Re: Who Said It's Hard To Sell Fiction On The Kindle

Re: Who Said It's Hard To Sell Fiction On The Kindle

Then first one, I paid someone on Fiverr . . . and it came out absolutely horrid, so I ended up redesigning it myself. I know that a lot of people recommend finding people to do ecover design on...

Re: Who Said It's Hard To Sell Fiction On The Kindle

I did a lot of edits on the first novelette that I published. Usually they had it up in 24 hours or less. The second novelette I published took the whole 48 hours.

Re: Who Said It's Hard To Sell Fiction On The Kindle

Re: Who Said It's Hard To Sell Fiction On The Kindle

I'm not sure of who you are speaking, but I plan on employing a similar strategy. If you're not well known, I think that starting out at 99 cents is almost essential to gain buyer interest,...

Re: Who Said It's Hard To Sell Fiction On The Kindle

After reading all of that, it seems like you'd be better off publishing with Lightning Source, but the cost of purchasing ISBNs and what not would make CreateSpace the cheaper option of the two,...

Re: Who Said It's Hard To Sell Fiction On The Kindle

Finding a publisher is a real pain, especially for fiction novels. My dream career is to be a fiction writer, not even a super famous one, just enough to pay the bills so that I can do what I love...

Re: Who Said It's Hard To Sell Fiction On The Kindle

I just worry that the price they charge (pre my commission) for a 32 page novelette is a bit more than most people would be willing to pay. With $0 commission selling it through Amazon on...

Re: Who Said It's Hard To Sell Fiction On The Kindle

It's young adult paranormal fiction and yes, there were no reviews. It's literally only been published for a few days.
