/lit/ - Literature

Here is all you need to know about writing.

>Watch some Brandon Sanderson lectures on writing
>Pick a few of the books from the genre you want to write in that you enjoy
>create an original piece of work
>advertise the book on amazon with money (yes, you will not succeed unless you pay up, get over it. 1,100 books a day published to amazon)
>profit from your hard work
>write next book

This is actually how you'll do well, there's no secret sauce, it's hard work and being realistic.

Also, if you pick a genre like lit rpg where the best selling book is ranked 776,000+ (6 sales a month) in paperback sales, don't be surprised that you don't sell more than 5 books.
