@rebekah-elizabeth Hey, congrats on putting your work out there.
First and foremost, Amazon does advertise for you. As people buy your book it appears in the “other people also purchased” section of similar books. So long as you are serving a sub-genre faithfully, this is pretty good advertising. You are absolutely right that KDP ads are not a…[Read more]

@rebekah-elizabeth I believe that the way traditional publishing works is that first you find an agent, who will then contact a publisher for you. There’s probably other people in this forum who know more than me, though.

Hello SE!
My name is Rebekah, and a year ago (next month) I self-published my book on Amazon through KDP.
Initially I was really proud of myself, but now I wonder if I’ve made a mistake.
You see, the book is $9.99, and I receive less than $3 in royalties. I don’t care too much about that, other than the fact that they do not advertise for me.…[Read more]

@selah-chelyah On the novel marketing podcast, they talked about a form of book pirating where nefarious third party companies will take your book and create their own print on demand version, price it lower than yours, and I guess that sometimes let them steal the buy now button on Amazon, meaning people are buying from them, not…[Read more]

Thanks, Jenna! I found the place to purchase them and all, and learned about them, I just didn’t know what others’ experiences might recommend. 🙂

@selha-chelyah That’s so exciting that you’re publishing! 😀 I’m not published yet, but I hope some of the research I’ve done can help you… About ISBNs, you can purchase them from here (in bulk, even, which saves money). And I believe they have an option to buy barcodes as well. But if you’re publishing with Amazon, I think they generate the…[Read more]

Okay, so for those of you who’ve published a book, I have questions. 🙂 I’m planning to publish my first book by the end of August at the latest (hopefully!), and have been researching said things…there’s just a lot to juggle and figure out.
What’s the best way to purchase ISBNs? What size lot did you purchase? I’m thinking at least two…[Read more]

Well what about my book? I’m going to avoid cussing the Disney way (By Jove, Shoot, Jiminy Crickets) but how to deal with fighting. My main character is a fey and is about six inches tall and is a swordsman (guns don’t work at that scale). How far is too far when he fights bees, hornets, mice, spiders and other assorted pests?

I think it depends on how graphic you are. If you describe blood spurting everywhere and guts coming out of his slain foes then…it’s prob not for middle graders! haha
If you just say that he fought it and not go into detail on how the creature died than it is prob okay! Just my opinion. lol Hope it helps. 🙂
