      Maybe not. To write something so full of life, it would help to learn about people's hearts and minds. Engaging with the masses is a good way to learn about the human condition, instead of just observing like a student in the back of a classroom.
      Of course, to assess the quiet of nature and serve it as your muse is just as good.

      Poetry is such a beautiful talent. To put feelings in just a few sentences instead of a paragraph is a talent in itself🏃‍♀️

    Hey! How do you organise your poem writing? Do you have any tips? Like If I should use one document for the different topics I write about, or one document per poem, if there are any good apps for organizing etc.

    I have a list of poems I've written over the years, but I don't know how I'd structure them into an e-book. They're all on random topics, is there anyone who could give me some pointers?

    • @riak.4478
      @riak.4478  3 роки тому +22

      That’s a really good question. I did a similar thing with my poetry book. I had a collection of poems I’ve written over the years but had trouble structuring them and tying them together in a meaningful way. What I ended doing what making a sort of metaphor tht encompasses the book. My metaphor was pastel skies. The book was dividing into three parts which were thunderstorm (dark pastels), blue skies (bright pastels), and starry nights (the canvas). I took all my more sad and angry poems in the first section, my hopefully poems in the second section, and my imaginative ones in the last one. As the reader is reading the book they are collecting diff pastel colours to create their own pastel skies with their emotions. Find a small similarity between some of ur poems and find a creative way to string them together by making ur own metaphor or storyline tht flows thru the book

    I have kind of a dumb question: I drew up my cover, and I've perfected it, but I'm confused on how to size it. Is there a website that I can add a spine/size so I can upload it to KDP? I tried to put it in their maker but it was so tedious :s Thank you.

    hey ria, for my table of contents, do you recommend I make it manual or is it fine I use the option on word to make it when submitting for publishing? if I use the word option then the titles become sort of like a hyperlink where if you click it then it takes you to that page, and the page numbers align better. when I try to do it manually I somehow cant align the page numbers that well.
    also, at the end of my manuscript, do I have to do a page where I write 'END?' because I know people who write fiction and non fiction usually do this.

I heard that you can’t really make a living or a lot of money from poetry so I always procrastinated but poetry is my passion and I love to write! I’d appreciate it if you can give me some tips? Thank you! 😊

    Thanks for this video! I am wondering, for each book that gets sold on Amazon, what percentage do you get to profit off of and what percentage of the money goes to Amazon?

    • @riak.4478
      @riak.4478  3 роки тому +3

      Thats a good question. The downside to selling on Amazon is that they do take 60% of your profit. It's a nice option for self publishing when starting out and the greater you set the price, greater the profit. I hope that was helpful

    Loved your video thanks. I'm thinking about self publishing my first book on poetry. What I'm confused about is buying your books in bulk, and then selling them to other venues. Can you give me and example of this? What other venues? Is this like being a door to door salesman or would you sale to the people requesting them from amazon?
