To focus on his story, he quit his job, which was quite the leap of faith for him to take at the time. At the time he wrote the book, he was working a day job, but on his breaks, wrote his story. Once he had some information about self-publishing, he started writing the novel. Taylor also looked into what it would take for him to publish the book on his own, before writing the book.
Taylor started putting things together, jotting down some notes after he awhile, he started thinking that he had what would make an interesting story line. He got the idea for the story from a dream that he had one night while he was sleeping. At first, his goal was that the novel would sell just one thousand, and felt that it was an achievement just having a book published. Not bad for someone that almost failed an English class and needed a private tutor so that he could pass the class. Note to readers: this is not the author Billy Taylor that wrote “Thieving Weasels” or “Based on the Movie”.Ī little over two months after his first novel (which is called “Just Friends”) came out, in the year 2016, the novel had sold over 25,000 copies. He also posts updates or talks about the books to generate buzz for the novels as he is in the various stages of releasing the book (either writing, about to release, or as the cover art is getting finished). These were mostly young women who follow his tweets. He also self-promoted the book on his own personal Twitter account, which worked wonders for sales of the novel, as most people who found out about the book, did so because of his selfies with the book.
Author Billy Taylor (who is from Ecclesfield and lives in London, England) is self-published.
