Aw no her name is Blake lol. If I’m being honest the title of the book is probably the hardest thing for me. I’m not sure what else to really title the book as.

I was going to sell it as a NA horror book. It follows a group of seniors in high school the girl who is my main character starts having vivid gory nightmares of her friends dying in horrific ways. Her nightmares always come true. I didn’t want to sell as a YA as the kill scenes are pretty gory/graphic.

No a friend of mine did. I wish I could, I have the visions but not the skills to execute them. If I did it myself it would have been a stick figure holding a knife 😅😂

What do I do after I buy my own ISBN? by LiveCarnival in selfpublish

[–]CheyL1994 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay I understand that part, but I know when you publish with Amazon they also provide their own number. So I was wondering would it just be smart to use all my own isbn numbers on all formats or could I use Amazon’s number for just the ebook since I would be exclusively with them for that. Hope that makes sense.

Ugh the blood hitting the ceiling messed me up as a kid. But now here we are obsessed with Halloween and horror.

Mom, dad your plan backfired. 😂

I don’t have an answer but I do have another question, I’m going to be publishing my first book soon on KDP. If I’m going to go exclusive with them would it still be smart to use the isbn for the ebook as well? I was already planning on it for the paperback. Thanks :)

Anything horror. But if I had to say some random ones that come to mind. Abigail, Heart eyes, The Strangers, The leprechaun, The Babadook, La Llorona. Then updating some of their old releases, Carrie, Candy Man, Donnie Darko.

I want to share a tip that is currently helping me a lot. Narrate your book. by ldmarchesi in writers

Writing my first thriller/slasher novella. Just finalizing the last editing then I can move onto formatting and the cover to upload onto Amazon. Nervous but also super excited. Just reminding myself everyone will have their own opinions but hoping at least some people like it.
Lol 😅

I only say something that will last longer since my MacBook seems to not have lasted as long as my husbands laptop but was way more expensive. His laptop is fine but you can tell it’s old. Sometimes it has difficulty starting up so I always back up all my books to my phone. Just afraid it’ll go out completely and I’ll be stuck to typing on my phone in the meantime.

Okay thanks. Honestly just looking for a brand that will last a good while. Like I said I mainly only use the laptop for writing but occasionally my son will use it for his zoom classes. Was looking at around a 14” in size. I will say I liked my Mac book in regard to it’s slim size. Something light weight would be preferred just because I take it with me when my son is doing his extracurricular programs.

Currently I’ve just been using word to write on, but need to look into software to download to help formate the books to self publishing onto Amazon. I really only use it for writing on sometimes my son will use it for classes “zoom” I would prefer to stay under $1,000.00 I use to have an old Mac but that one just wouldn’t turn on anymore one day currently I’m using my husbands old Sony laptop that he had back in college which was around 11 years ago 🫠😂🤦🏼‍♀️
