2024: Writing an eBook | AI Agent, ChatGPT & free tools for writers to write quality ebooks fast.

1. New Intro (2023): Hello everyone and welcome to this course. It is to a D2 and D3. And I decided to update this course because it's been a little old. But writing the books and the way to write them has not changed at all. So I never really found any reason to have dated before this in great detail AND to n, and in 2023 beginning, we started getting a lot of traction on the artificial intelligence tools to write. Typically GPT-3 and Chad GPT became a very popular. So I decided that I need to know update this course. I'll also try to include some chapter on AAA rating. You will see a drastic difference between my appearance in this video and subsequent videos which have been recorded previously. So you will see that they were once and I was but now I got more graze it. So let's just dive into this introduction of this course. I'm going to add the oil introduction of this course to this video so that the center radio remains accessible to you. And just to tell you once again, apart from all the tools and all the rating technique that I have mentioned in this course. I'm now adding IGBT and AAB is tools to help you write your e-books. So let's continue and thanks for doing this and welcome to this course called How to Write an e-book. I think a lot of people believe that they have a book in them, but they don't get around to writing it because they feel that the things around writing a book or too much of a hassle, I have created the scores for everybody to make it super easy for them to write a book and to publish it. Let's see what else are we going to cover in this course? I'll begin with describing what is an e-book and then who's going to be the audience for the book? And how will the person sell the book? Then we'll talk about writing the book in detail, and we'll talk about using the writing tools. Then we'll talk about editing and formatting the book. How to select the name of E-book. This is a big deal in the world of e-books, so I'll talk in detail about that and about designing the cover. And back. Then for all the conventional books, we all are used to having an ISBN numbers. So we'll talk about the two. We need an ISBN number or not. Understanding the e-book platform limitations and making it printable too. There are certain people who believed that their books should be hesitant hand it should be in print format and they should be able to give author copies to people. For them. It's important that the book is printable as well. So we'll talk about print on-demand, publishing it on an online platform, and then marketing the e-book, then what kind of profits so you're going to make? And then can you convert your e-book into a series on, Let's start this course and all the very best. 2. 002 ebook formats: in this section will talk about what is in a book. I'm sure everybody knows what's in e book, but I just want to define it for the sake off everybody coming on the same page. And the book is the electronic form of a book, which can be read using an electronic screen device like a laptop, a tablet like an iPad, but a smartphone or a dedicated educator like Kindle on Look. The main advantage off releasing an E book is that one. You get a wider audience because its global it can be transmitted electronically so you don't need to rely on someone physically sending your book across to somebody else. The print books are costly, and they're not environment friendly, and we know that more profit for you because you're a publisher we'll talk about it didn't detail in a subsequent section. You will never run out of print copies, so you don't need to have ah reprint if you have hit the jackpot. A normal man except the platform that we use, for example, kindle. And that also is a company. There's no up front cost, like the publishers asked, for one. Do not. I'm assuming that if you're doing this course, you already have an idea about a book, but you're not already a famous writer like Salman Rushdie. So the publisher, the conventional publisher, is going to ask you to put up some money for the marketing and printing off your book. But in case of an e book, that's not the case. And lastly, that appear the options available to spend on your mind. So if you want your book to be printed, it is they're available to be. So this is what an E book is all about, and let's we want to see that what other religious for? Match off, You know, that's what. Want to see what other videos for Mets off so classically will find. A pope is the communist format for a book, but you will also find not movie and not a zw. These are for Max for Can Do and you'll find pdf, which is the most common. Any reversal? Former. So what does the format mean? You Julia format means that which kind of device is ableto import and display a book off yours, So E Pup is for electronic publication. Heap of is a very common format and all the eye bags iPhones and I use devices. They use people movie, and is it a blue or is it up to three Are listen formats. So all these books can easily be read on reason. Amazing Kendall and not pdf can be read by an immediate Frieda. And let me tell you that there are common readers like Pocketbook Reader, which can act, which can actually display all these former to the same time. I don't think that any of these formats is going to limit your audience to a particular format. You're not going to get married to kindle. If you're publishing on conduct platform or get married to iPad Publishing. Randy put black phone. No, then only does available for all these possible formats. I am enlisting them out just that, you know, and this is not the exhaustive list. There are many more number of for Max very books, but the other ones which are most common, and we need to know that when we are beginning to do this 3. 003 Where to sell: who will buy my book. This is one question I must. Pretty frequently, people still have the impression that majority of readers still read or leader printed books and therefore you books are not that popular. But that's not the fruit e books have made so much of intrudes know that actually, a majority of books are being sold in. If America. I remember an incident from one of the books off Someone sick Mom, where he was traveling, and he said that he had three rucksacks taking to the ship. He was going to some Southeast Asian country for a two month long vacation. So in three rucksacks he had two rucksacks full of books and liberal exactly this personal belongings. I'm just wondering that if he had a candle at that time, he wouldn't have to pay that much extra baggage to the ship people. But that the situation right now a majority of people prefer to carry their books in a Kindle or in equivalent evil creature. Because, of course, it's all cheaper, like you can offer your little book or an e book at a much cheaper price because there's no printing costume who are compared to a book that is being printed. And just remember that when a book is printed, you get only 7% of the remaining. The writers are actually funding the lifestyle of publishers and printers, and the bookstore is not that one. And Kindle Library also allows people to borrow books like they can borrow from the library at a cheaper cost. And they pay you for the books that have been bottled on a paper page model, which actually is particular because the members off the Kindle a library. They get to read it for free while you still get one money. And the best part is people who are buying the books on lane. They can even later in the books if they don't take it on second platforms, and they have the ability to exchange the books. And therefore people prefer bing, so even if they want a printed copy, the Felix A classic and they need to keep it. They prefer to read it online first, and if they do like it till by a printer, this has happened a lot of it, like young marketers, life off. A lot of people have stored them because they think it's a classic, but that doesn't mean it was not offered as an e book. So apart from this, the