Show Notes
There are so many reasons to write short Kindle eBooks. 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. Therefore, if I can find one book to read quickly, get my question answered, and move on, I'm a happy camper.
A short book is easy for your readers to consume. A lot of readers will read books over their lunch break or when they have a few minutes. Some short books can be finished within a one hour lunch break
The best part about writing a short book? It's quicker to write!
It's 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? For short Kindle eBooks, I recommend a length of about 10,000 words. It equals out to about 60-70 print pages. This is the length of most of our short eBooks. However, your book can be anywhere from 6,000-20,000 words.
