at least half of the self-published material I've read was trash, and I want the traditional publishing machine to exist to filter that out for me.
Liebe Selfpublishing-Bubble: Wo veröffentlicht ihr eure Bücher und warum?
Und für den Buchsatz nutzt ihr SPBuchsatz, richtig?
Ich würde gern ein Stimmungsbild haben, bevor ich mich an die Recherche mache (und endlich die beiden Bücher veröffentliche, die ich schon lange plane!).
Do yourselves a good turn and make sure to follow Author Beware by @victoriastrauss
The most recent post is about #CityOwlPress, but there's wisdom that applies to all small presses:
"there is a kind of alchemical process where long-standing strains and stresses within a publisher...abruptly reach critical mass and boil to the surface in the form of a rush of complaints."
Via Writer Beware: in order to avoid scammers, you must understand how your industry actually works. This post tackles the oh, so tempting "we can help you get your book made into a movie!" scam.
Hey bookish folks, I'd love your help! How do you find new-to-you books to read?
I'm trying to figure out where to advertise my books now that I have a fourth book out ( https://buy.bookfunnel.com/vxvlyi6b0v ). I'm rather unknown so can't spend big $$ but it's hard to know where is best to find readers. And yet, it's hard to have a budget without readers, too!
Oh absolutely. And that's fair-- there's only so much space, after all. Most of the libraries that I've seen have my books in their catalogue only have the digital version, which makes total sense.
We've moved to the reading phase early! The judges were chomping at the bit and rattling the bars eager to get to the books, so we let them in a little early and they're already busy at their reading and sharing their excitement.
Congratulations to all 99 finalists! Check them all out at https://indiestorygeek.com/a/indie-ink-awards-2023
We have gathered 31 incredible indie authors with queer SFF books into a single sale. From January 17 to January 22, all of their books will be on sale at 99¢, but that’s not the best part.
We’ve put together a fun Buzzfeed-style personality quiz to help you find out which of these books’ queer characters you are!
It has always been our hope to not only support each other as indie authors, but extend that to the wider indie queer SFF community, and we’re thrilled to have put together this event!
So keep your eyes peeled on this space and #KrakenFriends , because this promises to be a fun time filled with good queer books.