audience is global, So not. Let's see in this slave harder audience how the global audience is helping you. So what I have done here is I have put in a screenshot off Amazon's marketplaces, and it's a little small for the print, so you may not be able to read it. Read on the names, but you can see it's amazing not in our courtyard UK this UK dot de in Germany, not Heffernan Frantz got years in Spain. Dork, you're like 100 this. I think it's idea immediately. NL Netherlands jeepneys Japan be artist. Brazil sees Canada MX Mexico on again the country the last one. So I'm not expecting you also different this, but the idea of putting it there waas that when you are selling your book on a Kindle on a Nintendo store through Amazon, you can say I want to silicon all stores globally and wait. Your book will be available. In fact, my book is any books at all of it is in English, and I'm surprised that I have had a lot of the Beatles from Japan and Japan is one market, but I have never, ever taste. I have never even thought that elegant visitors, but I get a lot of variety from Japanese weakness. So that's a bucket that I had not talked. I happened, but I was able to. So do consider that lastly, people ask that if I write in people from their Olic Anissina well, you only copyright of the book so you can decide to be child platform one. There are various programs on each platform, for example, if you sell it on Kindle and you want to give it away as library lead. Also, they do us for some time off exclusivity. Do us for some time of exclusivity when you cannot silicon, other platforms for something. After that, you can sell it on as many platforms as you want. But having said that, let it publishing is the biggest back for in the world. And if your book is available on Kindle and that's true, um, isn't that's pretty much all you need, and you don't really need to keep running around with multiple victims. Also, you need not worry about technical issues because majority off this black forms have made a reserve like structure, which is quite simple. You just have to fill in the required. There's no technical issues here. And anyway, whatever the technicals off issues like bitch, tool to use and how to convert it and all, I'll be handling it in this course. Lastly, there will be a separate course on how to use KDP KDP's Kindle direct publishing on. And it's a very, very powerful impactful and, to be honest, if you use carry, but you don't need to use anything else. So I don't have a separate course on KDB, although I'll give you a brief at the subsequent story in this course itself. 4. 004 Intro to writing tools: So this is my favorite part of the course lighting the so I'm assuming you are already aerated. So I'm not going to teach you how to write a book. But the biggest thing in writing books, electronica, your computer's details is which is the best tool to plate, and the jury is still out. So this is the biggest too big. Going on generated enormous words that writing scrivener of my writer Ulysses are linked lift or so many of them so good for you. I'm going to cover each of these tools in shock for you and another subsequent reviews. You will find that cover the tools like why Writer Word, Google Knocks, Scrivener, Ulysses, Text Wrangler and Bad and also the gift. But before that, I want to mention that it's important to selling the Jonah and the name of your book, and you decide whether you're going to have any book or awful cities of books. You must decide that before you start writing, because that was going to help you in London regarding naming off the book and selection off the journal. There's a tool which I'll cover later in tacos, but from this point onwards and cover all that writing tools that I want to show you on to delegate what pages of them. So get ready for those. 5. 004b-AI tool & ChatGPT(2023): Hi. In this video, I'm going to talk about the tools to write. So let me give you an introduction first. So open accompanying started a few years ago to create artificial intelligence which can be conversational with human beings. So the first created GPT-3 be installed in which a lot of commercial tools also came up. But then now they have given a jagged GPT, which will be a conversational chat chat bot in which you can ask a lot of questions. And you can, you can get what the writer wants to get from it. So there are a few use cases that I would like to mention here before we test it. In chat GBT, you can simply ask the artificial intelligence to write something for you. I have written at least one article using it. So my overall impression is that while it's nice, it does not always create a very good product. So you will have to figure out for yourself that what kind of prompts in what kind of answers work for you. Now, the commercial expected knowledge, or DBT, is free to use. It is still in a very early stage. So you can use it directly from the link that I'm showing you, openai.com slash blog slash, jagged DBT. And then a lot of commercial tools which I've also included chat GBT, and they're offering, what they mainly do is they build a good UI that is a user interface. On top of the chat GPT, you can think of writing an article, you can give an outline, you can search for keywords in that sort of thing. But that is all paid. Trade-off, GPT first. And if it works for you, then think of going to a new commercial model. So let's try to add GPD and see some of the use cases that a typical writer may need to use. So this is what you're seeing on the screen. This is the interface of chair deputy. They have given a few examples here which we can write. So what I will try to start off with is like, let's say I'm a short story later. So I won't want a prompt because I'm having a writer's block. So let me ask it for a prompt. Me for comic story. Here when I'm playing this prompt for the first time, you can see that GPT is actually writing a completely new problem. And it has written five lines panel. You can see that it has given me around 67 lanes of a prompt to start a short story. If I like this, I'll use it. If I don't like it, I can say regenerate response. You can see a Yoda clumsy superhero or as managers to save the day, blah, blah, blah. And when we regenerate, it will rate something else. You can see it has given another prompt for me so I can keep on taking as many problems as I want. And this will help me write a short story. Now, thinking of another model where I may want to write that, say a blog article on Venus energy. I'm choosing a typical technical topic just to show that need not do any work. It can even pick on the technical topics. So let's see what does it right? So it gives us a possible outline for our blog article on green energy. So you can see that it has given us 66 outline topics. And then using these we can, we can even write in detail. I could actually even ask it to give more details on, let's say the first topic, introduction to clean energy, what it is and why is it important? I'll just copy this and paste it here. And then let's see what it says. So now you see, once I've got the outlines, I can even ask you to write details of each one, so the critique me a little time, but I'm having this artificial intelligence write a complete article for me. So prompt by prompt, I can keep going and it will keep on writing for each of the arc lengths that it has given me. And this helps me like a blog article. Now, another possibility is to write a poem. So let's say I wanted to write a poem for my girlfriend. Let's see, talk and chat. Gpt helped me here. But just remember that whatever you get from this, somebody else can also get the savory desserts. So I am not very sure how will you claim a copyright on something that she had GPT has generated for you. But it is also true that probably nobody currently will be able to dispute your claim either. So let's see how this thing works out. Long legal perspective in future. But right now there's a lack of clarity. So you see what we have done till now is we have first written a prompt for a short comic story. We didn't