Hello everyone. So I've been lurking on this forum for quite a few months now, and decided it was about time I stuck to one business idea and see it through to the end. Been reading a few threads about self publishing and really like the idea of it. So what's the best way to learn, get stuck in and start one I think.
I like the idea of hiring ghost-writers to do the writing for me, rather than do it myself. What do you guys think about this. Is it better to do it yourself instead?
When it comes to hiring people from up work, I post the job and start a chapter of a story of my liking.
And then I tell the people who are applying to finish another chapter off for me using there imagination.
I then pick the best chapter that has been sent to me, and hire that person to write a novel for me.
Doing it like this has worked great so far, it really cuts out alot of the crap writers and the lazy people on upwork. Those being the ones who can't be bothered to send me a chapter that they've written themselves, and still want me to hire them.
Also it allows me to see what applicants have the best writing style that I'm looking for. And doing it like this, Iv'e managed to hire a great writer who's writing style is brilliant, and she really has an interest in the topic of novel Iv'e chosen.
I plan on releasing two novels a month, each being 15,000 words long and eventually increasing the amount of novels I write when I have more funds. Also any sequels to my novels I plan on making a couple thousand words longer.
I don't expect to get rich from this. But I just want to do it too add some funds to my saving for when I travel Canada in 10 months time. Also I'm not expecting it to be an easy ride, I'm sure there's a lot for me to learn.
But I'm sure doing something rather than saying I'll do it is the best way for me to learn.
Oh and another Question I've got too ask. What price range do you recommended I use for a 15,000 word novel, thanks.
