I have always said to myself t...Fascinating story!<br /><br />I have always said to myself that I would consider a deal with a publisher for foreign rights or print-only, and only if they intended to put some serious marketing mojo behind my print novels. <br /><br />I think I am hypothesizing myself out of a contract with a publisher. LOL.<br /><br />Anyway, over this past year, I have watched people I know, people who I saw at the very start of their writing careers, who hit NYT and USA Today lists, and are making double-digit thousands per month. <br /><br />You know how they did it? They wrote a shit-ton of books, a lot of short fiction too. It seems that the world is changing, and short fiction is growing in demand.<br /><br />My advice, for what its worth: build a fiction world that has capacity for short story satellites revolving around main novels of one or more series. That is the strategy successful Indies are using. Not only romance, but hard scifi.<br /><br />:)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12593351315325303120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3018549864847812377.post-30645815796748199352015-01-29T18:20:46.797-05:002015-01-29T18:20:46.797-05:00Glad you enjoyed the post.

Great insight, however!<br />And what I love, after all, is being able to reach the author, because that's an important part of the book, too. And *ahem* I can say hey to you. ;)JLuis Liceahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03350508064668846921noreply@blogger.com
