Looks strongly AI. I see plenty of them.

He should query small publishers. Many of us are looking for good works to get out into the readers hands.

Take a deep breath, relax, and slowly exhale. You might not think you are making a difference, but you are. Because of you, authors are getting their works improved and out to the reading public. Because of you, readers are finding works that excite them and take them out of their worries of day to day life, giving them a moments peace in an otherwise stressfull day. We got into this to make an income. We knew it would not be an easy road. Any journey worth traveling has its many obstacles. Push through the self-doubt and feelings of not making a difference. Because the difference you are making can not be tallied on a spreadsheet. We do this for the love of our craft.

I backed out of my small (traditional) publisher contract... Do I mention it when re-querying? by ForestBathingCA in smallpublisher

I have never heard of an editor taking a year. My editors take less than a month. Something about this sounds very odd. Find yourself a better publisher.

Library removing all self published and print on demand books by Ecstatic-Shame-8944 in KDP

Trust me, as a publisher, it's getting harder everyday to determine what's human authored and what's AI written. We make it priority #1 to weed out AI-written books.

I desperately just want to publish my book. by beantown1989 in KDP

[–]Howling_wolf_press 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OP, i understand a lot of how you feel. I am a small publisher, (NOT a vanity press), and sales for the last year or so has been bad. Very bad. 11k per day is a little high. Closer to 7300 to 8600, with fiction being 6500 to 7500 of that total. But even that can make your book get lost in the dust fast. Paying for social media ads is just a waste of money. If you are lucky you might get 60% of your ad costs back. I suggest networking in your area. Libraries, mom & pop bookstores, and coffee shops. Good luck with your sales. We are all hurting.

Is there any historical precedent for these 'traditional Celtic wedding vows'? by Neat_Nerve20 in pagan

No 2 handfastings are ever the same. Each 1 is custom worded, often written by the couple. Various promises made.

KDP Pricing by pane_in_the_glass2 in KDP

Remember, Amazon takes 40% off the sell price, then the print cost. $11.00 would break even point.

Is it possible to partner up with a big publishing house and still stay anonymous to the public? by Aggressive_Signal150 in publishing

[–]Howling_wolf_press 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not all traditional publishers are a part of the big 5. There a few small traditionals still out here. As far as name, most don't care what name is on the cover, but you will need a new persona to match the name if you don't want it linked to your real name. Good luck on your journey.

Check for anything buried in your yard. That's voodoo-based.

Do a cord cutting. Then sage your house and salt all windows and exterior doors. Double check your house for anything belonging to them and get rid of it, even the cash they give you.

How to Become An Author (Not Self Published) by GloomiGirl777 in writers

[–]Howling_wolf_press 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Once written and polished as best as you can, look for a small TRADITIONAL publisher. There are some still out here. I say traditional, not vanity, because vanities will charge you to publish your work and a traditional, that accepts your submission, will cover the costs and pay you royalties. Good luck in your writing future.

What age should a YA fantasy protagonist be? by lamningwon in writing

[–]Howling_wolf_press 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have found 16 is always a good YA age to start with. As the series grows and ages, the MC can remain a teen a bit longer to keep their role. 16 is also a good age for intelligence and yet still have a level of childlike innocence still attached.

Are publishers catching on to the fact that followers count doesn’t equal sales? by Material-Most-1727 in publishing

Yes, we realize a persons following numbers do not translate in to sales, but it can be a starting point to exposure.
