#268: Publish with a Purpose: Start with a Short Kindle eBook

Published: April 14, 2021, 11 a.m.

There are so many reasons to write short Kindle eBooks.\xa0 Personally, I have been writing this type of book for many years and people enjoy reading shorter books.

We are all busy and we all have a lot to do.\xa0 Therefore, if I can find one book to read quickly, get my question answered, and move on, I\u2019m a happy camper.\xa0\xa0

A short book is easy for your readers to consume.\xa0 A lot of readers will read books over their lunch break or when they have a few minutes.\xa0 Some short books can be finished within a one hour lunch break

The best part about writing a short book?\xa0 It\u2019s quicker to write!

It\u2019s a quick win and can help us build momentum for the next book

The Book Length

A question I am often asked is how long should the book be?\xa0 For short Kindle eBooks, I recommend a length of about 10,000 words.\xa0 It equals out to about 60-70 print pages.\xa0 This is the length of most of our short eBooks.\xa0 However, your book can be anywhere from 6,000-20,000 words.\xa0\xa0
