Last fall she resized my cover art so I could use it on my audio books, even though she wouldn't make anything from it. She was awesome.Paulinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06673963438671468441noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3253514971182687836.post-53049340665302631732013-07-21T10:35:58.905-04:002013-07-21T10:35:58.905-04:00After working my way through about 7 publishers, I...After working my way through about 7 publishers, I'm taking control of my books, for better or worse. Have you read The Business Rusch at all? Even before Linda's passing, I'd decided that I need to become a hybrid author, at least. So I indie published my first book in March. I also exploited my audio rights at the end of last year. There is something rather addictive about being paid monthly.

I would recommend either company or wherever you go your new material but self publish your older works. That way you get a taste of self publishing without all the risk. If you don't like it simple let whichever publisher you choose list your back list. No harm no foul. Ms.Tina's company puts out books every month on the 1st and the 15th, all her authors speak very highly of her and as a customer i've found her to be really nice and funny. Samhain puts out new books every week and seems to always have something going on for both it's readers and authors. Anyway just my two cents! ;) I can't wait to read the new book. I had wondered why all your books disappeared from Amazon.<br /><br /> Again my condolences and best wishes.<br />D.deehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04155795124479897989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3253514971182687836.post-61233825583949562302013-07-21T08:03:01.560-04:002013-07-21T08:03:01.560-04:00Wow, very sorry to hear about the loss of your pub...Wow, very sorry to hear about the loss of your publisher and the decision to close L&L. Whatever you choose, I'm sure you'll land on your feet with a lot of success. I am a "hybrid" author. I'm both self publishing and working with a publisher. I'm finding there's definitely more money in self publishing, but I love having a professional publisher behind me.<br /><br />Good luck, Denise, on whichever direction you decide.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
