Aching for Reviews

15 Apr

I hadn’t realised, when I thought I’d jump into the Indie stream and have a splash around, that the hardest thing about it would be getting people to read my stuff. But it is.

By that, I don’t mean that it’s hard to get people to pay for an ebook. That’s not so much of a problem I think. No, the hard thing is trying to persuade someone to read a free copy and then post their opinions online. And, because Amazon.com is such a publishing powerhouse, what that really means is posting their opinions on Amazon.com or .co.uk.

So if anyone would like to do that, please let me know, and I’ll give you a free copy of Payback or Aching for Marvin.

    I’d love to read more of your stuff! And I’d gladly review it. I’m not sure how much my opinion matters to people, but hey I’ll give it a shot 😀

    *points upwards* What she said. I guess I’d better go download a Kindle app… 😉

    Re the cover. Good start, generally going in the right direction, but not finished with quite enough polish i think ( for example the lettering ) From reading at kindle boards we all know the cover can matter a lot. Personally i like this illustrated cartoon look, but i wonder if a more realistic illustration would improve sales ? Might be worth experimenting. I could suggest a layout but would not do the final art. You don’t need a whole figure, just part of a figure.

    Id be interested to read and review ” Aching for Marvin ”
    I’m curious about different genres at the moment and the firs few lines seemed like fun.

    If you still need reviewers, I would be more than happy to help out, if you’d like.
