There has been a lot of buzz about Bookbub lately. If you’re a reader, you can subscribe to their mailing list and get updates about deeply discounted or free books.

If you’re a writer, well, I hear that getting a Bookbub ad can be career changing. I haven’t had the opportunity to use Bookbub yet, but I’ve heard great things. And yesterday, I saw it in action. Recently, I was included in an anthology called The A.I. Chronicles. This was the 4th anthology released by The Future Chronicles. Yesterday, the anthology that came before mine, The Alien Chronicles, had a Bookbub. And wow, did it have an impact! By the end of the night, The Alien Chronicles was #6 on ALL of Amazon. And beyond that, the other stories in The Future Chronicles series got a boost, and even my sales on my stories got a little boost.

One of the hardest things for authors is visibility. Bookbub is expensive, but I’ve never heard about anyone regretting getting it, or really even losing money. Hopefully some day they’ll accept me and give me an ad. I might wait until I have more of a backlist to try.

But whether your a reader or writer, they have something to offer.

Don’t forget to nominate and share Otherworlders!

OTHERWORLDERS

It’s getting to be the last week for my novel on Kindle Scout. If you haven’t nominated it yet, it would mean a lot to me if you could. It’s getting down to crunch time, and I need all the support that I can get.

If you haven’t heard of Kindle Scout, here’s the gist: It gives readers the opportunity to see the first chapters of never before published books. If you like it, nominate it! And if it gets enough nominations, then you’ve helped a book get published and you get a FREE copy of the ebook before it’s published, and a thank you from the author. And since it’s run by Kindle, you just use your Amazon log-in to vote.

It’s almost over, so nomination time is limited. I’d really appreciate it if you could check it out and nominate it if you like it. Spread the word about it if you really like it. Thanks!!

Last MM: Kindle Worlds

I think that probably everyone has heard of Audible. They advertise everywhere. Their most recent commercial is a little racy I think. They have a woman listening to some romance novel (apologies if I don’t know which one it is. I don’t read that genre) throughout the course of her day, including while she is at work, and it’s talking about “riding a guy like a horse” and “unbuttoning” things. But, that’s just a side note, because I think it’s funny.
