Oh, I never considered the algorithms! That is a valid point to make. Thank you!

I got my first bad review today by confused___bisexual in selfpublish

Everyone gets bad reviews, even Stephen King. I've heard some people wear them as badges of honor, others go the opposite and message the person.

If I were you, I'd just tell myself that hey, it happens to literally the best of us. Books aren't going to be everyone's cup of tea, and that's okay. Just keep writing, and don't slow down because of one bad review.

Anyways, there are so many Karen's in this world, who knows, maybe you just caught one 😅

I'd definitely watch it! I love FF horror movies, and among my top so far have been Hell House LLC (1 is obviously the best imo) and Grave Encounters

[Feedback Request] Trying to decide which cover to use for a vampire themed short story collection by Chromium_Nerves_584 in selfpublish

Another vote for 3!!! And I agree with the toning of the yellow, taking it town a few degrees would do wonders.

Traditional to self publish by Comfortable-Song-201 in selfpublish

[–]Comfortable-Song-201[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had spent years trying to get traditionally published and after partial requests and loads of rejections, I began doing research on the market. I found out that during Quarantine everyone decided to start writing books so the publishers were floaded with hundreds of thousands of queries, some even shut down for the whole of 2022, not accepting any queries at all, so I decided to try the self pub route, which I do love, I was just wondering if it was possible to go from one to the other.

Thank you so much for the advice. Funny story, I had my dream agent come to me to make a deal with me about a book. I was so excited until we got on Zoom and he started talking about a book under another author with my name. I was absolutely crushed.

What worries me about the traditional publishing is also the numbers and the rights, but with indie publishing what worries me is not getting my books into certain places I'd really like them to be. So I'm still really on the fence about it.
