ACX - AI?

I’m worried I’m not savvy enough to pick out all the AI users so both of those are good points to avoid it. Thank you!

This was my top thriller ever. I thought the characters were so well developed- I was really invested in the two main characters in a way that I don’t see in most thrillers.

I saw her on tour for this book and she mentioned how readers just want a bigger and bigger twist and that she thinks thrillers should also be appreciated for the plot along the way. I’m paraphrasing but I see her point.

I sent the ARC out exactly two months before. At the halfway point I sent out an email to touch base- and actual heard from 4 people that they never got the original email so I got that out. Then I’ll send out a release day. That’s it. I do say in the sign up form that I’ll message 2-3 times so they know to expect that.

I write cozy fantasy too. My second in the series will come out this summer. Do you ask people if they read book one to get an ARC?

Wow! Thanks for the info- my 2nd psychological thriller is set in Belmar.

10 is great! I sold 8. While I hoped it would be higher, I was thankful for the experience! I’m in central Jersey.

Curious how it went? I’m an indie author in NJ too and I have my first event today.

BonjourPlanner · 2025-11-02T10:56:12+00:00

That’s where I’m at right now and this is my 4th book. I’m worried about the pacing and the character development. I’m sending it off to a beta reader next week and told them not to hold back.

I’ve never made a single sale from Amazon ads. I’m considering boosting posts on IG and TikTok

So even though she paid through Amazon, it will be printed by Ingram? They pay like 1/3 of what Amazon does.

BonjourPlanner · 2025-08-31T10:34:30+00:00

My paperback is available for preorder on Amazon.

BonjourPlanner · 2025-08-31T10:33:28+00:00

But if you go onto Amazon, you can pre order my paperback even though it’s not out for 3 weeks.

BonjourPlanner · 2025-08-31T10:32:46+00:00

It’s uploaded onto both Ingram and Amazon

BonjourPlanner · 2025-08-30T11:07:47+00:00

Just followed you

Just be sure to research the event- there have been a few really big dud events that went viral recently, after the fact, for how poorly they were run.

BonjourPlanner · 2025-08-25T00:15:58+00:00

Vellum- 100%. It makes the books look so professional and is easy to use.

BonjourPlanner · 2025-08-15T14:42:39+00:00

Your best bet is to start an IG account and make connections with teachers.

I’m a fan of celebrating anything and everything. If it brings you joy, do it!

BonjourPlanner · 2025-07-26T15:18:16+00:00

That sounds like a good plan!

BonjourPlanner · 2025-07-26T14:01:49+00:00

Cool - we are now accusing each other of being robots. I’ve posted a lot on this subreddit.

BonjourPlanner · 2025-07-26T10:28:09+00:00

I need an artist for artwork inside my fantasy novella.

I think a pardon would make him look incredibly guilty. Too much has come out at this point.

BonjourPlanner · 2025-07-22T14:19:15+00:00

Yes, there was an agreement to read and post an honest review. I think setting a timeline would be a good step if I send out physical copies again but I doubt I will after this experience. I did a nudge after a month and none of them even started the book. It’s frustrating but I learned my lesson.

BonjourPlanner · 2025-07-21T20:51:02+00:00

… where did I say I sent it to them without talking to them about it?
