You must be wondering what the title of the post meant. Yes, it is still related to desktop publishing of books. There are some authors who think ‘just business’ when they publish on Amazon Kindle. Some authors have just designed a business model that has just produced books at lightning speed and increased the number of books in the portfolio for them to make money and get rich fast. They would have simply uploaded their books to the platform just because of sheer numbers and with no passion or interest in writing. They have used ‘ghostwriters’ and created little e-books on random topics and uploaded them to earn money. While there is no mistake in having ‘ghostwriters’; There is definitely a problem with having too many poor quality books with higher prices.
Readers are smart, they would clearly understand if they came across a poor quality book and never made the same mistake again. They would never buy that book from that publisher / author. But if you are using multiple names, it can get tricky. Either way, long-term commitment is necessary in order to build a successful career as an author. While in the short term you may see some money flowing in, there is no credibility as an editor / author in the long term. Therefore, it is advisable to follow the ethics of writing in the world of desktop publishing. This will also allow writers career dreamers, noble writers who are passionate about presenting their first writing assignment in front of readers.
Quality always beat quantity in many areas, not just writing. When the Amazon publication began five years ago, many authors breathed a sigh of relief. Sincere and passionate authors who have faced various rejections from the traditional publishing world have experienced the joy. And they have published their books themselves and been successful along the way. They remained like those great passionate authors and grew over time with both success and joy.
On the other hand, there are many publishers that have uploaded books, rather short and low quality books, since they found a system that can be used as a business and of course profitable. Attitude and “get rich quick” plan. It definitely brought them success, but it was short-term. His books were sold the first weeks or months and they were denied. It’s simple, as long as the authors put their zeal, heart, and passion into their manuscript or work, success will surely come to them. For others, who simply view desktop publishing as a way to make money, it can be difficult in the long run.
Success comes with producing quality books that come straight from the author’s heart and soul! Happy writing !!!
