self-publishing the shorts
Jun. 19th, 2011 05:44 pmWell, they already are self-published, some of them at least. They're on my website, or there are links to them on my website. But it appears that what all the cool kids are doing these days is turning their out of print stuff into self-published ebooks via places like Smashwords and Amazon's self-publishing thingie. I should probably do this simply for the name exposure side of things, which is what they were doing on my website as free reads in the first place. Since I appear to be finally climbing out of the latest pit of "no energy/working brain after work", I should probably try to do something about it the next time I need an excuse to avoid 300 words a day.
So does anyone have a burning desire to see something particular in ebook format as well as webpage? (My own inclination is to do the Lord and Master short "Flight of Dreams", but I'll need to check in with Loose Id about that, as it's part of a series otherwise published by them. Theoretically I can do as I please with it, but it would be seriously stupid not to ask for their opinion on how it might affect the other books. They have way more experience with selling patterns on Amazon than I do.)
I'm not sure what to do about And If I Offered Thee A Bargain. It's not currently available at all, so would be a natural one to start with, but it's also a love story with a tragic ending, and likely to put off romance readers who download it thinking they're going to get one of my HFN endings.
(Addendum: I should look at my own website more often. I've just found a badly formatted page courtesy of one missing bracket, which has been that way for two years...)
