Attention Thailand Writers

There are a whole lot of great writers in Thailand that have not written an amazing paperback book yet. Why is that?

Paperback books suck, that’s why. Thailand based authors jump through ridiculous hoops of fire just to earn $1.34 per book sold. WTF? If you published an ebook you know what you’d make per ebook sold? About $5 minimum. $10 or more at max.

Ebooks make a whole lot of sense -and they are an open market. Writers that express themselves in a style that isn’t right for paperback publishers can write however they choose in their own ebook. Ebook writers can go from idea to finished product in about 45 days in most cases.

Ebooks are shorter that paperback 300+ page novels. And you know what? that’s a good thing.

Do you really need 75,000 words to get your point across. No, you don’t.

Thailand writers that are struggling with publishing – forget the paperback model. It’s going up in flames at the moment and will soon be a bonfire. There are ebook authors selling hundreds of ebooks per month at $5 per sale. You should be there too.

Topics are completely open – wide F*#;($@ open, for you to decide what to write about. You need not query an editor to see what topics they might be looking for. Write what you know will sell.

And, SELL IT!

Asia Black Books is looking for ebook authors now.

Why publish ebooks instead of aiming for a paperback book?

1. Ebooks are a guaranteed product. You don’t have squat if you try to publish a paperback book and fail you have wasted time and effort, and a blow to your ego. Publish an ebook – it’s a done deal. See if it sells. Some ebooks sell WAY more than paperbacks. I gave away a Thailand ebook and guess how many copies have gone already? 132,000+. No joke. Ebooks are hot if the subject is right. Create something compelling about Thailand – and get rolling. You could make serious money and quit your teaching job.

2. Write your ebook as you wish. You edit. You format it as you like. You include photos you like. Nobody edits it for you. The buck stops with you.

3. You need not waste a year of time shopping your ebook around to agents. What a waste of time. You could have been selling your Thailand ebook for a year that you just wasted.

4. Idea. Write. Edit. Format. Publish ebook. Make money.

5. Get paid $5 to $10 per ebook copy sold, not 50 cents to $1.50 per copy with a paperback book.

6. Save trees.

If you are an aspiring or accomplished writer and you want to release your next book(s) in ebook format that can be read on IPhone, IPod Touch, Blackberry, Palm Pilot, Kindle, Nook, Sony eReaders, and any other ereaders in existence – contact me.

Finalizing New ePublisher Agreement

AsiaBlackBooks.com will publish all Mike Fook’s ebooks, and if it ever comes to this – paperback books, but I think we’re not going there anytime soon.

Ebooks are a really fun way to write. I write as I wish. I maintain all rights to my digital ebooks. I control all profits. I make $9.95, not a dollar and some change as is the usual arrangement for paperback books that are published by a traditional publisher.

Ebooks are the future and the way I’ll be read.

Check out Asia Black Books (ebooks) and see what you think. Many titles will be showing up over the next few days, weeks and months.

Cheers.
