Bookbub

I haven't had any luck with Bookbub submissions for Sky1. I've been told it's both a matter of quality of the book as well as persistence in resubmitting every four weeks.

Given that RedAdept edited it and I recently had the cover re-done (Streetlight Graphics and I highly recommend both RA and SG) and both of these seem to be the highest quality (and expense!) around, I think I have the quality part nailed. Although, I must confess that it's quite a hoot to go back to read some of Sky1, now that I'm four books into the series. The book still works. But after so much writing and learning since I wrote the first one, it's painful to see all the missed opportunities with regards to pacing, tension, and a variety of other things that go into making a very good book. Oh well. I can live with every book in the series being better than the previous one.

Now that I'm certain of achieving a baseline of quality, I'm just working on persistence. Which means resubmitting every four weeks or so.

One nice interaction I had with Bookbub today was that their book search function was down. I emailed their support and they responded within an hour. I was very impressed. Fingers crossed on the latest submission. If you have any tips on Bookbub, I'd love to read them in the comments, below.
