I will instantly blacklist any writer who uses AI. I know I'm not alone in that. Even for editing cos editing is a skill.

VERY good points. AND in 2024 Chat GPT gives VERY good advice editing your book 20 bucks a month.

VERY sound advice on many points.

Thanks, this was helpful. How were your first three months? It says that you have to have 30+ clicks every month for the first three months of your service. For the smaller authors, do you think that's doable?

Awesome!

thanks!

Game changer 🙌🏻

This is gold. Thank you Sir!

Just subbed ima join in on the next live stream.!

Michael, do you have suggestions for finding genre specific editors? Rather than sorting through all, as in historical fiction over 500 pages.

Michael, I like the way your voice is clear and you actually explain things, and you do not speed talk so we can actually understand what you are saying. Thank you so much Michael for sharing your videos with all people.

Michael, your review is much more helpful than the quick tutorial, and they cram everything into one video instead of going a little slower for new beginners to Atticus. I would absolutely love it if you would do a video for new beginners to Atticus, kind of like a step by step!

Well said!

I am so delighted to see this, your video on dictating my book. I love voice recorders and I am looking for one to free up my phone from using so much space. I don’t want to take my laptop on vacation. I want to record when things hit me pertaining to my book/story. I also want to be able to transcribe to text in Word on my Laptop and IPad/Iphone. What is your suggestion?

That's Golden!

I love the harmonica holder! I have a couple of Sony dictation devices. What a great idea!

I need Scrivener for PC…. I do not have a MaC…

Great video, Michael. That's exactly the way I write my novels. More than 300 since 1997.

Hola, gracias por tu video. Me puedes decir por favor como hacen las personas que apenas estan iniciando a inscribirse en esa plataforma porque a mi no me lo permite aunque si enserisco mi email.

Thx Michael. Your presentations are priceless. And yes i just bought How to Dictate a Book and the Pocket Guide to Pantsing.

Excellent job as I'm a new writer and loved watching how you seen your project from from the grassroots as I'm the same way visually. Thank you

This video had good visual edits. I personally prefer to have peoples heads centred but the visual language with his head on the left is a good choice. It draws the eye

Bit late to the party on this one, but the prices are more than double Feb 2023. Basic lifetime is now $199 (or $60 per year).

You have a fabulous voice for podcasts.

thank you for this tutorial. i write in italian and arabic, do Plottr support any of these two languages?

Thank you chidi anagonye

0:11 so true, so epic (best way to start a video)

I really appreciated this video. I am a Mac user and was just about ready to buy Atticus. Thanks for the heads up. You just saved me $167! I guess I need to get Vellum. Thanks again.

To mention Space Opera without mentioning the Expanse series or Revelation Space is a sin.

Hola I’m in the middle of my first book, but it’s more self help with many short stories within.

I've always written creatively with no outlining and enjoyed it. Lee Child explains how he believes outlining produces limited stories so he never outlines, in his BBC Maestro video series - excellent (similar to the USA Masterclass series) Just ordered the book. Thanks.

Thank you for doing this video. Quite helpful. Plus, your voice is very calming and reassuring. Just downloaded Scrivener today, and ready to work on my first non-fiction book. Wish me luck! Or more importantly, send positive vibes in the direction of my dedicating hours to productive interruption-free writing blocks. Cheers:)

You forgot social sci-fi

Excellent video, man. I really wish Scrivener would add the ability to add a user to your file and that it would duplicate the content they edit with commits (like code).

I don't understand what a bid is in this context. Is it a fee that the author pays Amazon per click? If a bid range is specified, how does Amazon determine what amount to use?

Bro the things they put in contracts!

I thought from the thumbnail, you were that guy from that Hulu show with Kristen Bell about heaven/hell. lol. As soon as I saw you big, aww no. Still gonna watch.

they still have magazines?

This was a huge help

Inspiring. All outlining ever gave me was frustration, so I never wrote a book that way. I have always trusted my intuition, and it always worked out well. The only stories I'm not satisfied with are those in which I tried to steer my meandering walk in a certain direction.

Thank you brother! 😊😊😊

what is the catch? Obviously booklinker has to make money somehow to keep up their site and backend. So how are they getting paid? Skeptical.

It's hard for a non-computer savy to follow a tutorial without having the tutorial in pdf as well

Thank you. I'm a brand new author and navigating how to self publish has been an adventure.

Thank you Michael. A super practical and well laid out video.

Thanks so much for this very informative take. You are wonderful.

Michael excellent explanation. Thank you. I would like to write my first book about my travels experience and about my ancestors in Paris, France and how my family escape from the German army in France. Michael you're the best and very clear in 20 minutes how to use the software scrivener for everybody.

Thank you so much for this invaluable information. I am very glad that this helps so many author and you people are doing a good job here. I am a web designer myself and I would just like to comment on what you've said. In addition to having a website as an author, it is also important to know you don't just get a domain and a website for the posession sake. It has to work complementarily with your social media and blogs. Let me explain. Blogging is a content marketing strategy which idea is just meant to create helpful content as a lead magnet to attract the right audience to the source of the blog, which is the authors website. This mesns that, if the right audience could not find blog content, they might not be able to find the website. Therefore, reduce the traffic on the site. It is more easier to find a blog content than finding other pages on a website. Because more people go online to search for answers to their questions rather than searching for specific brand (yet which is not yet known). Secondly, social media should be made to work hand in hand with your website also either through social media content marketing or paid ads. Finally, after authors have struggled to gain all of this audience and traffic, should they let them visot their website and lose them? Absolutely. NO. Authors should find a creative way to retain and capture their website visitors leads. A good example of what im saying is found on this author's website: johnrutherfordbooks.com Authors can have a lead magnet newsletter subscription form page on the site where every new visitor can input their emails and subscribe to your mailing list. This means that, they are impressed by your works and will like to know more about what is next to be published. So, this is a good way to attract and keep them informed. Best regards to all author. I appreciate you all. aweebenezer.framer.website

Great video, thank you Michael!

Thank you! Extremely helpful! I am just wondering why you are against developmental editing? I have always heard from others that I should look into it if self-publishing.
