For Kindle authors and aspiring authors only: I've started a community!

The next wall you face after publishing a Kindle book

Setsubun is over, and it is now truly a new year!

So, I've come up with a new project.

Publishing a Kindle book itself has become much easier than before.
In fact, it's not rare these days to hear people say, "I just published my first book!"

However, have you ever felt these kinds of worries?

• I published it, but I feel like it's barely being read

• I'm not getting reviews, so I don't know how to improve

• There's no one around me I can talk to about Kindle

• I can't keep up the motivation to write the next book

The same goes for those who want to become authors in the future.

• I want to try writing a book, but I don't know where to start

• I'm anxious about whether my writing will actually be good enough

• I feel like I'll give up if I work on it alone

These worries are almost always caused by a "lack of environment" rather than a lack of ability.

There are already many Kindle publishing communities.

I used to be in one, but I quit after about three months.

Reasons for quitting:

1. The number of members is too large, making it hard to read everyone's new releases. With over 500 members and 10 to 20 books published every week, it's impossible to keep up.

Of course, it's not mandatory, but the pressure is subtly intense.

On the other hand, there's no guarantee that the people whose books you read or reviewed will read your new release.

Well, first-time authors, those with few publications, or conscientious people will do it, but others won't even offer a word of thanks.

Perhaps they have too many followers and don't notice...

2. Although not a condition, the community assumes you are active on X, and since I barely use X, I couldn't really interact with the members.

3. I didn't feel the benefits were worth the membership fee.

Comparing my Kindle earnings before and after joining, there wasn't a significant difference. They increased a little, though.

So this time, I decided to launch a
community exclusively for Kindle authors and aspiring authors .

Not only those who have already published, but also those who want to publish in the future can join.

By surrounding yourself with people who have already published, your motivation to publish will definitely increase!

What we will do in this community

Basic Concept of the Community

This community is very simple.

Join Kindle Unlimited and
read each other's books

This is the core focus.

It is not a place for mutual promotion.
It is not a place to force reviews.

It is strictly

• a place to read each other's books

for that purpose.

Specific Activities

• Introduce and share members' Kindle books

• Read each other's books using Kindle Unlimited

• Exchange information on writing and publishing

What I want to emphasize in particular is
the experience of reading books from an author's perspective.

By reading others' books,

• ingenuity in structure

• readability

• impressions of titles and covers

and other perspectives you might not notice on your own will naturally be acquired.

In this community,membership in Kindle Unlimited is a requirementfor participation.

There are three reasons for this.

1. To minimize financial burden

If you buy a book every time, honestly, it won't last.
With Kindle Unlimited, you can read multiple books without worrying about additional costs.

The fact that a relationship of "mutual benefit" is easily established is also a major advantage.

2. There are benefits for both authors and readers

For the author side,

• Increased opportunities to be read

• Potential for revenue (KENP) through pages read

For the reader (= other author) side,

• Gaining practical learning

• Applying it to your own writing

It's not one-way; I wanted to create acirculating system.

3. To create an environment that is easy to sustain

A "community that gets excited once and then ends" is meaningless.

By making Unlimited a prerequisite, you create a
foundation that allows you to continue comfortably for a long time.

Who this community is for and who it is not for

Who it is for

• Those who have already published a Kindle book

• Those who are seriously thinking about publishing in the future

• Those who have an attitude of learning from others' work

• Those who are not good at working silently alone

• Those who want to continue their author activities long-term

Honestly, people who are not a good fit

• People whose only goal is to 'collect' reviews

• People who never read other people's books

• People who feel dissatisfied if they don't see immediate results

This community is for
those who can enjoy steady, incremental progress.

It may not be a good fit for those looking for quick fixes or magic know-how.

What you get by participating (benefits and points to note)

Main benefits

• Increase KENP revenue by reading each other's books

• Covers not just new releases, but existing books as well

• Reviews are strictly optional (as making them mandatory is too much work)

• You generally don't need to promote books in articles, etc. (as that requires significant effort)

• You can make fellow author friends

The biggest benefit is
the feeling that 'you are not alone'.

More than numbers or know-how, this
is a great support for continuing your author activities.

Disadvantages and points to note

• There is no guarantee that sales will increase immediately

• A minimum amount of time is required for reading and interaction

• There is a possibility that you may not fit the community atmosphere

That is precisely why,
rather than "just joining for now,"
please prioritize whether you can resonate with the purposeof the community.

To ensure your author journey doesn't end as a lonely task

Kindle publishing is a world where
it is harder to continue than it is to start.

The difference between those who can keep going and those who quit along the way
lies more in their "environment" than in their talent.

• Having people who will read your work

• Having peers you can talk to

• Having a place where you can learn together

This community is a place where we can cultivate such an environment together.

As a first step

If you feel like, "I don't want to write while struggling alone anymore,"
then this community will surely be helpful to you.

The membership currently being offered is 500 yen per month.

Participation requirements:

1. Being a Kindle Unlimited subscriber. 2. Someone who has published a Kindle book or wants to do so.

Joining is simple.
