Writers
The process of writing to publishing a book, whether fiction or non-fiction, is a very long process. Just imagine, from research, drafting, editing; arranging the layout of the writing, choosing the cover, to marketing the book, all must be passed so that the work can reach the hands of readers.
In fact, before arriving in the complete form of a book, the process of making it also has a selling value, you know! Below are some general methods or ideas that writers can use to work on KaryaKarsa.
Access to drafts
The drafts shown could be unfinished texts so that potential readers can give their opinions, or a library of old texts. Meilinda Wandhani is one of the creators who offers old works that are unfinished, but are completed in KaryaKarsa.
Additional material not available in the book/blog
Sometimes not all stories, articles or information can be included in the end of the book. Or also extra parts of the stories that are most requested by supporters. As done by revelrebel - she added extra parts of stories that have been completed and most read on other platforms.
Exclusive content
Exclusive content can be, for example, short stories, entire series, or even complementary materials to your writings, such as alternate covers, cellphone wallpapers, and so on. Mellisa Anggiarti, one of the creators who offers works that are only available on KaryaKarsa.
Using supporters' names in the story
Fans who pay for certain support bundles can request their name to be used in subsequent texts (how this is done is up to you, of course).
Q&A
You can hold a Q&A session via live chat or video call at a specified time, only for certain package supporters. For example, Adimas Immanuel opens a 1-on-1 Q&A session package for one hour.
Thank you messages on your book or website
Fans who support a particular bundle can be mentioned in the book/webpage, or simply be mentioned on your Instagram account.
Letters from a book's character
This is interesting for the creators of fictional stories. There are fans who like certain characters in the your books, so they will be very happy to receive a "letter" from that character.
Fan collaboration/participation in the story plot
You can open a poll or open forum for discussion of the next storyline of your short story or book. Faizal Reza, in several of his short stories, invites followers on social media to participate by ordering the names and characters of the characters.
Sneak peek
Fans can see upcoming content before it hits the market - not necessarily the book itself, but also artwork and so on. Like what Shujinkouron offers in his bundles.
