The conversation continues on the loop about self-publishing vs.
publishing with a house.
I enjoy both for various reasons. One writer only has one book
out and it sells very well on the third party sites. She wants to claim her
rights back and self-publish.
She’s gotten a lot of good advice from talented authors. The consensus
was to leave it for now. Build a following. If possible do both for a brief
period of time. I agree with this for a brand new author.
I’ve left my books where they are for many different reasons. But
recently the opportunity to get the rights back to one of my books presented
itself. I took it.
Why?
Because the book does not sell well on ANY site. If I sold 10
copies on all the sites, in over a year that’s a lot. My theory? First the
cover. I never did like the cover, but I don’t get a say. The other is it’s an
M/F. this publisher big sellers are M/M/F and M/M. Just my opinion.
So I’m taking my rights back to the book and I’ll self-publish
it. Someday I might take the others too. As of right now I’m starting one at a
time.
