You don’t have to be a writer to write a book, and you probably won’t become super famous either.
On social security? Then you now have the time to check out the writer’s dream that you have down-prioritized while you had to do your 8-16 job.

There are several different types of books, and it is important to play to your strengths. Here we will look at a number of books, and look at the publishing possibilities.

Various books:

Local history books
It is entirely possible to create local history books that have some text, but mostly pictures. People love to read about their city. And the best part, you don’t have to limit yourself to your own city, think big!

Cookbooks
Are you good at cooking? Use your cooking skills and take pictures of it. Remember to post it on instagram for a promo. If you are on social security, I don’t remember seeing “Cookbook for social security”

Calendar books
Create the ultimate calendar book and sell it, for example, on Amazon, Etsy or Red Bubble.

Coloring books
It was a few years ago that coloring books became wildly popular. That trend will surely come again. Create the books now, and publish printable versions of them already.

Novels
A longer book with a complex plot. It requires a part of you, but if you succeed, then the reward is accordingly.

Short story collections
Perhaps easier to achieve than to write an entire novel. Do like several authors. Combine several short stories into a collection of stories. The very best collections of short stories in the world follow a theme, or have been stitched together into a narrative.

Publication
You can of course base yourself on a publisher, but did you know that you can publish it in E-book format? For example at Amazon, which dominates the market for e-books.
