31471 Probably need to go to GR help. Most moderators have no ability to change things like that.

31471 You need to contact the librarians. We can't do those kinds of things.

Thanks for the info. I appreciate you taking time to respond.

31471 I am seriously considering changing the title of the second book in my fantasy trilogy. Never have done anything remotely like that, I wonder if others have and what traps I should look out for, if I proceed. Any thoughts or suggestions are appreciated.
Thanks.

31471 Robert,
One place to start is look at a copy of Writer's Digest's Market guide. It has literary agents listed there. Also you can Google literary agents and find websites with all kinds of lists. I wish I could remember the association/group of ethical agents but you'll probably find it if you look hard enough.
Good luck.
31471 Ah yes. Found it. Ugh. Also found his GR author page. Sorry to be so dense. Thanks.

Hi J. Stephen Mills has a bio hidden in there somewhere. He is the author of Devil's Cohort and Isleman, which went..."

Hi Faith,
Thanks for the info on Mr. Mills. I have the print book edition and I still can't find his bio. I will follow up though thanks to your link.
Have a great day and stay well.
31471 I read a few more last night. Wow, every story has been good. I think I'll end up being the weak link here so just happy I got it.
One of the stories I read last night was by Stephen Mills. Really good but I don't see a bio for him in the book. Are you on here? Curious to find out what else you might have written.
All the best to everyone. Stay well.
31471 M.L. thanks for the #writersinlockdown hint. I will be using that going forward with any tweets. So far I've only read a few of the stories, all good. word-of-mouth it is, and I'll be one spreading the word.
Stay well.
31471 Hi all,
I got my book and started reading. So far, 4 stories down and liking what I've read. Hoping the rest of the book is as good or better.
31471 Hi all,
My paperback copy should arrive next week. I can't wait to read all the stories and then be able to add some review info to my blog, FB, GR and website posts. Looking forward to getting it.
Thanks again, Faith for all your work.
31471 Hi Faith,
Looks great. Thanks for putting it together. Now I'm going to grab the link and post on twitter, FB and everywhere I can.
All the best to you.

31471 I currently have ebooks that are at Amazon exclusively to take advantage of KU and other ebooks that are at Amazon and lots of other places. The only thing Amazon takes away from these is the ability to be included in KU. I also have print books that are at Amazon and others places. So I don't understand the suggestion that you have to make a choice - "Amazon or elsewhere"

31471 I agree with P.D. - my experience with IngramSpark wasn't good. I gave up and moved my books elsewhere. Draft 2 Digital is my overall favorite.
31471 Hi Faith,
Thanks for the update. Looking forward to seeing the finished book. I'm guessing it is going to be really good. Which means I'll have to be hyping it once it's for sale.

31471 Joshua, try the help link. No one here has authority to change anything like that.
31471 Looking forward to seeing the cover and to read all the stories.

31471 Jack, thanks. I am going to get serious about Amazon ads once I get my next book out - almost there. But I am going to spend the time to figure out what and how to use those ads.
All the best.

31471 Hi Jack,
I can't find the blog post about Amazon ads. Is there someplace else to look?
Jim
31471 Great. Thanks for the update. My story will be headed your way soon. Curious about formatting - I always use double spaced. Is that okay and do you prefer that over single spaced?
