I have started writing on a genre, but the problem is that I want to write as many as 15 chapters, but am stuck at the 8th chapter.

we've been through that.
Use Google to get points.
If the chapter is on how to invest ,

Then use Google to get an article and read the same topic. From what you read, note important points and rewrite it in your own words in msword.
You can not carry everything in your head. Tap anointing

alakara:

Am stuck at writing a non-fiction book.

1. Anyone advise us how we can become a bestseller?
2. Ask any questions wherever you are stuck?

Will drop answers shortly

Leave tot author=spiritualmubi post=113615705]Hello, good day Nairalanders.
I'm presently in a critical situation in my life. I really need your advice on this situation of mine.
I just feel like a looser, I am an undergraduate studying botany. In 300 level due to me deferring a semester due to a Relapsing illness (schizophrenia). I suffered from brain fog when I resumed school after the relapse and lock down. I'm 26 and I don't have any skill and don't have a degree at hand.

The reason for this is not far fetched because till date I still harbour that anger for what my Dad has done to me. When I was in Jss1 in a very good school and also doing well, he removed me and my younger brother from school and took us to a Quran memorizing Islamic school following the advice of a hausa colleague of his in his place of work.

We memorized the holy book but for me it came with it's price, I didn't even have solid memorization of the Quran self to speak. I went through hell in those two years memorizing the holy book, ranging from mental, physical and spiritual challenges, which I believe triggered the schizophrenia am suffering from today. After the graduation ceremony from the Islamic school he enrolled me in conventional secondary school into Ss1 which means I never attended Jss2 and Jss3. Had episodes of relapse of the ailment am suffering from after then twice apart from the first occurrence after my memorization of the holy book. I believe that if I was allowed to continue my education back then I would have been a graduate by now and even working and must have gained financial independence
Presently my mum brought the idea that we should meet a Sheikh who is a saint of God, regarding my issue of not being able to read, assimilate let alone retain, the Saint said that I should defer a session, that is a year so that he will pray for me that there is a good spirit standing beside me that needs to be dissolved into my system, which (the spirit) is as a result of a spiritual book, litanies I read that my father gave me.

So now I don't have any skill, my Father has no source of income whatsoever, he doesn't earn any salary, he only has ND, the money we are even feeding on presently is a contribution by BOT of a foundation he founded to buy a house for its Islamic school.

I started learning photography during the lock down but left it for no tangible reason. My Dad insisted that I should learn shoe mending, that it is easy to learn and get small small change, I started it but had to leave it when I faced the challenge of sowing and polishing shoes, I don't just like the work.

Presently am been pressured by my parents to get something doing to be getting money because even to eat once in a day is a problem for us now, and to buy the drug am living on which enables me to sleep but believe me I'm at loss of what to do, should I go back and learn photography as a skill or should I find a job, like a company that can employ an Ssce holder. Cos the former needs start up fee and also need time for me to master it before talking of getting money from it.

Secondly, regarding my academics, I am thinking of using this one year or two years which I would defer to gain financial independence and mental well being, then rewrite jamb and apply for my original passion which is medicine and surgery but hmm, am already in my late twenties, so please Nairalanders help a confused soul.

Sorry for the long write up, just had to say everything.
Thanks, any contribution is welcomed I am really in a critical situation.[/quote] leave the anger you have. I know it's not easy but that's the first place to start healing.
2. You are very wise , you will find the truth Soon. Keep searching for it. There are no two good spirits just one. Keep seeking for the truth.

3. Finally, your health first. Help your self. if you think you need to help your family now , you are wrong.
When you get yourself, you can help them later.
4. Lastly, find a good friend and live with. From there, get anything doing to fend for yourself. You will meet the truth Soon and he will set you free.
All the best.
PS. Leave the anger and move on

silvoice:
For that fellow talking about page count or page size and number of words:

1. Ebooks don't have page numbers
2. The page you see is Kindle page size which is insignificant because someone reading can turn your 14 points font to 20 points on his or her device, for instance, and will have more pages, and vice versa.

