E-pubbing Questions Around the Web

Last weekend, Michael Bracken had a post on his blog called "Show Me The Money" http://crimefictionwriter.blogspot.com/2011/05/show-me-money.html where he asked how other short story writers were doing selling shorts on Kindle.

This week he's back with a breakdown of his sales since he started epubbing his own work. Interesting reading and a very real look at those who aren't at the top of the Kindle heap. http://crimefictionwriter.blogspot.com/2011/05/kindle-reality.html

Another writer who's diving into epubbing is Chuck Wendig who talks about it here http://terribleminds.com/ramble/2011/05/25/confessions-of-a-self-published-penmonkey/ One thing that Chuck talks about that few others do, is pricing your books.

And Allan Guthrie has a blog called Criminal-e where he does interviews with a variety of self-pubbed authors from short story writers to novelists. In the interviews there's always a few questions about the business of self-pubbing your work as an ebook. http://criminal-e.blogspot.com/

It's a confusing time for both writers and publishers and only by asking questions and listening to answers can we judge what is best for us.
