I had a dialog the opposite day with an writer — let’s name him James — who had simply completed his debut novel.
He was happy with it, as he must be. It was the product of late nights, early mornings, and extra espresso than any human ought to eat. I had an analogous expertise final yr once I self-published my first novel.
The quantity of hours that went into it nonetheless astonishes me.
However once I requested him about his publishing plans, he waved a dismissive hand. I had by no means seen him act that manner earlier than.
“I’m not going to place it on Amazon,” he mentioned. “Self-publishing on Amazon is a useless finish.”
I almost choked on my drink.
“What about on Kindle?”
“Nope,” he declared, “not there both.”
I needed to maintain my tongue for a second. I used to be able to reply with a number of expletives, adopted by an admonishment of his resolution.
As a result of, frankly, James was useless improper.
And from somebody who’s promoting their e book on Kindle, I can affirm how improper the choice is.
