sharper_fin Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 Has anyone on here ever self-published their work? I have a collection of chic-lit short stories that I'm planning on self-publishing in e-book format initially but in paperback (with ISBN) later. Has anyone done similar? I'm particularly worried about getting a good cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharper_fin Posted March 22, 2012 Author Share Posted March 22, 2012 OK, I published. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Tiny-Treats-ebook/dp/B007N4NJ2M/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1332407925&sr=8-4 Could people have a look and tell me what they think? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Blanco Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 Good luck with it, Sharper Fin. It looks like a tidy little bundle of stories. And despite your fears I think the cover is completely appropriate. Did you do it yourself? Please keep us posted with progress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharper_fin Posted March 22, 2012 Author Share Posted March 22, 2012 Thanks Ron. Yes, I did the cover myself. It seemed in keping with the stories themselves - the kind of thing that gets published in Take a Break, My Weekly etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady Agatha Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 Just as an alternative idea for self publishing, I've decided to post my novella up as a blog. It's free and it just seemed better than putting it at the back of the drawer never to see daylight. Especially as I've been working on it for a couple of years. Now at least friends and family can read it. I'm putting up a chapter every month or so. I suppose it would be nice if loads of people read it (and clicked on the adverts!) but really I'm just hoping I don't get any nasty comments! I'll let you know how it goes. Let us know how your book sells, sharper fin - I'm sure we're all interested to see how well self publishing works. Lady A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharper_fin Posted March 25, 2012 Author Share Posted March 25, 2012 I will indeed let you know Agatha. A few years ago I self-published a non-fiction book about Disney's abandoned theme park concepts. That's currently at 7,000+ sales, but this is my first dip of the toe into fiction's waters.
