It's a solid reference,instructive-in-depth, and full of things I can quote to the rear guardiartas who still sneer at indie self-publishing as not "real." Thank you!

I do hope you find it useful.<br /><br />Reb, your comment about promotion and reviews was something I felt was outside the scope of this book which is mainly about self-publishing and how to go about doing it. If you are looking for a book on promotion, Wendy H Jones, who is a member of this group has written a very good and easily read one - Power Packed Book Marketing. I've mentioned it in my book and included it in the references.<br /><br />The other aspect of this is that although I am very experienced in self-publishing, my skills in respect of promotion are abysmal. I'd much rather get on and write than spend hours promoting.

Judging from the table of contents, it doesn't look as you've give more than a page or 2 to two subjects closest to most of our hearts: promotion and obtaining reviews. I know these are things most writers never disclose, but you're so candid and forthcoming...I'm stumped.glitter noirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11728649916344336118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2429560125838989988.post-29150977109416568632017-03-05T11:30:56.871+00:002017-03-05T11:30:56.871+00:00Fascinating post, Chris, and a book that deserves ...Fascinating post, Chris, and a book that deserves to succeed.
