The idea that helps Authors and Publishers
Authors and Publishers want to simplify the manuscript editing and publishing process. However, they can't get it because they struggle to find an efficient tool for collaborative manuscript editing and book publishing.
Therefore, they need to use your solution, e.g. WritePublish.

The platform offers features for real-time editing, version control, and distribution to various ebook platforms. Of course it is much better than the stuff from Reedsy, or Draft2Digital!
How to find Authors and Publishers
You can get insights about the pain points of authors and publishers if you listen to them carefully, either in person or online. Listening online is much easier because you need not ask them for a customer interview but you can observe them talking about their problems, out there in their natural habitat. They won’t even notice that you are there, watching and listening to them.
The process, step by step
One process that we can totally recommend is this:
- Find out where authors and publishers hang out (Reddit, Mastodon, etc.)
- Read what problems they talk about, and how urgent they are to them. (Did they try any solutions, yet? Did they spend money on anything, yet? Did they even cobble a homegrown solution together?)
- Enter the conversation: Help them with tips, ask more about their situation and why they are in pain.
- If you find recurring questions or pet peeves of authors and publishers, create some helpful content for them (e.g. a blog post, a podcast episode, or a video) and share it with them for free, in the same conversations. They will be delighted.
- At the end of the blog post, invite them to use your solution: WritePublish - Manuscript Editing and Book Publishing Platform.
