Is it possible to make money by publishing a fantasy book without any prior experience? How can I share it with people in an anonymous way by using a pen name? Is it worth it using Amazon publishing services?

>>34526067An unknown beginning writer is VERY unlikely to get a commercial publisher, so 90% of beginners either self-publish or "publish" online. Your work is then available to be seen, and you might even sell a few copies, but you are VERY unlikely to make much money. I am not being pointlessly discouraging. Writing is simply not a reliably moneymaking profession. EVERY professional writer not named King or Rowling has a day job
>>34526067i mean, just write a really good book and publishers will want to print it and market it for you.
>>34526067First you have to build a following by publishing for free on RoyalRoad/QuestionableQuesting/ArchiveOfOurOwn. Then you parlay that into subscriptions on Patreon/SubscribeStar and sales on Amazon.(Don't forget that ArchiveOfOurOwn bans all for-profit activity, so you can't link to Patreon/SubscribeStar/Amazon there.)
