday. I think 3 offers the most privacy but not enough new blood so I'll go for 2.

    Update: As I mentioned I'm changing a previous title bit by bit to see what works. I changed the description box formatting. The change in sales volume has been very slight but it has been there. It is of note that I didn't change the actual text...I may do that later. I'll keep you posted

    Ways to learn how to write before writing an ebook.

    Without a doubt reading a loton different topics and writing lots of essays on various things. But If I had to choose between the two I'd say reading.

    Ignore this! I just posted a plea to let me join even with no speed and then noticed I have speed! How did that happen?!?! Re: the idea, it's a great one.

    I have a product. Now what?!

    Hi that looks very interesting. However I was wondering if "Annopad can also export you notes, allowing you do easily print important items." would read better as "Annopad can also export your notes, allowing you to easily print important items."

    Ok. I'm now 100% convinced that at least some of this works. So basically I'm going to start implementing the changes on my other book bit by bit to see which method has the biggest impact. I'll keep you posted. If someone uses one or more of these techniques and sees some impact could you let...

    Hi. Basically yes. The market for learning English in Japan is basically: everyone, but the books are full of Japanese explaining everything. I have a book a bit like that but it's a lot of work and while people in general like it it's not that effective to learn a language. So with this one I...