like it. We didn't like the first one. So you went to a second one. Then it wrote a blog article outlined for us for green energy. And when asked to write in detail about the first outline, it also wrote that. So if I do it for all six, it can actually write a complete article for me. Then I added up lymphoma as we'd girlfriend, which and it created a completely new foil. So this part of the literally need can also be satisfied. Lastly, let's say I want to write an advertisement for linked in for my course on how to write. And you have to be careful on what are you promoting it with. The prompt has to be fairly accurate advertisement for LinkedIn for my course on how to write an e-book. Let's see how it responds to this. Now you see it is writing. This is what copywriting or something. Are you looking to learn how to write and self-publish your own book? Look no further introducing our course on how to write an e-book available now on LinkedIn Learning. This is this part, I'm sorry. This part, it has thought about it. So and I was trying to just write that LinkedIn ad. It is saying available now on LinkedIn Learning was I loved routines this, our courses led by industry experts in the schools, you will learn valuable skills like these, these, these. So it has written a full proper article. You can see this is a really very helpful when people are doing copywriting work, especially because everybody is not secured debt way how to write an advertisement. So you can see that there are multiple options which it can do and currently just doing it free of cost. Later on, I'm sure some money will be charged, but right now, you can continue doing this. So I hope this particular video has been helpful for you to understand jagged GPT. It is not a very technical thing. And you can just go and use it for your writing purpose, whether it is to get a prompt or come your writer's block, or to write a poem. Or if you do a copywriting work or if you're a greeting cards, if you write, you can even write an email. Let's try that also before we end this video and say congratulatory email, email to my ran on his promotion. Let's see what it writes. If nothing else, I'm going to use this just to avoid the hard work of typing so much. So I mean, this is a completely generic email let it has created and all I need to do is just copy and paste it to my friend. And at least it will give you the impression that I actually took the trouble of writing three-and-a-half better grasp on my writer friends who are doing this particular course. All I have to say is that this particular DBT tool, which is right, no, free of cost. Please use it as much as you can. It will help you doing copywriting work and even lighting actual novels, keeping your prompts and everything. So this is the latest tool. And of course, if you continue with the course from this point onwards, you will also see how other tools will help you, right? So thanks a lot, and let's go to the next video. 6. 004c-AI Agent(2024): Hello, everyone, and I'm doctor Barter, your course author. Every year, I try to add one or two videos to this course to keep it up to date with the times. Last year, I had added the basic introduction of Chad GPT. This year, I would like to add the usage of AI agents so that you can actually write a complete book with the help of AI in an ethical way. So I'll start. So first of all, I will talk about what is an AI agent. Now, I'm typing a few things which you can see on your screen, and I'm also going to ask the AI from Notion to define this. And let's see what it says. I'm doing it live so that we all can understand. So it is given a really long answer. An AI agent is a computer system or program designed to perform tasks, make decisions, or solve problems autonomously using AI techniques. So this is what is really important here, this first line. So this is what I'm going to show you that how you can do this and build an agent to help you write a complete book. Okay. So the next thing that we need to do is how to define an agent. But to define an agent, you need to know what do you want to do. Now, in this particular course, what we are doing right now is we are trying to learn how to write a book. So I would say, what do you want to do is you want to learn how to write a book. Okay. So now, how do we usually approach writing a book? So Usually we think of a books theme. And then we sometimes some writers prefer to think of a name of the book in the very beginning, but some others think of it later on. Then once we have got the theme in the name, then we want to define the chapters in the book, and then we want to define the characters if it's a fiction work. And I'm not a fiction writer. I don't usually do that, but what I define is a list of topics. And why I'm differentiating between topics and chapters is because sometimes we want to have one topic spread over multiple chapters. And then we write those chapters. We edit them and we string them together into a book. Lastly, we also want to write stuff like preface or maybe a postscript, and we also want to design a cover. Now, how does sorry, preface, I forgot to? Yeah. Now, how does a book come together? This is how I have written in my head, but you may be having a different way of doing things while writing a book? So what I'm going to do is, I'm going to show you how to create an agent, which is going to do all this stuff for me. And if yours is different, then you will learn how to do it so you can change your agent. Now, I'm going to remove this line from it so that we keep this chapter sh. Now, Since I'm defining an agent, what is it that the agent is going to do? The agent is going to help me write a book. But even in earlier sections or in YouTube videos, you might have seen that you can do all these things which an agent can do independent of each other. But then the context is lost. And the agent also does not know that whether or not, what is the next step that it is supposed to perform? So we are going to build an agent which is going to perform all the steps. Okay. So we'll define the agent here and I'm writing I have a perfect prompt for myself, but I'm not going to share it with you because it works for me, it may not work for all of you. So we'll learn how to write that prompt. Let's begin and say act as a writer. When the user starts, ask the user for the name of the book or the theme and then suggest a name. Okay, what will happen here is the agent will ask you that you already have the name or is there only a theme in your mind? So if you give the agent the theme, it will suggest you names. Once the name is confirmed, then ask the user if you can generate chapter list. So here, what will the agent do? Agent is going to tell you that for this particular topic, let's have this list of chapters. Once the user, accepts the chapter list, write a chapter. One by one within specified word limit and tone suggestion by the user. Once the chapters are all complete, write a preface. Once a preface is complete, write the blood for the back cover. And lastly, we'll design a cover also, but that is not for the agent to do. So if I have this, this is more or less defining what this particular agent is supposed to perform. Now, let's see, first of all, how does this prompt perform? And then if it does not act as per our desire, then we can always change the prompt and improve it. So I'm going to just copy this much prompt. And I'm going to go to I can go to my own favorite tool, which is typing Mind, where I can create a new AI agent, but you can also do it in Open AI and let me log in here. I'm going to create an assistant from here, say create and this new assistant that I'm going to create Untitled one. I'm going to call it writing helper. I'm going to paste whatever I copied from there, using GPT four Mini. That's the cheapest one right now. And for all other things, it's perfectly fine. So this one has been created and I can go to the playground and test it out. So let's go to playground. And we're going to use writing helper here, and I'll say hi. So you see the agent