I will get the hang of the gif. I will be working on it tomorrow.

Oh, either way, about the coffee..

[Carole]

Let me know if this worked. If so, I 'll be having a party!

[Carole]

I can't believe I did it!! Holy crap, Amy, just think what your novels will teach me.

[Groovy]

You did it, Carole! LOL! What have we created? I like the anthology, too. Hope you get a lot.

[Carole]

Thank Groovy. I am so excited. My kids are going to be complaining very soon.

Well done though. Even if the gif could fry someone's visual cortex! :)

[Carole]

You want me to find another. I just wanted to make a big splash!!! I'll find the more tasteful ones Alexis is good at.

[Amy]

I haven't got anything for the anthology. It's been about 20 years since I wrote something that wasn't erotica (ok there was a 10 year gap when I wrote nothing at all)

[Carole]

I'm so proud of my self...High five!!!

Aw man.

I am unstoppable- I just was able to do it on my little laptop!

[R.L.]

I've missed a lot! The anthology looks like fun!!

[J.]

It looks awesome!!!

[Alexis]

Guess who had the most read post today on NI.com?

Yup, the author who added the word "Sex" in the title to get attention. Lol.

[R.L.]

Lol

[Groovy]

I should have thought of that:)

Yay :)

a) Most of them were probably me checking it wasn't awful. Or
b) yeah that's why I did it!

Re the anthology what is the deadline and the upper and lower word count for the short stories?

[Amy]

Chocolate is good. I love chocolate. Also coffee, very good at coffee.

Is there a thread with information on the short story anthology? I may have something, but it is most definitely short.

[Amy]

It is commonly understood that I do not have blood in my veins it is pure coffee.

[Alexis]

Groovy - you asked me if I had received your article in one thread. I think I might have deleted your comment by mistake. Sorry! Yes, I got it! I'll emai you once I've gotten the chance to read it carefully.

[Groovy]

I deleted it, Alexis. **grinning sheepishly** I felt bad about asking. You have enough to do without me adding to it; you'll get to it when you can. I just wanted to make sure I sent it to the right place.

And no problem, no hurries. Take your time:) Have a fun weekend.

Have a fun weekend, Everybody!!!

[C.C.]

Alexis - thanks for posting my article.

I'm blown away by the fabulous job you're doing with this website. Wow! I've been showing everyone I know. The layout, pics, and fonts look so professional. It's a great balance of content with a fresh feel - it's something you should be proud of.

[Alexis]

Woohoo! That's awesome!

[Erica]

Yeah!!!

Thanks Alex!
The best way to reward us is to promote the heck out of this thing, and I know you will certainly do that.

[J.]

Very nice!!

I am just happy to be able to help you out. :) Let me know if there is any other info you need me to collect.

[Ember-Raine]

Deleted my comment from the other thread because I realized it was in the wrong place!
One of my books is going to be free but the other is going to be .99 in the U.K. Store do I say that or just say that it's going to be regular price?

Go ahead and give me all that information. It may get simplified down if it seems confusing on the webpage, but at least we will have the details if we need them.

[Ember-Raine]

Ok great! Thanks Erica!

[Groovy]

I have a question:

I want to price one of my books at .99, but I only have two choices on Kindle site, do a countdown or free. I see some listing theirs at .99. So, if you did this by way of kindle, can you tell me how?

[Aislinn]

Hi Groovy - You don't do it through the Kindle select page, you do it through your pricing page. When you look at the book on your Amazon bookshelf and hover over the three dots, it should have an 'edit pricing details' option. You change it in there. Hope that helps!

[Christine]

Erica,
When do you need the pricing information for our books? Is there a date you want the info by?

[J.]

Hi, yeah, I recently changed the price of Start Again to 0.99 and Start Over to 2.99 (if you could change that... sorry).

Aislinn is right, but if you'll also have to go with a reduced % of royalties as well. If you're set for 70% you can't go below 2.99. To get to 0.99 you have to do 35%. Hope that helps!

[J.]

Also, the blurb for Start Again isn't the correct one. Sorry, I should have looked closer, but it was hard to tell unless I read the whole thing. I can post the whole thing on here, but here is the link for it on GR. Sorry!

Hi J. If those will be the new prices for the event, please list them in the thread for prices https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/... I want to make sure I dont miss anyone while I am getting the information together. Thank you!

I would like to have all the information by the 16th. Thanks!

[Alexis]

I love the fact that everyone is sharing the website and articles around. But now keep getting e-mails from authors wanting to be included on the website.



But the deadline was March 5.


I'm going to have to add a NO LONGER ACCEPTING SUBMISSIONS banner somewhere.

[Carole]

Wow-tell them to join, participate and watch for the next one in what...three months?

[Alexis]

Oh that's a great idea. I'll link them to this group!

Thank-you, Aislinn, that was helpful. But now I know why it still won't let me:)

Thanks, J., that explains it. Now I understand:)

[Amy]

It's great that there are still people wanting to be involved in the web site. Love that.

I'm unsure what to do with my pricing for the event. I've put an entry on the pricing thread for 25% off and am almost convinced I'll stick with that. My $ price is an odd one regular price is $3.72 because I'm working in £ and have a £2.99 regular price.

I've checked Smashwords/iBooks and the regular price is listed as $2.99 (it's free at the moment for a few days) I wish I could figure out what to do for the best. I'm still very much allergic to practically giving it away on a permanent basis.
