Lynne Connolly is a great writer. She made a bold choice concerning her writing a very long time ago and hasn’t regretted it since. If any writer out there knows the ups and downs concerning Epublishing, it would be Lynne. She recently wrote an article which pretty much updates all other information out there concerning Epubs.
So if you are a writer and want to stay up to date concerning things…
Have a look.
The State of Epublishing Today
Quoted from the article:
I write for three of the biggest epublishers – Ellora’s Cave, Samhain and Loose-Id, and my income is – well it’s in five figures, which is what a midlist New York author can expect. This is not unusual for an author for the largest epub houses, and it’s no longer confined to the erotic only. My Samhain historicals are highly sensual, not erotic, and I’ve featured in the Samhain list of top ten sellers several times, as have other non-erotic authors.
I am fairly prolific, but a lot of that is reissues. My editors are as exacting as you’ll find anywhere, sometimes more so, and I have at least two for each book, and extra editing for print releases. I’m not showing off, I’m just tired of people saying that epubbed authors earn miniscule amounts, and then quoting someone from one of the smaller epubs. The majority of sales don’t lie there. Authors write for them for various reasons – to get into the market, because they’re friends with the owners, because they’re happy with the editing and cover art the house offers or because they expect the house to grow and want to grow with it.
