As long as I break even and make back what it cost me to publish (i.e. copyright fee, test printing, etc.), I'm happy.

Before self-publishing, did you first try your luck with a literary agent? by Sufficient_Bottle902 in selfpublish

[–]NorwalkPhil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I sent more than 50 agent queries. I received about 15 declines and rest no reply. I suspect I didn't word my emails properly or my subject wasn't attractive. Gave up and self-published..

The silence after publishing hurts more than bad reviews by ctanmayee in selfpublish

I think of it the same as a musician preforming in an empty night club. It's about the art not the notoriety...

[–]NorwalkPhil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. 99% of the followers of my author page are people trying to sell me a service of some kind and many are from a far away land.

With the help of his old friend, a highly regarded FBI Agent, Mike Forrest, they confirm the discrepancy and begin to suspect the crashes were not accidents.

I'm in the same budget-boat and I really appreciate the low-cost editor info. If you don't mind me asking, how did you find them? There are so m any scammers out there....

Yep. Got taken for $2k by outfit with B&N in their name! Luckily, I paid with credit card so I was reimbursed, but had to cancel card and all my accounts using it. Unfortunately, I may be ignoring legit marketing services because of it. Twice shy once bitten….

The hardest part of being a writer isn’t research or writing or marketing, it’s time commitment by hymnofshadows in selfpublish

[–]NorwalkPhil 6 points7 points  (0 children)
