BE GENTLE! I'm The New Kid Empty

Hi! My name is Atonus, most call me Tony or X16. I just published my first book. Its called Sinexia: The Mark of Perillius. I'm here to network because I realize that I don't have all of the answers. In fact, the few answers I do have were hard won and I don't want to keep making the same mistakes. Does anyone know anything about publicity companies? Are they worth the investment? I'm about to drop a nice piece of change to a company I think, if their website is any indication, is well known. I welcome all advice and criticism! Thank you - Tony P.

Check out my website for the book www.sinexia.net

Hi Tony,

Welcome to the forum! Is your book on Kindle? Ebooks are easier to sell than print books and the profit margin is greater.

Thanks! The ebook should be available for nook, kindle, and on the ibook store by the end of June. I'm not sure why that part took longer than getting the book in print. I would think it was the other way around!

If your print publisher is doing the electronic publishing, chances are the delay in coming out with an e-book is intentional. They have this paranoid belief that the availablity of an ebook will cut into their print edition sales.

It must be based on something. My trade pub hasn't made the latest edition of my book available on Kindle, and it's now two years old. An older edition is on Kindle (and it beats me why anyone buys it, but they do).

Desperation as they watch the potential for their market share to erode. And misguided predictions. Simultaneous publication is essential. There are two marketplaces: those who want print editions and those who want e-books and, I think, not a lot of overlap, or at least not enough to make a difference.

Delaying the release of either format allows any interest or excitement generated by the initial release hoopla of the other to wither.
