I know that fame and fortune is not very likely. I'm not concerned about that. I just want to get my mystery/thriller novel published and to market it the best I can. <br /><br />http://timmartinwriter.blogspot.com/Tim A Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15901572143459195481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7041804343600978883.post-32904990342342631032010-10-05T13:47:09.244-05:002010-10-05T13:47:09.244-05:00With the advent of Kindle, iPad, Sony e-reader and...With the advent of Kindle, iPad, Sony e-reader and other devices, I have read many articles where it is plain that these types of books are not only here to stay, but are the wave of the future.<br /><br />So, with that in mind, I'm going to try and create a Kindle version for my current book (with my publisher's approval!Katie Hineshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03279118592523922756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7041804343600978883.post-82628468004166050112010-10-05T00:13:57.000-05:002010-10-05T00:13:57.000-05:00I'm working with Small Press and epublishers w...I'm working with Small Press and epublishers which I'm enjoying. I have no agent and I don't mind. It's kind of nice to work closely with editors and forge good working relationships with them. I'm also thinking about some shorts up on Smashwords. There is more options out there for indie, small press and epublishers and I like that.Stephanie Burkhart https://www.blogger.com/profile/16952130018587727063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7041804343600978883.post-73634816746891697762010-10-05T00:09:27.718-05:002010-10-05T00:09:27.718-05:00I'm checking out all avenues: agents (just que...I'm checking out all avenues: agents (just queried a bunch), traditional publishers, small and mid size presses, epublishers, even audio books.

Unlike Mark I don't have any prior novels published or out in any form. For a long time--longer than I can think comfortably about--agents have felt my work should be with the majors. We've had editors--again, more than I feel happy numbering--want to buy this or that manuscript. But their boards have had different reasons for not backing an offer. So I am unpublished and fairly aching for readers, as of now, and as the topic of this post suggests, wondering whether this path is the best one. For sure it's not the only one anymore.jenny milchmanhttp://suspenseyourdisbelief.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7041804343600978883.post-15606724239045472552010-10-04T18:05:49.354-05:002010-10-04T18:05:49.354-05:00I am going to try for an agent and see from there....I am going to try for an agent and see from there.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7041804343600978883.post-62930703958768342742010-10-04T14:12:58.390-05:002010-10-04T14:12:58.390-05:00Up until recently, I considered there was a stigma...Up until recently, I considered there was a stigma attached to self-publishing, but I'm beginning to see that I was wrong. I will self-publish my next book because I want to compare my "profit" *if you can call it that* with books published by small press. Yesterday's royalty statement showing .12, .13 and .15 cents made on POD sales has soured me a little on print...although I still love seeing my bookshelf grow.

Most of my publishers do both, but I have ones that only do one or the other, as well.<br /><br />NY conglomerate doesn't take out of the box stuff like what I write. IMO, their loss. I try them out every year or two, and I still scare the bejeezus out of them, so I'll keep doing what I'm doing. Someday they might be ready for me. Or not. Then again, until they reorganize, I think I'm safer in indie.<br /><br />BrennaBrenna Lyonshttp://www.brennalyons.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7041804343600978883.post-55752504805382054092010-10-04T09:20:42.754-05:002010-10-04T09:20:42.754-05:00My most recent book is with an agent who is trying...My most recent book is with an agent who is trying to place it with a traditional publisher.

I'm planning to move up to a larger publisher with my next series. My Kindle books are outselling my print books 5-1, and my first novel, Escape, has fortunately been Fictionwise-ePress's highest rated for over a year. I'm planning to place my out of print books on Kindle and hopefully audio (if I can figure out how to do it). :)Jean Henry Meadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08146960738692672013noreply@blogger.com
