Why I Decided to Publish a "Real" Book
I'm so excited to announce that I have just released the print version of Keeper of the Scale as a trade paperback. It is now available on Amazon as both an e-book and a print-on-demand paperback, and on Barnes and Noble as a print-on-demand paperback. It is also available through numerous online bookstores.
Why did I decide to take the plunge and publish a "real" book?
I had been thinking of doing it for some time, and recently was asked to speak at a local book fair on a panel with other first time women novelists. Knowing I would need a physical book for that event gave me a firm deadline.
The event was a wonderful experience, and following that I was asked to appear on a local TV show, again to speak about my experience as an Indie author. So, I was thrilled to have a "real" book to show at the taping.
In the end, though, I think that the main thing is to get people reading, on whatever form they prefer. Some prefer to hold a book in their hands, others love the convenience of reading on a device. How lucky we are to live in such changing times in publishing where both are possible! Hurray for reading!
Please check out my paperback version at the links below.
And stay tuned for my next blog post on authors Jennifer Weiner and Anne Patchett, both of whom I had the pleasure of hearing speak recently.
Also, November is national novel writing month, so remember, if you are an aspiring author, now's a great time to get started!
