Plus self-publishing is a 70 percent royalty rate. (Also I second the motion that $4.99 might be steep for a novella. Lee Goldberg (Monk books) convinced me to lower my prices, and the sales have improved ... though nowhere in your league.) I do wish you good luck & best wishes in the e-markets.Fred Zackelnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8642040507586245737.post-71716276208813350332010-08-12T14:44:58.283-06:002010-08-12T14:44:58.283-06:00$5 for 25k words of never-before-published materia...$5 for 25k words of never-before-published material that, if it had been brought out from some small press, would've cost $30, seems fair to me, Matt. But we'll see how it goes along the way. Besides, how else am I going to buy that house in the Hamptons?

If you h...Best success with the new endeavor Tom. <br /><br />If you haven't already, I suggest stopping by JA Konrath's blog to check out what he has to say about ebooks - he's making a fortune! <br /><br />$4.99 is pretty steep (believe it or not) for a noirvella. <br /><br />I think as a reader, that's a good price for a full-length novel, but not a shorter piece. <br /><br />Again, best success.<br /> <br />MattRusty Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16143817211151177797noreply@blogger.com
