Writing and Publishing: Enrolling in KDP Select

It’s been two months since I published my first book, the first part in my N.A.V.S.A. series (North American Vampire Secret Agency). So far, only one person I don’t know has bought the book.

It is sad, but true… I bet there’s many authors out there who publish their books and months after they had no sales.

My best friend suggested I start the book at $2.99 for at least 6 months, but what good is it to have it there for the world to buy if they don’t know who I am or what’s going on? 

I finally yielded.

I took my book off Nook (which has given me even worse sales than Kindle = zero), and enrolled in KDP select.

At this point, I am willing to just give people my book for free. I need a following. Other people who like the supernatural the way I like it. My stories are fun, at least I know I love them. I read them over and over because I can’t find these stories no where else! I know I’m an amateur and I do not have an editor, but that will come in time.

But people can’t give me a chance if I make it so hard for them to try… so, I am starting on KPD Select. A few weeks from now, I’ll offer my book for free.

We’ll see how it goes. 

As for my next published work. It’s coming along. It’s a collection of 5 short stories. I’ve revised 2 out of 5 in two months. I think it should be released at the end of the summer. Probably direct to KDP Select. 

​cheers!
