HOW TO BE A FAMOUS AUTHOR!!!

Well who WOULDN'T want to be a famous author?

It's so exciting!  People ask for your opinion on just about EVERY thing!
And sometimes you even get to meet OTHER famous people in all kinds of
interesting places.

Here are just a few famous authors loved by all kids everywhere!

FAMOUS AUTHORS!!!

So ... how do we do it?  HERE's how we do it!

1. Get a typewriter. 

   

   A typewriter!!!

   Mom or Dad might have one laying around somewhere - if not then there's always the grandparents...they usually have all KINDS of old stuff laying around that place where they live.
2. Type lots and lots of words onto lots and lots of sheets of paper. Make that at LEAST 100 sheets of paper because YOU HAVE LOTS TO SAY!
3. Take all the sheets with all the typing on them to a 'PUBLISHER'.  This is someone who will put all those sheets together to form what's called a 'BOOK'.  Now at first they won't want to talk to you but don't worry about that.  They will come around because YOU are an AUTHOR and nothing is going to stop you!
4. Now your 'BOOK' is published and EVERYONE is talking about it!
5. You are now a successful author and soon you will be on Oprah! She will give you all kinds of gifts and things and tell ALL of her friends and followers to buy your book. 

Oprah & her followers!!! (they are very nice)

There!  You are now a FAMOUS (and successful) AUTHOR!!!

See?  It really is that simple!

Later we'll talk about getting an agent and what would be an appropriate percentage to give them for all YOUR hard work but for now...ENJOY YOUR SUCCESS!!!
