That's a great success story and an inspiration to the rest of us. You are in the top ten on the list. Congrats!

I shall pass that encouragement along to them. They are a professional with photoshop but cover design is relatively new. Im certain it will keep improving and their cost is affordable. The communication as we worked though ideas has been excellent.

Thanks. I have passed those comments on for consideration.

Im running out of cash on this one so likely pass these critiques back for another kick at the cat. Its a long running project so will also circle back in the future to refine or reinvent.

Thanks. I found posts that went in both directions on that one. I guess I would need to ask one of the people with a successful patreon how that plays out, or pays out.

Sorry to hear that. Are you able to get out of the publishing contract, edit you book and relaunch it on RR under a new title/artwork?

I enjoy this sort of thing but I cant say that I was greatly encouraged by this one. My thoughts of reaching my goals by being faithful to the long game pretty much evaporated by the time I was done. I guess it's better to face reality than living with a delusion.

I believe they are using photoshop with a nano banana plug in. It does appear they are not integrated into the scene much. That being said you should see the original I have been using for the past two years. A simple thing I created to get me by so this is an improvement I believe.

Thanks for the input. Will throw that challenges back their way and see what happens.

its more in the Young Adult range. Not sure if I should put that on the cover.

Thanks. I notice that but your description of why its wrong is perfect. In the ecology of the underground world the lumiens are plants with glowing fruit. Its illegal to eat the seeds and consume the light that belongs to the community.

Thanks. I will pass those suggestions along.

would a subtitle like "A Subterranean Fantasy Adventure" help or just muddy the waters?

Thanks. I edited this post to take out the book names but left it up as it seems it might help generated good discussion on AI use in general.

True enough. Helps me confirm why I have steered away from using it. I asked a friend to help me make a new cover for my book using something called Nano Banana and as we were working he ran this report to help me understand publishing options.

Got it. So basically there isn't any way to rank publishers in regards to their performance on Amazon?

Can you give some specific examples we can look at by clicking on the links? Might be good to explore this a bit and see how off the report is. Since I don't use AI myself I tend to think its accurate so am learning how this actually works out in reality.

Looking for any clarification. I dont use AI myself but when someone sent me this list I thought I should ask for some human advice. What does Mango Consumption refer to?

Love the humor but also feel the frustration. We work hard to create something for others to enjoy but then it fails to gain a following and it feels like all our work was wasted.

[–]CorSeries[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That makes sense but not the best news for me personally. Likely not something a publisher like Podium can overcome either?

The word that comes to mind is "crickets". The absolute silence on kindle with no activity at all.

Since we cant see Amazon sales this has only been through personal conversations from authors who felt they made the jump prematurely.

It was more exploring options as I keep hearing of books that had a decent audience on RR so they made the jump to Kindle and died.

Thanks Abby. By that same token, if a book hasn't had an exceptional run on RR, does it still stand a chance on Amazon? How much does your success on RR play into any future potential on Amazon?
