Andres’s Comments (group member since Jul 29, 2020)

Andres’s comments from the Gathering Of Dedicated Scribblers group.

So what I'm learning is that these are all attempts to gain a pdf. or .doc so that they can place them on their pirate e-book sites. I don't think I would actually mind uploading a book or two to a 'donation' or free site. Since I am an indie author, it would be another avenue to generate reads and reviews. However, I do not like the way these individuals are going about it and therefore I wont be giving it to them. Although, if any of my friends on goodreads were to create such a thing, you could count on me to donate as long as funds generated went to a good cause and website maintenance.

Hello,

Mark here. I recently checked out your awesome book at Amazon. Do you like the idea of exposing your book to almost a million kindle book readers on social media? If you are interested in becoming the next bestselling author on Amazon, you can contact me for details (please ignore this message if you don’t want to get more reviews and sales for your book).

Hello,

Would you be interested if I tell you how to triple your book sales?

I had a quick look at the Amazon sales rank of your newly published book and realized that you have not made a considerable amount of sales. I also had a look at the cover and blurb of your book and realized that they could be better. A recent case study done on top 10 bestselling indie authors indicate that they started making sales right after changing the cover and synopsis of their book, WITHOUT investing a cent on traditional marketing methods.

If you are serious about learning how to triple your book sales, please respond to this email, thanks. On the other hand if you want to remain stuck where you are and enjoy your struggle secretly, you can ignore this email.

Could you paste your blurb or synopsis of the book? Women's literature is kind of board? Vague?

Hi everyone,

I just wanted to give the authors here a word of caution. It was actually pointed out to me by a fellow author that I had been the victim of a raiting scam. Currently my public works all show 10 - 1Star raitings submitted on April 9th and 10th. The author was the victim to a similar situation where they demanded money from her in order to remove their fake raitings.

I just wanted to inform those of you that have not run into an experience like this that it does exist and may happen. When (if you have not already) publish your work you may begin recieving emails telling you that they are beta readers or reviewers and you can send your book to them absolutely free (but not through amazon, or kindle, or mobi or any other file other than word.doc or .pdf).

They might also say something along the lines of, I have thirty thousand followers and they can influence your raitings. If you want to know more respond to this email. Then they attempt to acquire funds from you to grant you bogus raitings through fake profiles.

If anyone else has any similar experience please share them here. I believe the more we are aware of these things the better we can be prepared to help each other from becoming victims of these scams. It is difficult enough just being an indie author predators like these need to be made aware of and through a good community like we have here on SFF we can help protect each other even if it is only in a small way.

Thank you everyone,
ARod

Just started chapter 11 on book #2 of my trilogy. My target is hitting 3,500 words per chapter. However, did anyone see the new Kindle Vella?

I'm wondering if I can create a series on there. Each series you post is between 500 to 5,000 words. The first couple are free to the reader and then they have to pay to read the rest. You split it with Amazon 50/50.

How to Track World-Building in a Fantasy Series

Check this out. I was watching the san diego comic con with Patrick Rothfuss and George RR Martin. They were speaking about fantasy maps.

Fantasy maps often play a huge part in this genre. Even better is having a map of your very own world where you can write several books about it. So, check out these map generators!

YAY! Congratulations Rachel!
