The Harry Potter Fan Fiction Dilemma: How To Break Away And Write Your Own Stories And How To Sell Them!

Writing fan fiction is great. You have a good base from which to start; other people's characters such as those in Harry Potter whom you love and admire. If you can't wait to see them in the next book or film, writing a great story about what they'll do next is fun.

But what if you wanted to write something entirely of your own making? When Raymond started his writing career, he began writing stories about characters in books by other authors. When he suggested he would start to write his own original stories and characters, people just laughed at him.

While it can be difficult for a dedicated fan fiction writer to break away and write something fresh, it can be done - and with great reward; the satisfaction of a novel entirely of one's own making.

The danger of fan fiction writing is becoming accustomed to writing in a rut; getting used to the traits of characters you know and the things that happen around them. So how can one break from the fan fiction arena and become a true author in his or her own right?

This manual shows you how. The first sections offer inspiration for fan fiction writers to take the next step into creating new worlds, how to identify interesting scenarios in people and the world around you, how cause and effect works, and how dreams can inspire one to write fresh stories - and even how to improve your dreams and make them more vivid. By following these tips you can write a fresh novel and be ready to sell it.

Raymond then shows you how to sell your novel, where to sell (such as social media, ebook sites etc), and there's even information on selling through Kindle, including how the essential .ncx 'navigation' file works.

Whether you are a new author or a seasoned Harry Potter fan writer, or a fan of any other genre, this manual will inspire you to break away to become an original author, and utilize the tips therein on how and where to sell your books.