So concentrate on good content rather than the book's number of pages and sizes.


Number of pages, Page sizes, and fonts are only useful in paperback because they are printed the way you present it, that is why you are advised to submit a PDF file for the paperback.

thanks for the tip

No bank details because the site is not accepting Nigerian bank account.


Or should I abandon it and open another account using my real details?

Cc: Mk82

you can't do online biz with Nigerian bank account. You need payoneer account for it.

As per the nickname, better to use your real name for account purpose

Directway:


Ok. I used a nickname to register on Amazon instead of my real full name. Will that affect any process including payment in the future?

if the bankname you put. Carry the nickname no problem

This is a plastic pack. Won't it melt when the batteries become hot?

I have stronger plastic.

But I'm still using this because I wrapped battery pack with insulator tape at top and bottom.

Strong plastic are preferable though.

You can start with 300 dollars then the advantage are many.

E.g open account on other sites like ingramspark. Etc. Just guess.

Penboy:


More profitable ke?
Sales have dropped this period o

you won't understand me.

I'll just say the reason why sales haven't dropped is because kdp keeps closing account of so many publishers.

That's why.

adeolaben:


Please I have a question about :::: words count & number of pages...

For example, if I have a Mword document with 20,000 words, and I want to format it for kdp upload....what are the best formats?

For a 6x9" Non-fiction Paperback

1 - Font type and sizes

2 - How many pages do you think 20,000 worded write-up will end up giving?

go and size up the page. Any amount of words posted there will give you a good number of pages as long as you have sized it.

For font size, 14 is best.
But choose a popular or good font.
Times New Roman
Palatino
Baskerville
Etc.

AmalaBandit:

It's 5500 words

Only uploaded for kindle version I haven't done for the paperback yet.
Someone said it's because I uploaded it in docx format, I don't know

just go to page setup and choose page size 6×9.

If you want more, then convert it to epub online.

Use Google to get good site for this.

AmalaBandit:

It took 60 days

alright thanks

byrron:


You're very welcome.

Amazon KDP can wake up one morning and demand for the copyright of all books published on their platform.

Someone can also copyright the work of another author and claim it is their work and the original author can't prove the work belongs to them without a copyrighted proof.


It is highly advisable to start getting one's self-published books copyrighted since no one can predict the future.

how long will it take to get the license as in your own please?

byrron:


$85 for 10 unpublished works but I paid $65 / book since they were already published and selling books on Amazon kdp.

The standard registration fee for electronic registration is $65.

Electronic applications take between two and three months to process while paper applications, the filing fee is $125 and the processing time is ten to fifteen months.

thanks a lot. Seems. One has to do this for few current and future books.
Really appreciate

byrron:


For a self-published author here in united states to upload their narrated published book on Audible, the platform now requires you show proof that you have the copyright to that book.

I was able to scale this recent huddle by registering all my self published book on Amazon with the United States copyright commissions through the link below.

Visit United States Copyright:
https://www.copyright.gov/registration/literary-works/

The obtained copyright licenses for my books was what I presented to Audible in other to be allowed to uploaded my narrated audio books on Audible.

Audible ACX is a sister company to Amazon kdp and I'm just wondering if Amazon kdp may adopt similar approach in the nearest future like Audible for self-published authors to have their books copyrighted in whatever jurisdiction they are domiciled before publishing it on their platform.

Just a thought.

thanks a lot bro.

Please how much does the group registration for unpublished work cost cost as at when you did yours

byrron:


Though this development does not apply nor affect me since I'm in compliance with all the criteria needed but audible recently started requesting for the copyright documents of your book before you can upload your book on audible and this may become the next future development where kdp may start demanding valid copyright documents in other to publish your book on their platform.

please what do you mean by copyright document.? What's an example of it?

UPDATE
Kdp Amazon is closing account of audiobook publishers who are not from USA.

They will ask them to produce electricity bill.

If they didn't send a usa bill their audiobook will be removed.

Take note.

Hi Eliok, please can i DM yoù? I need your help with something.
