Updates on the wild and perilous ride!
Hi Folks...well it's an interesting ride, isn't it? As many of you know, I was originally published by the PSP (I won't say the words...if you're interested you can look it up for yourselves!) The royalties were quite low, but I was so grateful to be published I thought what the heck, especially since I held the exclusive rights to both books. Well, I found out that that publisher owned the "non"-exclusive rights to the same pieces of work!
So, having no other choice, I took both novels Indy. I am having a blast- promoting my butt off and watching the books climb the charts. I am enjoying the ability to go to my own dashboard, set the price lines, take it free, buy my own art- it's fun.
My advice to you... Before you sign on to any publisher, big or small, read the fine print! Don't be the starry-eyed noob that signs the better part of your royalties away forever.
The good news? The Hunt, and Story Time have been selling in the 20 to 50 thousand range since I went INDY as opposed to the 300,000 list range-that translates into about 4 books a day sold.
I hope that some of this show and tell has been interesting and of use to those of you who are new to the game and are wondering where to go now that your baby (book) is ready to hit the presses. I welcome any comments, or questions. Nel (the NOOB) Jeppsen