has replied, Hello. Welcome to the writing process. What is the name of the book or the theme you have in mind? So I am I don't have the name of the book in mind, but I have a theme. So let's say I want to write a book about how to succeed in the start up world. Suggest names. And then I'll say run or command or control enter. So now the helper is giving me certain names. Start up success, navigating the maze, launch and thrive, whatever. Let's say I like the second one, Launch and thrive, your guide to start up success. So I can just tell him that. I like two and I'll say run. It says, great choice. Would you like me to generate a chapter list for this book? For the sake of this particular video, I'm going to keep the chapter list small. I'll say yes. But please keep the chapters list to maximum Five. Let's see what it generates for us. So you can see it has generated five chapter names for us, the start of mindset, identifying opportunities, building your brand, financing your venture, and scaling up. Please review the chapter list and let me know if you'd like to make edit. So you accept as it is. So I'll not accept as it is. Instead of saying scaling up, so I'll say four Chapter five, make the title. How to keep the VC happy. And it is going to recreate a list now. So you can see that it is recreating the list, and now the Chapter five is how to keep the VC happy. Now I can ask it to create chapters for me and write them down. So let's say I can ask it in the order or I can even ask it anything. So let's say I want to want him to write Chapter three, and it is already asking me word limits or tone preferences. So I'll say write Chapter three. Keep the word limit to 1,000. Let's let's keep it smaller for the sake of this course, 400 to 500 words. Don't should be friendly. Avoid jargon in marketing area. And anything else I can't think of anything else, but I'll say provide industry examples with dates and successful CEOs names. And now let's run it. So now you see what it is doing is, it is writing the third chapter for me, which is building my brand and crafting a unique identity. Now, some of the people will say that if everything is being written by AI for you, what's the point? You are not the true author. It's the AI, which is the true author. So I have two things to mention here. One is, it is your book, and you are the one who has come up with the basic idea and the theme of the book, and you are only utilizing the AI to help you create points. You can do the whole writing, but then edit it or rephrase it to suit yours. Or you can avoid the AI for writing the chapter and write the chapter yourself. It's up to you. But the point is, In my understanding, when the AI resource is available, and it's a non fiction thing that we are doing. We are able to guide people and teach people a certain craft, which is, like in this case, Chapter number three, building your brand and creating a unique identity. I can sit on it and keep writing it for three days, just this one chapter, and it will still need to be edited, by English may not be perfect. My spellings will not be perfect. I may make grammatical mistakes, and it will take a long time. Compared to that, if I use this and write a chapter, I will be able to take this knowledge faster to the targeted audience, and they will be able to utilize it better. So think of it in those terms instead of thinking about the ethicality because how I see things are that if there's a resource a tool available to you, not using it for the benefit of the society in general, is actually the bigger crime here than thinking that whether I wrote it, absolutely, sentence came out of my mind or not. So that's my theory. So here's the chapter that has been written. I can simply copy and paste it and write one chapter after another. So now it's say that the end, happy branding. So now I can say, now, write C hater two. So it will start off writing the second chapter. And once we have done this, I'll also show that it is capable of writing the preface and the blur at the back of the book and everything else. Now, while it is writing this, I want to tell you that it's not like it cannot rewrite this. For example, if this last one be open to pivoting, I don't like this point instead of the sixth point about pivoting. Please add another point about and what is this? Identifying opportunities? Yeah. So about networking to find opportunities. Let's see, what does it do? You can see it is rewriting it and it is going to change the last point to the one that I have requested it to do. Here it is six point is network to discover opportunities, and it has completely changed it. Once again, it's my own thought process that I'm dictating it. Then I can I can also ask it to write the blur for this book, which should appear at the back of the hard hardcover they have it on the jackets, but paperbacks have it on the back side of the paperback. So let's see what it writes. Okay, it has written, and you would also notice that it has stuck to the word limits that I have prescribed. And this blu can be a little long, so I can even tell it to make it shorter. Keep it maximum hundred words. So now it will rewrite it and keep it shorter. You see, what is happening is, it is showing something, and I've written the prompt in front of you and I like some of the output. I don't like some of the output. But once I do it two or three times, this whole process would be sorted out for me. Now, what is going to happen is that as you see, In this at the end, it offers to write the blub and the preface, right? So once I ask this particular agent to write Chapter 12345, and I have accepted them, then it automatically does this. So the difference between the agent and a typical just GPT interfaces, that this particular agent needs, that you need to do few things, and that is probably you need to find a theme, you need to find the name of the book, Once the name is confirmed, you need a chapter list. Once the chapter list is complete, you need those chapters written, then you need a preface, and then you probably need a blub. So all the six, seven things that you need, it knows, and it is going to deliver it to you one by one. So this is what an agent does. Now, currently, you can bring an agent in ChagpT, like I have done it. Or you can build it in any other tool. I'm using two other tools also. One is called typing Mind, so I can do it here. I also use bolt. Which is here. So overall, what you have done is you have created an agent which knows all the steps that you need to perform to write the book, and it is going to help you continue writing it. So in this chapter, we have learned that how to create an agent in any AI tool, and the agent knows sequentially what all functions do we need and build them for us. 7. 005 yWriter : in this video, We're going to watch how whitelighter box for you. So let's talk. This is the Whitelighter interface, then, as you can see, it looks very much like any Windows applications. Let's start by seeing how to start a new project. I'll go into the project and say, New project visit. This makes it easier for you to start any particular project so you can see of desert opens up. You can give a name and then you can add the name of the auto. You just basic stacked. Why I don't want you toe. And this is the This is the location where it's going to save the book. Pulled it doesn't exist, will create it for you, and then you can finish and your project will stopped. So now let's see. What's the new project? The predict contains on the left side of chapters where you can create a new chapter and you get your description in a name to a chapter. So I will say, Introduction to people and just say OK, so you can see a new chapter has been created, and inside the chapter I can create any number off scenes. I agreed one more chapter just for the demonstration of features. And now you can see director chapters Chapter one in Chapter two in Chapter one, on the right side to the list of scenes and I'm going toe proceed. Same Indians who is the creator of by later believes that every