Ready to begin the adventure of crafting a short story book? Let's dive in!

Researching the Demand for Short Story Books

First, let's do some research to gain an understanding of the demand for short story books. Go to Amazon.com and type in a keyword related to the type of book you want to write. For example, if you want to write a short story book about cats, type it in and see what comes up. Now, check out your competition by looking at the number of search results in the left corner. If you really want to dive in, the tool I would advise you to use is Self-Publishing Titans. It's a free web extension that provides valuable search information. Once installed, you can enter the same keyword you used before. The tool will now provide you with a list of related keywords and their search volume on Amazon. Look for a keyword with a high search volume but low competition. Additionally, consider the number of independently published books, prices, and the number of reviews.

Generating Catchy Titles for Your Book

Now that you have a good understanding of the demand for short story books in your chosen niche, let's create catchy titles for your book. Use Chat GPT to come up with a few options Based on your keyword. If you like one of them, ask Chat GPT to write a brief summary for your book. This will help you ensure that you actually like the idea before moving on, and you can use this later for the book cover. Save your results in a Word document for later use.

Setting Up the Basics: Book Type and Dimensions

Before diving into the actual content of your stories, it's important to set up the basics. If you want to publish your book on Amazon, you can use Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP). This printing on demand service has no upfront costs. However, self-publishing means you have to do the formatting yourself. Thankfully, there are formatting tools available like Readsy. Readsy is very easy to use, free, and has all the basic features you need for formatting. First, decide what type of book you want to create. Amazon KDP offers three standard types of books: ebook, paperback, and hardcover. Each type has different requirements, such as the minimum number of pages. For example, paperback books have a minimum of 24 pages, while hardcovers have a minimum of 75 pages. Take into account that your book might include introductory and closing pages. Consider the industry-standard trim sizes for books on Amazon KDP and the restrictions of your chosen formatting tool. Once you have the basics set up, you're ready to move on to the next step.
