Rayne Golay (RayneGolay) | 75 comments Corey, as I'm not indie published, I guess I don't qualify to join. My publisher's policy is never to have freebies. My book, THE WOODEN CHAIR, once it's out next month may be discounted, but am not sure of that.

Thanks Apryl and Corey for offering this!
My short and simple e-book, The Molestation Manifesto , is *FREE* from 4/24/2013 until 5/8/2013 in the Lulu marketplace. You can copy/paste or follow the link here: http://www.lulu.com/content/e-book/th....
After the 8th, the book will go back to $2.99.
Again, thanks for the platform and be well.

Oh! P.S. Corey: I went to the link you listed to promote books that are free and on sale and there was no button after filling out the information to send it...?


message 7: by Corey (new)

Corey (coreyjf) | 16 comments Not sure what's going on. You're the third person who says the submit button is missing. Will have to look at it tonight. Can't seem to replicate it. What browser are you using?


message 8: by Corey (new)

Corey (coreyjf) | 16 comments Rayne who is your house. Top 5 or mid sized no, but smaller houses I would consider indie. Not just freebies but any sales.


message 9: by [deleted user] (new)

Hi Corey,
I'm on Firefox.


message 10: by Corey (new)

Corey (coreyjf) | 16 comments Odd I have tried latest Firefox on both Mac and PC. Does it look like anything might be blocking the button?


message 11: by [deleted user] (new)

No, I just scrolled all the way down after filling out the info. and there was just no button, just the reviews for your book (congrats btw). It's OK, I think I don't qualify anyway...? I self-published through Lulu.


message 12: by Corey (new)

Corey (coreyjf) | 16 comments If your doing a sale through lulu or freebie. It's ok, but from a price and distribution point you should look at lightingsource or createspace for either your next work or as a second edition for your first. Cheaper and better options now a days than Lulu.


message 13: by [deleted user] (new)

Hey, thanks for the advice. I'm planning on releasing a print second edition that is, of course, far better than the e-book. I was actually considering moving it from Lulu to Amazon's KDP program, but I'm not that picky about the e-book, and KDP seems a bit too complicated in terms of distribution/price set-up. I just really needed the platform, and Lulu is still pretty viable as an option for an e-book; it offers good deals. I wasn't planning on using them for the print edition.


message 14: by Corey (new)

Corey (coreyjf) | 16 comments KDP is actually pretty easy to upload. You biggest debate would be if you are going to use select or not. It takes files in Word, HTML, ePub, plain text, rtf, adobe PDF

Stephanie Lahart (1stephanielahart) Overcoming Life's Obstacles by Stephanie Lahart is available for FREE on amazon KINDLE through 4/28/13. A MUST READ for all!!!

Rayne Golay (RayneGolay) | 75 comments Corey, THE WOODEN CHAIR is published by Untreed Reads Publishing, a small e-book publisher. I love the support and marketing help I'm getting. They were very good in accommodating me with the book cover, although the contract is clear that the writer doesn't have approval right. Nonetheless, they listened to my comments and redid the cover twice.
A few years ago, I self-published LIFE IS A FOREIGN LANGUAGE, now available at both B&N and amazon.com in trade paper back and as e-book, but I wouldn't renew the experience.
Best

Tami Egonu | 2 comments Hello to you all,

I have an eBook available on Amazon, which might take your fancy (promo price of £2.05 / $3.19):
A Rhapsody of Dreams

A Rhapsody of Dreams is a literary contemporary fantasy dusted with romance, ghosts and the hunt for magic.

Tired of the monotony of life, Tyler hangs onto a magnificent balloon that takes him far above his London office. Seeing countless other daydreamers, Tyler is snapped back to reality and immediately abandons his stale life in search of inspirational impossible happenings. However, his travels around a world void of magic makes it hard for him to keep believing they exist.

Meanwhile, at a Georgian house in Yorkshire, Tyler’s long lost first love, Molly, encounters a heartbroken and bitter poet. But nothing is as it first appears in this story of a powerful enchantment, a field of magical sunflowers, a memory tree, and the search for love … even beyond death.

Thank you :-)

Victoria Murata (vickyzzzz) | 16 comments Journey of Hope
Hi everyone,
I am offering my book Journey of Hope free this weekend, May 18-19 on Amazon Kindle. I hope you will give it a read. It's historical fiction about three families--and particularly one young woman--on the Oregon Trail in 1852. I took four years to write this book, and it's carefully researched. I've received good reviews, for the most part, and I am wanting more. Thanks for your support!!