writer who's writing fiction usually like it from scene to scene so you can have multiple scenes in one chapter . This is also very helpful. If you are a script writer that you are, you want to write you a screenwriting or a script rating sort of thing. But for nonfiction writers, it is not necessary to go scene by scene, so you can just paid one scene with everything in that. So let's see more detail. I can create a new scene, Andi. I can with the details, the characters, locations, items needed if it's a screenwriting part, gold's export, the whole scene or not in the final final file, and then the timing off. That and the ratings off destructor. So there are so many things which everybody does not need, all of that. So let's just create one scene and say this is a scene one off checked a one. Can I conceive it? Or I can see when exhibited Close this pop up window. So you see, I have one seen in chapter one, and it has the number of boards seven, which you can see both on the left panel as well as the right man. I just draw it up for your convenience. The a lot of things like I can actually create multiple scenes within one scene, and then the scenes can be split automatically by the system. So I just have to add some of the hashtags or the asterisk symbols. So let's let's try to see how it books in here when they Dave something, it's I think I reckon this will be a part of seem to in the night type three asterisks. And then I say this will be a part of scene three, but no one s a split the scene on the status. You will see that that part is gone. And if I see what exit, you can see that the term scene has been created. Andi dis contains what I wrote as this will eventually land up to sentry to this is the part offs entry. But you can see that just by adding the S tourist, I was ableto split the scenes into multiple seats. So overall, this is this off religious free off course, and it is the best software available for fiction writers. Thank you. 8. 006 MS word Overview: So in this video, we're going to see how to use Microsoft Word for writing a book. No, I believe that not everyone will have a changed version off Microsoft Word on their computer because it's expensive. So let me tell you that you can purchase You can use Microsoft Word completely free of cost . Go to Microsoft site, create a free account, and they allow you to use a mess. Word in process. So that's what I'm going to do here. I assure you that How do you sit in a browser? So right now, as you can see, I'm in the process. I have this additional Microsoft plug in here, but you can just medically also go from Microsoft website. So I just open over. This is all feet. So you don't have to really perches m s office for this like liquid word. And you can see that a word document opens up. This will be saving everything in my one drive. I can download it toe. Now if I want to open a template, I can open template. So let's see. And these templates are suiting me. So I want to explore all templates. Okay, so when I searched for nonfiction here I got this book title book manuscript, technical collect on the book hours book report, book, manuscript off another type. So what I'm going to do, I'm going to start with this write nonfiction because this is the closest one to writing a fiction too. So let's start with this. Well, say edit. It grows up. Continue. So now what you're doing is you're using a miss word in the browser itself. You don't have to spend any money to get it. And when you're inside on this one, you can just go toe navigation. And on the left side you will see that your entire book has bean listed order. This is how I really like to write a book. I have a book title. Then I have certain things. Then the chapter one chapter toe. They're all headers and some headers. And also everything is the student the left sane and at the bottom you have a pillow with geography. Any internal documents that you have researched Acknowledgments about the auto. So all these things are present there in the document. So wherever I click, I can go directly to the chapter and start walking. So let's see. I want to go Chapter two. I continue this taken to sort of I do okay and you can see on the left say it's already seen sort of statement. And when it say's insert summiting one, which is this, I can say why depending and you can see on the left side is already my own, some healing. And then whatever this text I want to to use, I can use it. So what happens in and this word is that I am able to completely Czech keeper keeper over because I'm a very top down writer. I first created a complete out laying off the book and then I write it section by section. So that's how I wanted to. My progress on this is the way I can do it very easily in Emma's work, completely free of cost. Now, other good things that you'll be able to see is one is the word count left, as you can see, so this word count will always tell you how many words you have done. If you are the kinds who really goes on day today, Whatcom targets and then other things in review, which you want to see. So, for example, the word count will be really here. And you can also see other things like paragraphs and words. There is something going ease off reading. But then that is not not something. I'm going to tell you that there are two things which is Flesch Kincaid Index is supposed to be used to see how easier book is invigorating. And in the systems and earlier Microsoft systems, these were available, but now we don't use them here, actually, with a places where you can just copy paste your level and check out the inevitability index off your book. That is a part of Hemingway Hemingway, which we'll cover later. So now another thing here is you can share this manuscript with somebody and they can give you convince back. So if there I didn't comments, So, for example, you may be right. The spark on a recovered seeing. I need to improve this. And yet this coming will stay here. And a little Ron, you can always come back to this section and see that. What did you want to do? The easiest way to do this is that if you switch it off right now, But if no you want to see Okay, Which was the paragraph I wanted to go back to. Incorrect. You could just put review say, show commends comments will be seen here. And when you click on the comment that Ariel come highlighted, which you said I need to prove this on. Then you can see I did. I'm okay with. So there you you're to convince and you don't really need to change anything. These comments will not be a part off your publication. So your book is safe. The scent proof in language is important because by default serially English us on majority writers in India, they write in English UK on then you can decide you can even choose English India On day, you can use a lot off Indian words also in lighting. So it's important that you choose the right language. Otherwise, the safest one would be for Indian writers, English, UK, or you use English us if you are comfortable not lighting the you in favor. So that's fine. What I also do is sometimes when I'm writing the book, I also start editing the book. So one seventies, for example, Chapter part two eso There are times you elaborating the book. And there are times when I'm not feeling so nice or so creative. So what I do is I go back to chapter one. Can I start everything? So let's say that it dissection. What I do is I usually change it to green. So now what happens is that this green foreign tells me that this is the part of edited and that will need to read it again. Sometimes What I also do is I will insert nine. I don't see and it dude here and this line, I will make heading one. So what happens is in my left hand navigation. I can see a little here. So let's do this Detective here parked once, I haven't spent the next paragraph. I can go down and David here and it is still here. And this will be meeting heading one. Sorry, having one. And now you'll see that everything still here is here. So this way I also keep a track off my progress off everything. The book. So overall, I think this is a very good tool for writers to write. It's free off cost and it gives you basic essentials. So have a look at it. Have a go. Try it out. It's good. 9. 