I just read your post about amazon. Thank you for the perspective. I'm confused though by something that appears to be contradictory. You say that IP is going to sell through amazon but NOT have pre-sales. In a later paragraph you say that pre-orders are i
Not contradictory at all, just a matter ofdamned if you do, damned if you don’t.The answer is very inside baseball, but I’ll make it brief and direct.
This is a challenging decision for any small press: By offering pre-sale through Amazon, you increase your odds of selling enough individual books to have ‘bestsellers’, but you do so at a significant cost.

Just can't get enough?
I’m available online in several forms for your following pleasure. If you’d like to keep up with my ramblings, you can find me on the following social media platforms.
Facebook — Because apparently people still use Facebook … even me.
Twitter — Miscellany and abbreviated screed from the mind of me.
Instagram — Right now this is mostly photos of my cats, but I occasionally share other stuff of note.
Pinterest — I’ve created a pinboard especially for Designs on You
