What's a scifi novel from the last 5-10 years you think everyone should read?
What's your favorite underrated Scifi read? This is Nat's.
If you're a nonfiction reader trying to get back into reading fiction, here are a few of my recommendations.
If you want to make it impossible to put your book down, be sure you're planting an exciting question in the reader's brain. From @nateliason and @nathanbaugh27
If you want to build an audience as a writer, you need to be on THE PLACE THAT SHALL NOT BE NAMED. @nateliason is getting most of his email subscribers completely passively from their recommendation network. And their new "Notes" social network is extremely active among…
How do you outline and plan a novel? Here's how @nateliason is thinking about it now that he's written two in the last year.
The best way to make your nonfiction writing more interesting is through conflict. But don't stop with external conflict. Find a way to make it internal for it to really hit home. More from @nathanbaugh27
With AI making it trivial to create "how-to" content, the best bloggers are going to pivot to incorporating more personal stories. Here's how @nathanbaugh27 and @nateliason are thinking about it.
If you want to get fresh eyes on your book, try editing it on your kindle. You might find that the change in medium makes it easier to spot things you missed on your computer, and make your attention span last a little longer.
The "novella flywheel" is a proven strategy for marketing your novel. 1. Write your first book 2. Write a novella within that book's universe 3. Give away or heavily discount the novella to bring people into your world Check out this breakdown from @nathanbaugh27
When self-publishing your book, should you aim for maximizing pre-sale profits? Or maximizing the Amazon flywheel? Here's how @nateliason is thinking about it.
Curious about what goes into making an audiobook? It's a bigger production than you might think... Here's everything that went into making Crypto Confidential's audiobook with @nateliason
Need more readers to give feedback on your novel? Consider feeding it into ChatGPT to see what it thinks
One benefit of self-publishing is how it opens up doors to new ways to sell your books. Here's one way @nateliason is thinking about pre-selling his novel Husk:
Don't look back when speed-writing your first draft. Editing yesterday's work will kill your momentum and creative energy for today.
Looking for a great read? Here are Nathan and Nat's favorites from 2024. It's a great mix of fantasy, sci-fi, classics, and a couple nonfiction picks, so there's sure to be something here you'll love. Timestamps: 00:34 @nathanbaugh27's agent querying update 02:02…
Writing tip! Break up creative and analytical thinking. Outline first with your logical brain, then let your creative side take over for the actual writing.
Remember: Your first novel is often practice. You might have to write one just to learn how to write one, even if it gets scrapped.
How much do you make from a self-published book vs. a traditionally published one? @nateliason breaks down his numbers here:
Daily word count goals should be broken into smaller chunks. 5k feels overwhelming, but 3 sessions of 1-2k each is manageable.
