My name is Ahman "Zephaniah" Jones and I am a young novelist specializing in speculative fiction, fantasy, and science fiction. I have written two books so far in college and I'm still waiting for reviews on Amazon. It was always my dream to become a novelist but I never realized how complex it would be. I feel like my dream is so far away from me I'll never be able to reach it. I wish it didn't cost me to promote my story because I don't have much. My family doesn't have much. Hopefully, with your help, my dream will finally come true.

I checked out your book on Amazon. I think you have an intriguing story, but I wanted to give you some advice to try to help you gain readers. I hope that's okay, I just want us all to be successful. You can take it or leave it. Try adding more action to the blurb, something that will grab their attention.
And, $8.99 for a 36 page book (I believe that would be categorized as a short story) is way too high. Most indie (full-length) books are priced around $2.99-3.99.
Good luck! Keep writing! ❤
Great advice M.L. Nothing like a great blurb and a reasonably-priced book to draw readers. As the great Al Jareau sang, "We're in this love together". Our love of the written word is what holds us all together and honest advise and an open mind will lead us to literary bliss. Keep sharing good tips. The more we give the more the universe brings back to us. Happy Easter to you
