I hear Borders isn't doing so well now. I wonder how much they owe.

At 6:02pm on March 25, 2008, Melanie Glotfelty said…: Sure I'll join. The most recent reason that I've heard for the switch was from someone who finally sold a significant number of books to a local store, and then couldn't get them to pay for it. Actually someone told me that was the most popular reason.

At 3:01pm on March 25, 2008, Amber T. Kingston said…: Thank you for the kind compliment! I actually published the book on my own, by starting my own publishing company--Chrysalis Press--so I ended up paying for everything. It wasn't inexpensive by any means, but it did allow me complete control over the project, which was important to me.

I've met Hillary a couple of times while leading treks to the Base Camp. My book was published by Pilgrims Books. They have the largest book store in Asia. It is touted by many travel guides as one of the best in the world. Everyone says it's a movie waiting to be made. I'm trying to make a connection in the film industry.

You have some really impressive credits. I am most pleased to be your new "best friend."
Cheers,

At 8:22pm on March 24, 2008, Melanie Glotfelty said…: Unfortunately, the insight I have into self-publishing come from people who have thrown in the towel and gone with a traditional publisher. Apparently it's more than a full time job for a lot of people. But anything I can do to help...

Thanks for inviting me to join your self-publishing group, but I don't self-publish. Can authors of traditional published works join?

Thanks for the invitation. Seems you've had (and are still having) a heck of a wild ride.

Be well,
William

At 8:45am on March 23, 2008, Pol Mcshane said…: Thanks LInton for the invite to the self-publishing group. I did join up.

At 11:55pm on March 22, 2008, Jacquie Rogers said…: Thanks for the welcome and the invite. I did join the group, but I'm not self-published. Still, I just had a bookstore cancel my booksigning because they say my book is POD, which it is not. So self-published or small press--there are trials and tribulations as well as rewards.
