Happy Halloween, everyone! It's also LAUNCH DAY for my new novella, HE FORECLOSED ON MY HEART. The paperback is available on Amazon, and the ebook is available at most online bookstores. The book is a New Adult romance set in the exciting world of Beverly Hills real estate. A sheltered, naive college student gets an internship at a real estate firm during a summer break and falls in love at first sight with guess who? Yeah, the real estate tycoon boss. Nassim narrates her story, which is sometimes sweet, sometimes salacious, always sincere! Today I am also promoting my novel BEER POUR in a Book Funnel promo for author besties.

RE: https://writing.exchange/@hiisikoloart/117269599940766167 An ePub formatting troubleshooting thread dives into how to fix stubborn paragraph breaks in Sigil (including a practical margin-based workaround). #IAS #IndieAuthor #IndieAuthors #AmWriting

Hey who was the Sigil using Master here who could maybe help me out with the paragraph breaks? I have a code issue, which I think could maybe be fixable? #Sigil #Editing #Formatting

Indie Authors, If you'd like to know more about Itchio Bundles, this post is a good place to start. Having hosted 6 bundles myself and participated in many more, I took some time to reflect on what makes for a good bundle, and a successful one. And FYI, the majority of my sales and indie author income is from Itch Bundle sales. The collective marketing and shared income of bundles is great for #SpoonieAuthors. #authors #indieauthors #bookmarketing #itchio

Itchio Book Bundles: Many Authors Make Less Work - Elise Carlson

For many indie authors, the biggest stumbling block is marketing the book, so people know it exists. Paid advertising can easily waste money. The platform that works for one author doesn’t work for another. Bookfunnel does involve a group temporarily promoting a landing page for multiple author’s books, but other author’s books may sell and […]

RE: https://mastodon.au/@wendypalmer/116844162472760771 Final weekend (and indeed final week) of the #Smashwords July sale. Lots of #indieAuthors on sale, including #MastoAuthors, including me 😊 #books #readingCommunity

The Smashwords Summer/Winter sale is on during July. Stinking hot / cold and rainy? Obviously you need to stay inside and read. All my books are 50% off. That makes them US$2 all month. They’re low-key fantasy with romantic subplots, often queer: https://www.smashwords.com/profile/view/wendylpalmer But you’ll find plenty of other Masto indie authors on the smashwords hashtag, and there’s lots and lots of books to browse at the site: https://www.smashwords.com/shelves/promos/1 #SmashWords #SmashwordSale #BookSale #bookstodon

A little under a week ago, I enjoyed my first live event of the year - the Bazaar of the Bizarre. I sold four books, handed out plenty of cards, and had some neat conversations.

I have just listed one of my back catalogue titles on #NetGalley - The Redemption of Jarek. Description: "After a humiliating defeat and banishment from the kingdom's capital, Jarek retreats to his tentatively loyal domain. He faces the scrutiny of commanders and villagers alike, and struggles to maintain their support while mending a dysfunctional former dukedom. When strangers arrive seeking amnesty, the struggle against their relentless pursuer could be Jarek's last."

RE: https://indieauthors.social/@dylanmadeley/116233785282830759 This book still needs reviewers via #NetGalley or #BookSirens or #ReedsyDiscovery or #BookSprout or direct through me (only the last option requires you to fill out a simple Google Form so I can track who I email copies to). Links in blog post! Help appreciated! I'm not picky about who applies via NetGalley, either. So far, 25 Requests, 25 Acceptances. #Bookstodon #Indieauthor #Indieauthors #Indiebooks

RE: https://indieauthors.social/@OV_Dragonman/116051892825145304 Turning an exposition-heavy short story into a half-hour readers' theater piece with multiple narrators and potential community staging. #IAS #IndieAuthor #IndieAuthors #AmWriting

Call me Dragonman . . . Allegedly retired, I am still pretty busy with projects. I was in a Writers' Club a while back and produced some short stories that have met with some success at private readings. Current project is trying to turn one of these stories into a one act play, of sorts. My challenge is the original is mainly exposition with only some dialog. I am contemplating this as a "readers theater" type piece, where performers stay seated, but emotively read the lines. Hints and suggestions on making this a more play-like experience would be appreciated. We have a community theater club that I am eyeing as a possible venue, and I think this can be as good as some of the other locally authored productions have been!

How Indie Authors Market Literary Fiction, with Orna Ross Many literary fiction authors feel caught in the middle, shut out of a traditional literary establishment that foregrounds their genre, but also out of indie advice urging marketing methods that feel misaligned. Orna Ross explores the psychology of literary writers who feel uneasy about selling their work, shares her own marketing shifts as a literary novelist and poet, and explains why literary fiction is not a special case—simply another genre with its own reader psychology and buying behavior. The post How Indie Authors Market Literary Fiction, with Orna Ross appeared first on The Self-Publishing Advice Center. https://selfpublishingadvice.org/podcast-market-literary-fiction/ #Podcast #authorbranding #bookpromotion #indieauthors #literaryfictionmarketing
