Men Can Write Romance Novels Too!

It's really uncommon to find men romance authors in the female dominated romantic writer's world. Like any other romantic novel written by a woman, these novels express love and romance with such passion and pride. It's fascinating to see that some men are as expressive as their female counterparts, when it comes to romance. Their female pseudonyms make it difficult for you to identify their gender.

For instance, Leigh Greenwood, with his gender neutral name has been writing historical romance books in the disguise of a lady author for decades. Leigh Greenwood's original name is Harold Lowry. One of his famous works, When Love Comes has won the hearts of millions of its female readers. In this book, Leigh passionately describes that love is more than skin deep, when a girl falls in love with a disfigured war hero. A Historical Christmas Present, Texas Loving, and Someone Like You are some of the other famous romance books written by Leigh Greenwood. No one could have predicted that a man knew so much about women's in-depth desires!

These novels prove that romance is not just a feminine aspect. Romance is for men too! Many popular men's romance novel writers like Tom E. Huff, Peter O'Donnell, Bill Spence, and many more have created a revolution in the romantic writer's world, which was previously dominated by women writers. One common thing with all these men romance author's is that they all were great admirers of romantic novels before they tried their hands on it. Interestingly, more and more men have become fans of romantic books in the recent times. It clearly shows that men are not restricted to science fiction, thriller, and horror genre anymore. You can find a wind range of romance ebooks written by men online.

Write an Ebook (or Several Ebooks!): How to Get Sarted

Writing an ebook is quite simple, and here's the best advice I can give: Start Writing!

Sure, you need an idea first, but I bet you have one. But wait...before you decide that your memoir will make a great ebook, it's important to realize the following:

Ebooks are generally the domain of "how to" and "self-help." It would be difficult to acquire customers for, say, an autobiography, unless you already have an audience (for example, you have a popular blog, you're a bit of a celebrity in your field, etc.). Unfortunately, a book about your life's trials and accomplishments wouldn't be nearly as easy to sell as a book titled "How to Make Money by Playing Video Games" or "How to Get 6-Pack Abs in 15 Seconds a Day."

So be careful to pick a niche that lends itself to ebook sales. Ebook authors sometimes talk about a "desperate niche." That is, one that addresses problems to which people are desperately seeking answers; that's why ebooks so often revolve around relationships, weight-loss, money-making, etc.

You want to set yourself apart from the pack (there are way too many money-making ebooks...), but hopefully there is some degree of "desperation" in your subject matter. Just ask yourself: Am I solving a relatively urgent problem?

The number one mistake ebook writers make is writing the type of book they love to read. Sad, but true. Even if you're skilled at writing romance stories, biographies, travel adventures, or mystery novels, the chance of finding an audience is VERY thin. Using ebooks to fulfill your dream of being a fiction author may be gratifying in that you get to see your work published, but it probably won't be a success in the conventional success.

This is because if a reader wants to read a great novel, he'll go to his local bookstore or library and pick up something that has the backing of a "real" publisher. But when he urgently wants to cure a burning in his backside, he goes to Google, where he eventually comes across your new ebook, "How to Cure Your Hemorrhoids Immediately and Forever."

Anyway, you have your idea, write away. You just need a simple word processor. Eventually, you will probably turn it into a PDF, and you can do that for free down the road. When it comes time to sell your ebook, you can submit it to various sites that sell it for you (e.g., Lulu.com, or even Amazon), and you set-up your own site.

In my experience, uploading your book to a 3rd-party ebook seller will result in very few sales. I have an ebook available on Amazon that has sold almost no copies, but sells quite well on my site.

The hardest part about selling an ebook isn't the writing: It's setting up an effective website and promoting your book. Afterall, nobody will buy it if you're not getting traffic. For help publishing and selling your ebook (at no upfront cost to you!), check out MisterEbooks.com.