007 Google Docs, Scrivener & LinoIT: in this video. The first thing we're going to do is we're going to see how toe use Google Doc as writer student. So here I have already opened a Google doc in the chrome Rosa, as you can see and we can give it a name, actually, good expectations. Because this is I have a copy pasted and expectations No one by John Stickin zero Now the first thing I want to tell you Just like in work, you can have the same effect here. Like if you give something as, ah, heading one then the heading one Stocks of beauty here on If I call this heading to it will taken in addition towards inside. So all those things which we were doing in navigation in Miss Word The same things you can do in outline in well looks so we can say show documentary or plain and you will see the whole plane off a document. I have actually went in half failures for a reason. No What I wanted to show you waas particular aired on which is very helpful. Xcor writers highlighter I just started. You have to install it from document Dad on. It's not very difficult and you can say stock. So when this writer's highlighter starts, what happens is it has got a few features. One feature is if you have a spreadsheet, envision a second words which you want to use. For example, a lot of people have to use what technical writers they have to use a second number of birds. So those words can be linked to a straight shooter. And it will show you those words are being used here or not and highlight them and in a lot of time to know that And the best part it can do is you can view the stats. So once you save you stacks off a particular document. This is the main area of I I used in. This particular is off. It gives you a good idea of the number of paragraphs in number of sentences. It gives you a total awkward count the syllables and it also gives you a very, very good readability index, very comprehensive. The flesh can get great. 11 is the one which is most important. Then it also shows you that what did the number off a number of counts you're using some very common words. So you may be in the habit off using some particular words repeatedly not going to yourself that maybe your style, but sometimes make a dedicated. For example, In my writing, I have this problem off using the word so I usually tend to start my work. So and I do so with a lot of great frequency, and I do it the same in my courses. Also, I'm aware of that because when I run my own writing, true the word so starts coming on top pair. And then I realized it. Okay, I'm using it to frequently. So here the article, Uh, and off my that is a very common so in there being used the high frequencies, but perfectly all right. But if there is a very particular word which is being used with excessive frequency, which is not such a common word, you can see you can even see the high top 100 was going English Words. So those words have been hidden than the keywords which are, like, in this case, paper or rib. And these were Phillip is were specific to this particular novel. You can see how, without what kind of frequency Are those words being shown here? So this is a very, very good piece of software that I use, especially the readability part is highly important to me. These are all several different in dices for understanding readability. I will not go explain each of them but most commonly used ones are flesh can cure great level in Flesch reading. Ease on. You can stick to these two in the last year when I want to show you is waste aping so a lot of times I do. I stay ping also especially with my phone and sometimes with Google docks. So when I do ah waste aping It helps me my wrist, my fingers in my keyboard I'm going to show you a little bit of work. Scrivener. You can download a free try. Lost triple discriminatory is the one which is currently being used and it is available for all windows. Mac on weight loss 10 and you can use it on humans devices as well. This is how it looks on. And what I would suggest is you can download the free trial and try it out. The most important thing off Scrivener is this cardboard with still for So they're not of writers who will relate to the fact that they do a lot of writings on small pieces off paper, especially. I remember Robert basic mentioning this when he wrote the book that in the Arctic port cycle Maintenance it was the whole book on probably more than 100 with Scott size cards. So if you're that kind of a writer, then you will truly appreciate the sculpt board, which scrivener provides on in this cardboard. You can go chapter, chapter and make your lords, and you can even make a somebody so that you remember which after it waas. But this is one of the truly helpful features off it. So what I would suggest is you go to this site called literature and lucky dot com, and from there, go to Scrivener, download a free trial and try it out. It is it has got excited features different from violator, but by and large, I don't see much difference. And considering that this is a paid software, I had tend to stick to, why don't much more. I'm also going to introduce you to another piece of software called lino it dot com, As you can see in the it was, But you know it dot com actually provide Scott boards. And if you're the kind off writer who writes that scoreboard will extract called Porting, which Scrivener provides, you can use this independent cardboard in conjunction with whatever you're writing. So let's say there are several can. It's called canvases in the Know it. I have my own accountants tree. So I just opened this particular got bored and you can see here that so many off the keys that I could I can just add evidence to G. Yes, to say I'm distinguish, I can choose a color, Change it order so you can see another sticky has been added. So how I work on these stickies is I usually create a timeline so you can see this timeline of a book that I was writing Spree 1933 1934 to 38. So I'll stick the stickies off Evans under these timelines so that I am sure off what eyes the sequence of events in my book. I also write characters down here, so if I have to write character, I'll do a whole character definition here. So, for example, this particular character cargo turn knocked is the one who is the protagonist and then this. Well, Frank knock is the father of one winter knock. This is how I use this particular cardboard. I use it for, as you can see, characters, incidents, locations and terms. And I'd work a lot putting for them. So it depends on you, if you like it any for the kinds who like the cardboard but don't want to spend the money on the carport off scrivener usually night free, off cost and use it with writer. That way, a completely off course cop would will be available to you, and the complete writings off will be available. 10. 