Who Are EBook Publishers Looking For?


Potential clients drop by SkillBites every day to see what types of eBooks we provide to the public for sale. They come looking not for eBooks on picking up skills, but out of curiosity regarding how they can join the ranks of our writers. If you are one of these people, you should know that we, as eBook publishers, are always looking for new writers.

Potential writers commonly wonder if they have what it takes to write a eBook. Instead of wondering, we decided to let people in on what we are looking for in our writers. Here are 4 qualifications for publishing eBooks here on SkillBites.


Professionals Only

We often stress that every one of our writers are professionals at what they do. While this is true, we rarely specify what makes someone a professional in our eyes. To be considered a professional, we want to know that you know what it is you claim you know.

To that end, we insist on seeing what you have that makes you a professional. We want to know about your education, your internships, your presentations, and your employment concerning the subject. If you are creative enough to use this combination of your history to present yourself in a professional manner, then you may have what it takes to become one of our eBook publishers.
 
Writing Skills

Don't worry too much about the quality of your writing skills. You don't need an English degree to write for us, but we do like it when our writers are able to string English words together in a manner that follows basic grammatical rules. If you are capable of expressing yourself without trying to convince your spell check that "y'all" is a viable word, then our team of proofreaders can handle the rest.

Experience Counts

We want to know about your experiences in the industry of your choice. Aside from being part of what makes you a professional, these experiences are more than likely what you will want to write a eBook about. We like hearing about how you have gone through the crisis situations, how you've been in charge of 14 different workshops and how you managed to get a company car for your personal use. These stories often have the meat of your experiences embedded in them, and it is through these that you learned what you will ultimately be writing about in your industry.

Future Plans

Our authors perform best when they have ambitions for the future. Where do you want to be in five years? We want to know what your ultimate goals in life are, and how you will go about getting there. Even if you don't have a solid plan laid out, at least having ambitions tells us that you are willing to work toward a better future, which means that you will be willing to write a eBook about that experience as you live through it, too.
