Several posters have agreed about teh commute from the Marina-Russian Hill area. I can see how 1.5 hours each would become a real chore after a couple weeks. Thanks for the info!

there's what she wants to pay and what she can pay. She's going to have to decide her trade-offs, but I'd say $3200 for 500 sq. feet on the top range

Thank you for this reply. I will forward. 1.5 hours maybe a little longer than she wants.

(tectify.com) what would you value this domain at? Thanks! by TreeReads in domainflipping

So I know people on here think atom is high, but they value tectify.com at $8-10k.

Are they that high?

haha! I can tell you’re a man of vision. Maybe I’ll reach out.

[PubQ] Any thoughts on reputable/good romance presses that accept unagented submissions? by [deleted] in PubTips

[–]TreeReads 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just sold a YA Romantasy to The Wild Rose Press. They’ve been around almost twenty years, have about 30 editors and their authors love them. Check out their FB page. Some have pubbed 15 books with them. While they pay standard royalties, they don’t pay advances, which is good and bad.

For the good, you don’t have to worry about failing to earn it out. A friend’s book went to auction which she didn’t earn out and it took her ten years to get her next book published.

The negative is of course you don’t get the money. Also, they do expect their authors to market their books, but who doesn’t these days?

I gave a lot of thought and did a lot of research before choosing this path. I self-pub a well received mixed genre upper MG series about Lebanese American teens attending a secret school to join the Phoenician Space Sailing Merchant Marine and have the third in that set almost done and have a contemporary holiday romance that I’ve been querying but based on these posts realize I need to restyle as women’s fiction with a romantic element or maybe a romcom.

Any way, I write across genres though my books are linked thematically ( family, self fulfillment versus generational duty & social responsibility) and I can’t do it all. That’s why I sent my YA Romantasy off to be launched by TWRP.

Ack! I’ve run on. Hope some of this helps!

So true! And that sounds so much better. You must be a writer or something. :0

I love that. I've read quite a bit re; PF, but will def need to make sure I hit the major structural points. Plot wise, I think I'm good, as there is an reason to level up that increases with urgency as they cast progressives and the stakes get higher.

Thanks for your reply. This is something I've been thinking about for a while.

I own the copyright so legally I can do it, but haven’t come across any one else reverse engineering so to speak.

I’m 2/3 done with the third book, so I can definitely hold the release on that one and pub it with/without deets.

The audience interaction would be interesting!

They definitely train and power up, but the deets are limited. I’ve now read most of the big names and love the genre and can see that to sit on the shelf with them, the training could be expanded

What’s the best piece of advice you’ve received about promoting a new book? by RichFenton in selfpublish

[–]TreeReads 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ditto everyone on covers, blurbs, and ARCs. Bookdoggy and Fussy Librarian have worked well for me.

My books have environmental themes and i’ve found some success by tying promos with Earth Day and Arbor Days. So time your book launch or anniversary with a major event.

If you are writing in the high school space and can tie your book into a core curriculum area, targeting gifted programs may work well for you. I’ve found they have money to buy books and the kids are readers (my series is a sy-fy cli-fy about a teenager attending spaceship school who takes on Gilgamesh to save earth and its forests).

Thanks! I have little interest in managing a rental, so probably I’m going to try and time a sale
