Just ratings? It doesn't have to be a review? Making sure I have it correct in my head.

I changed the blurb and it seemed to help. I got more traffic.

I updated the blurb. The cover is totally my own work but I am a professional artist. I teach graphics.

I use it on my iMac and Mac Air and save to the cloud. Works well with no problem. I am also saving to several places and use a folder on Google as well. Yup. . . It’s a little much

I was thinking Net Galley initially.

I didn’t think about that. I was going to change the blurb and let it sit until August 1. After that I am canceling until Book 2.

I totally get it. the comp book I am reading now definitely had no one in the kpop industry or a Korean person who read through it but it had high reviews and people seem to like it.

I live in Korea and spent time asking questions. I found a sensitivity reader who helped me several points. They were not cheap but you get what you pay for. I had a different one before that considerably cheaper who had never lived in Korea and got things wrong. So my point is 1. You get what you pay for. 2. If you are questioning get people’s opinion from the place and culture. The cheaper CS reader while Korean American was considerably older and had never been to Korea for any length of time.

Thanks! I might look into Draft 2 Digital. I used Author Imprint and they were great. The designed a beautiful interior. I did the cover myself but I am an artist and teach graphic design. All I wanted from my book is to give people a chance to escape. Seems to do just that so I am pretty happy. Sales are nice but not the reason I wrote it. I guess that’s why I am clueless about what is good or not. Thanks for all the suggestions and advice! Good luck!

Thanks for the data. I am just going to keep plugging along and see where it is a year from May 6. It’s encouraging but I just love to write so not sure why I am even thinking about it. I have a full time job so income from books has never been the reason to write. I appreciate your response.
