As for where to place ...Thanks for the compliments. As for where to place comments, I'm not stickler for decorum, so putting it here is just fine.<br /><br />With respect to Kindle Scout, I'm aware of the program, and truth be told it really would require a blog post to get as granular as I'd like in terms of discussing it (and now that you've put the notion in my head I'll probably do one). I think it's probably a good program if you're just getting started in self-publishing, an author whose sales are lagging expectations, or just trying to get a new pen name off the ground. For someone in my position, however, there's limited appeal because I've got to do all the things I'd normally do - pay for editing, pay for a cover, write a good blurb, etc. - only I'll make less money for it in the KS program (50% royalty instead of 70%). The real value for authors like me would be the marketing/promotion that Amazon would put behind the publishing effort. I mean, they've got the power to make any book a mega-seller (and I keep hoping they'll make one of mine part of the Kindle Daily Deal), but I'm just not certain how much muscle they're putting into it when it comes to Kindle Scout.<br /><br />In short, I think there are a lot of positives to the program, but I don't see it as a good fit for me personally - at least not at present. (Also, in regards to Amazon's marketing/promotion efforts, I would be remiss if I didn't acknowledge that they included my book "Terminus" in their new Prime Reading program, so they definitely attempt to help authors gain visibility.)Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05226233798269875346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1965850447775046538.post-84787034766747636492016-11-19T10:37:39.479-08:002016-11-19T10:37:39.479-08:00Didn't know where else to put this, so figured...Didn't know where else to put this, so figured I'd drop you a line in here. I've really enjoyed your insights in prior posts to platforms like Audible and Kindle Unlimited and I thought this might be a good target for your next one as well as just something a little interesting for your readers.<br /><br />https://kindlescout.amazon.com/ Kindle Scout which appears to be an opportunity for authors to have readers vote on whether their works should be published by Amazon, as well as allowing them to earn free copies of those books they vote on should they get published. I'm sure there's a lot more nuance to it, but I stumbled across it checking out another author and thought it was an interesting idea.Brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10460990549465746393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1965850447775046538.post-36854157914428504122016-11-18T00:08:19.033-08:002016-11-18T00:08:19.033-08:00Nice, but seems like Bellua is the type of woman w...Nice, but seems like Bellua is the type of woman who breaks her toys when she plays with them.
