Technically, It has been a bit longer than a month, but I digress. There was a time in my life where I thought being a self published indie author was "settling". While I would still like to be traditionally published, I'm pleasantly surprised with my experience so far. I feel like I'm actually enjoying promoting myself (maybe I should have tried it more when I was with a publisher). It's been fun to make social media things. I've also really had fun connecting with fellow writers on Twitter (I've gained hundreds of followers this month! Yay WritersLifts!) While I wish they were readers too, I'm still happy to get exposure and help other writers in the process. Lastly, It's been cool to watch sales slowly come in. I used to have to wait for my end of the month email from my former publisher to find out if I made anything. I'm pleased to say that in this one month of being Indie...I've made more than half of what I made last year with my former publisher. Not the $10,000 dollars a month that an author I've been watching on youtube makes, but I guess you have to start somewhere. So let's talk updates first and then I'll talk about what's coming. ALL of my books are now available as paperbacks in addition to ebooks. Limited Truth's print cover was a pain in my rear, but it's all good thank goodness. I have been playing with the prices to see if it will help sales, and I think it's too early to tell right now if it's helping or not. I've also been working on getting my books on other sites like Barnes and Noble, Google Play, and iBooks. So far Barnes and Noble has everything Amazon has, I'm still waiting for account verification on Google Play and iBooks. My cover artist (who is a doll and you should all use her! She does great work and you don't have to break the bank!) http://www.thebookkhaleesi.com/ gave my Squad Treble Series a refresh in honor of being free from my former publisher! They pretty much look the same, but it just looks crisper! Aren't they pretty? Now for things coming up...
I will be doing a COVER REVEAL for book three in the Squad Treble Series on Monday! I did things a little backwards, and I had the cover made before the book was finished. I thought that it might motivate me now that I have the freedom to work as I wish. It's working because I've been furiously typing away! It's so nice to be back in Settontown. No promises on a release date (I have to go back to school in some capacity in over a month) but I'm hoping no later than the Holidays. I'm going to continue to keep working on promoting myself and advertising my books. I'm thinking maybe I'll have a monthly budget for this. Worried that I will spend more than I gain, but anything is better than what I was doing before. That being said, if you do reviews in exchange for free copies of books, I will HOOK YOU UP. Yours in Writing, Kay
