Writer's Tip

Fanfics to Books, Pen Names and Fanfic Description

Turning your fanfic into a book:

I plan to do so and there isn't really a whole lot needed to be done...well that's if you already written a book/completed fanfic. Money will be involved so make sure you have some hundreds in advance for an editor. Also, look up book manuscript. I will advise you to start writing you're fanfics like that in advance (5 spaces before each paragraph, no line spaces). But, then you don't have too, you can contact your editor to see if they can do it for you.

You can either self publish it afterwards on Amazon on other websites. Then again, you can go down the long path of publishing companies you may be rejected a couple times. Ouch, that might hurt, but if you have a bad book, go ahead. But, keep in mind, they get some of the money afterwards. Yes, money counts ^^

Anyhow a novel is at least 100,000 word count in total, so keep that in mind also. What does that book look like, well Twilight the first book is 118,501 words.

(Yes, there are some books that are less than 100,000 words. According to Wikipedia, a novel is over 40,000 word and anything underneath that is classfied as a Novella, Novelette or short story)