008 Editing: in this video, we're going to talk about everything. Your book, the most common mistake is an improper everything off in a book or a book. And in case you're writing any book, you need to be all the more careful about the anything of the book. This is because, commonly, the books which come out in print on given professional editors to edit the book What, no, you book black form is so easy and so common on people have a tendency not to spend any money before they are willing to publish the book. So there is a second amount off skepticism about 80 books that quite a lot of them do not really magic to the quality. Now, in this sense, I would also like to add that one doesn't need to stick toe the conventional definition off a good book. So when I said it in the book, it doesn't really mean that it has to be literally and the prominence to be top notch. But what it really means is that the formatting off the book, as well as common things like spelling mistakes or no pronoun, a pronoun on and literal disagreements those kind of things should not exist. So it need not be masterpiece from a literary point of view, if especially if you're writing a self help book. And I also understand English is not the first language off a minority A freighters. So that's OK, but don't make it a shoddy work. So it's important that we do edit the book now in this particular video, I'm going to show you Hemingway, which is an important oh, which I use for editing online, free or cost. You can also use Grandma Lee, which is a very famous tool, but it's paid, so if you can afford it, use it. There are free blood gins and Google sheets, which I have showed you before, and the best possible editor can be another pair of eyes. If you have a human being where you dressed with the literary capability, then it's best to give it so that he wouldn't be so before we do anything else. Let's test out coming now. You can see that in this app I have just pasted the great expectations Nose was two pages. You can buy a desktop version of this app if you're interested, you know how many? We can also do a little bit off everything in terms off formatting. For example, I can select this and make it board or italics or heading one heading toe. But this is not the true reason why I use having may I use him in? Well, because it gives me these scales on the right side of the screen so you can see the first thing it does is it gives me a readability index, so reliability or great five is good. That means a great five child can read this, whatever I reckon here. So its good, the total word count. And if I say show more, it will show me the local characters and sentences and paragraphs also. And lastly, it provides media stellar cords, which actually mean like this blue one is three and bulbs, so we can if we want, we can change these adverts I can use. I can say omit and it will just disappear so it tends to discourage a use off separate types of adverbs. Then, on this green, one is used off passive voice, which is not considered as a good fall off writing in the current day, although this is Charles Dickens so like, well, I could point them out. One phrase have a similar simpler alternative. So if you're writing something complex like you're no word regarding, you can even use about or off our own, it doesn't always make sense like my 1st 1st fancies regarding what they were like, or about what they were like sometimes don't make the same sense. But there's a lot of help that came in the offers so we can replace, for example, if I want to replace it with about I just say about I mean, as you can see, the world regarding has been replaced by about lastly, the yellow and the red ones are those sentences, which are really hard to be. And as you can see, this is a great for now, since I got the word regarding so great for readability does not have any sentence, which is hard to read and very hard to. No, I will compare this to Scientifics intends that I pasted here, working mechanism off a resident tunneling die or device based on phenomenon of quantum tunneling through potential barriers, right current working character sticks, blah, blah, blah so you can see the readability has become the postgraduate live level, so explore when should be in for it at the most 14. And it has got only two sentences. This one paragraph and bo two sentences are very hard to read. So when you get this kind off a red signal from Hemingway and the readability becomes poor that it's time to tone down the whatever you were waiting off course, you are free to use the tools off anything to which are there in moustoir. Google Sheets on Skin and Ulysses also offer some tunes for everything. Last one I want to say is, Do not confuse anything with for mating because for mating is a part of anything. But it's not everything. And if you are having an e book, you don't always need toe for Matic in a very, very reject Wait. So in the next video, we're going to see how to handle the formatting part of the book. So let's have a look at that 11. 009 Kindle Create: So in this section, I'm going to talk about Kindle create no can do, created a software developed by a missing Kony so that, like, just like you and me, we can bring out book very close to the e book publishing stage. You have already written new e book in any of the tools that we have studied or any other that you like. And now you have also edited dental, edited the book, and now you're ready to almost publish it. But you want to become very sure that over the book, look in the format and hopefully republished. So here is where we will use kindle. Create gloomy it is available free. Off cost from M is its website, and in the latest version, as you can see, there will be a content pane on the left side for where you can organize and never get your book. And now you can create as many types of chapter as you want, and with the right click you can convert, for example, you can create the chapter one and converted with the right click to forward or converted into an introduction prefaces below for low. So all these conversions are not possible within conduct create you can now easy create the front and back matter off this off the book also select Title page Introduction on the Psalter. So all these things which earlier we were designing in some other tools we can easily designed all of them can create now. And lastly, you can reorder the sections by simply dragging and dropping. So let's just jump ahead and see what completely it gives to us. I will be starting a new project from file and then click on this. It gives me several options. Novels, essays. Apparently they start from a doctor or a Dock X kind of file. I can go. I can create the comics that guided U R I can create textbooks which have a lot off audio video or the word immediate things. So here we're going to talk mainly about novels, essays. The others are course by themselves. So let me to the fighting. So I know you create is importing my word document. I have selected good expectations, so now you can see the importance successful. So I just say Continue now. As you can see, it has provided me with a list off suggested jeopardy Ideals, the detector one. Tepito, Lovelock. And most effect, it has done automatically. So all this numbering has happened or medically So I can say accept or reject or I can choose. Selected was so you can see on the left side the bookmaker Escala This is a chapter one and even before this did it a certain area. You can see that this is the predict Wittenberg description. Now if this is the area I want to convert toe Ah, forward I can say can work too forward Know what you can see is that the book has got the title of Chapter one in the text here it can be edited in which in a way, I want I can choose to make something Why? Bone? And if I act the sticks here? I didn't make it a chapter title. So you see, after Chapter one, which just sent chapter one, I have added a new chapter title by was a bone I can can work this to chapter subtitle and it will go and it could become up except the subtitle I can even converted into up first paragraph first, but you can use the drop case. So when you are seeing this particular kind of thing where w is looking so big and then agent, I was here. This is called a drop case. You can do it in most of the everything's off adults, so Kindle also allows it. Then, of course, there are elements you can use, like some heading block quotations, separators, blah, blah and all those things like toe check out this particular software. But what I really love is it brings me really close to my e book format. And how do we really step? I reached there by saying preview. When they click on preview, it opens a Kindle tablet. And this is how I'm seeing that. How will my leaders see the book so you can go back in page on. This is where they see the at the free face. Then I can go to Chapter one. This is how they would lead it. If the form is too small, I can increase the foreign sides to double the foreign side and see are there He doesn't going to see it now. I can navigate here page by page or why see the table of contents or I can go toe chapter title. So a lot off things I can do here just to see that How will my book look Then it is being read in