How many of you have been considering taking that multiply rejected manuscript to KIndle? - CrimeSpace2024-03-29T11:24:56Zhttp://crimespace.ning.com/forum/topics/how-many-of-you-have-been?commentId=537324%3AComment%3A257915&feed=yes&xn_auth=noI've done well selling my non…tag:crimespace.ning.com,2010-12-12:537324:Comment:2581372010-12-12T02:56:50.916ZJacqui Murrayhttp://crimespace.ning.com/profile/JacquiMurray
<p>I've done well selling my non-fiction books as ebooks, but haven't tried my novels. I have two techno-thrillers and two historic. I've mentally set this summer as decision time. They're clogging up my desk drawer.</p>

<p>Hey Eric, I'm surprised the literary agent was interested after you'd pub'd it to Kindle. So that wasn't a problem? I'd always heard once it was self-published, no one would be interested. Can you tell me more about that?</p>

<p>Promotion is just one. I've read stories of publishers sending books editorial changes to authors after three months and wanting them back in two weeks. I'm sorry, I'm not taking time from my paying job for something that pays like a hobby. It might be different if the publishers had an investment in building readership, but I don't think too many of them do that anymore. You sell, or you're out.</p>

<p>Steve, I agree with David! Just take the chance if you want to. Just look into things first if you decide to go for it. I'm sure folks here on Crimespace who've self-published will help you.</p>
<p><br/>Best Wishes!</p>

<p>Thanks, John. It's nice to hear good things about Encore. My books have not been previously published, so I may be wrong about re-releases. They appear to be not much different from traditional publishers in that they publish in several formats. I have a notion that there are no advances, but then I wasn't looking for those. I do like Amazon's publicity. Much good luck with your books!</p>
