Hey wonderful people! Radiant faces and holy auras!
How are you all doing this fine evening? Well I hope!
Yea, I am doing pretty good to, thank you for asking!
Small talk done. Now to the important Question! I was wondering if you guys would be open to me publishing this story on Amazon. What are your thoughts on the options, either KU or not and whether you would be interested in that format. (whether that would be physical or e-book)
Of course, if I do post or not would mean different things financially and story wise.
If I do go the publishing route, I would need to get a professional editor to parse through the mess of grammatical issue and headaches going their way. (I have someone lined up for it, got a friendly discount but to be honest 300$ is not friendly at all )
I would also need to get an amazing cover art to attract readers.Which can reach the hundreds for something professional.
Third would be to game the amazon system. The milestone is 50 reviews in the first month I believe. It would be wonderful to hit that and get the opportunity to get front page.
Of course that's only when I hit my 80k word milestone and hit a satisfactory stop. Probably the fall of Petrous.
Eother way, there are a lot of things I have to consider and would love your input if you don't mind!
If sold on Amazon for a reasonable price I would be happy to buy a copy.
Seems like if you put it up on KU you need to take most of it down from other sites? I don't really use KU since it doesn't have a good way to track where I am on the various series on it.
One thing you might want to look at is if you think you'll sell enough copies to make up for the expenses involved. It seems on Amazon the first book in the series is often sold at a reduced price to get people into the series so without a second book you might have to sell more copies or might have a harder time gaining traction.
I would say that a lot of people can help u for free (would love to help) for proofreading and i think before u go for the publishing way u have to try to post your story on more websites for example royal road and then if u see people interested u can try publishing (by the way u should change the synopsis to me it was not inviting u should change it I started reading because I was bored but turned out it's quite the interesting story)