a kindle device or on a tablet. Now I can shift it to horizontal or vertical words. Then I can change it to a phone. So on a smart phone, this is how the chapters will look like. So the second chapter. This is how the because of the book will see in chapters, and I can also what's again see with on the phone It is on a horizontal or on a portrait more. I can also shifted to Kindle E Reader, which is like kindle paperwhite and all the Kindle books. Sorry, Kindle Devices. And here I can see in horizontal More and Vertical War over the book reader. So So why is conduct creates so important to me? Is because hair when I come, I see that the book is easy. Doreen or not what what? I'm aware that the forms can be changed, so I don't need to strictly think that when I write my book, I need to write my book and for 10 off times New Roman. Because he books, it doesn't matter. The writer disease inside the reader is ableto change whatever he wants. Sensible book early, he married in Like Future, which is a very different corn, and I can be the foreign say's, which is a blessing for people who are older and strain on the ice. So when you see 12 it's like really big phone look very feasible to read, but we can bring it out with nine. So as you can see, it's much more readable form than earlier. So this feature off canoe create helps me a lot in deciding where I should spend my effort while for writing the book. And we're a shouldn't because that really wouldn't really get to know. So I don't pay much attention to my form since foreign sizes in north a pack and close it. So the best part off GDP is when I say publish. The book can be exported to conclude create in a format that can be easily uploaded into Amazing Kendall and published directly without any errors. So heroin say publish and it will ask me where do I want receive it the format is about PPF as a great expectation, not keep you save. And you can see that the packaging project for publishes going on and now my file is ready to be published, it said, but gave me a file which is available in my folder. You can see him. It's a great expectations, but keep your fine. And now this file can be directly uploaded to Kindle Direct publishing, and the book can be published. Thank you. 12. 010 Publisher Rocket: in this video, we're going to see how to select the name for the book. It is over most importance to have the right name for the book because there's a huge competition on the platforms for the right name and you're a book should come over 20 people search for the relevant keywords. You can utilize Google Search for free to figure out what other times that people are looking at, and you can also your place Amazon's website for free. But these websites will give you a fair idea about what other terms that people are looking for most frequently. And you should have your books name that is the title and the subtitle In Relation to Attack. You can also add keywords to your book so that it turns up in the search for those specific you were that it addresses. But here, what I'm going to show you, in addition, is something called a publisher. Rocket software, which takes care off all these things and it was, is you with the best name that you can have. So let's see how it publisher rocket books for you. If you will visit my Web site, www dot sorrow, but you're not called. You will be able to see a link to publish a rocket using Rich. You can purchase publisher Rocket if you like.

It also helps us find category searches and use a misty. We're such a mess is amazing marketing services, which is basically Anderson advertising. In this particular video, I'm going to talk only about keyword, search and competition every laser for you. So let's go to a keyword search and let's say your book is on yoga or fitness, so let's do a search for yoga. What it does is it searches for the keyword yoga and lists out the various givers that other books have been using. And as you can see, there are so many like yoga, yoga for beginners you ever met right Chitra and each of them can be analysed. So let's just in like the single word yoga and see what what the desert is. The result is there as a number of complicated. This 22,530 which means they're at 22,530 books, which are using the word yoga as a keyword. The average monthly earnings that topped book in this particular category will be $519. There are 368,000. Google searches Parliament for this, while estimated searches for Amazon are about 255 and the competent of score for this stone is 100. So the competitive score, as you'll see, writes your book for that keyword, with zero being easiest and 100 being hardest. So if at a rank of 100 if your book is called only yoga, it will be really difficult for you to get into the competition. Now let's do some other analysis. Also, let's say your guy in the quest for true self Let's realize this. So the biggest thing you see it is that the competitive score has come down to 15 so it is easier for you traitor. But you'll also see that the searches, which worked within 55 here, have come down to less than 100 here. When the average monthly earning, which wants $519 here has come down to $66 so it will be easier. But the names will also be less so. Let's say yoga as medicine or yoga for pain relief.

Sport is No. 68 which is fairly high compared to the you go in the quest for true self, when the site you still remain less than 100. It doesn't seem that there are much Google searches for this term. Average monthly only for the top book in this category can meet $126. Now let's in a lazy competition off anyone off them.

So this way you can check out these particular four books, which are doing How well are they doing? For example, the yoga Bible is doing averse to just unlearning off $51 per month while the top book is You're gonna top 100 best your opposes. So this gives you a fair idea about what keywords you should use it to get into the market . And how difficult will it be for you to break into the top level off toe competition for you? So this is how publishing rocket helps you once again, if you will visit. My Web sites are about your dot com. You can go to the Link given their impressions. Publisher Rocket This is really helpful for me to break into the top 100 off any book 13. 011 Cover design: in this section, we're going to talk about how to design a book over. We all have heard the face that don't judge a book by its cover, but the fact remains that all books are judged by their covers. So let's see a few tools using which you can design an effective cover. Please remember that professional services to design a cover very from anything between ₹30,000 in India, being able to design your own cover kind off saves you a lot of money. So the tools that I'm going to talk about are going to be Kendra Picks A B, which is a part of Canberra if we use can be effectively Onda KDP. We just kindle direct publishing itself.

There are so many designs available for thriller books, as you can see, and just for the sake of this demonstration, I'm going to choose any one particular out of them. So I picked up The Watcher in the woods and am going to use this template. Well, let's see what you can do with this kind off book cover, which is pre made. You can select anything and change the title, so I'm going to see the catcher in the Rye. Um, we're going to see Ry. Let's say the catcher in the baseball game probably would be a good idea.

I can see the catcher pretty well. And now that image of the catcher is Didn't another title can be made? Writer? Let's say I make it black and yeah, that works much better because in the background I can see the catcher as well as the title is bright enough to be read.

And it is also possible that since Terry there is able to increase the for insider decrees that foreign stays, so the graphic will not be pleased exactly where you had placed it or where you thought it should appear. The graphic will go up and down, depending on the paid. Say that the phone size supporting the graphics and relating it relating them to the words is not a very good thing.
