"Hi Leanne, I would recommend finding an editor who has worked within the publishing system. It just seems like they are more likely to know what kind of books would sell.
I worked with an editor who I felt had a good feel for…"

"Tracey, Interesting book trailer. How did you decide to feature an interview with yourself rather than focusing only on the book? I think I would never be satisfied with a trailer that showed me. I'd keep tinkering and tinkering. Here's my…"

Ruth Mancini replied to the discussion 'Free downloads on Kindle -- Does it work?' in the group Novelists (Struggling or Not)
"I agree with what you've said and I suppose the 1 and 2 star ratings I have had have been balanced by people who have loved it. There would have to be a lot of 1 and 2 stars and no 4 or 5 stars for it to bring your rating down considerably, I…"

"Ruth, I agree with Petrea. I mean, I know of no author who gets all 5 stars. Even a very good book is going to get occasionally different ratings because some people aren't interested in the topic or don't like a certain character... it…"
Petrea Burchard replied to the discussion 'Free downloads on Kindle -- Does it work?' in the group Novelists (Struggling or Not)
"I think 4.2 stars is excellent. It's better than too high, because everyone thinks those reviews are all from your friends. I have a 3-star review on my Amazon page that I treasure."
Ruth Mancini replied to the discussion 'Free downloads on Kindle -- Does it work?' in the group Novelists (Struggling or Not)
"Sorry, that should say over 30 reviews on Amazon UK, not 5!"

"Your book looks fun, Petrea - I just checked it out.
I have till mid April to make a decsion about KDP select. The bad reviews do bother me because many of the promo sites will only take books with good rankings. Mine currently has a very…"
Petrea Burchard replied to the discussion 'Free downloads on Kindle -- Does it work?' in the group Novelists (Struggling or Not)
"A little of both, Ruth. My book hasn't been online for very long, and I wanted to give a few Nook owners a chance to get it (they asked). I will do KDP select at some point soon. I can always do it more than once, so although I'm making…"

"Hi, have got your book on my kindle Kelly - and like you, have a long TBR list but will get there. I take all your points on board. I'm curious to know Petrea why you haven't tried KDP select yet? Any reason? Or are you waiting until…"
Paulita Kincer replied to the discussion 'Free downloads on Kindle -- Does it work?' in the group Novelists (Struggling or Not)
"Ruth, I guess if the free downloads trials were reversed you would consider them successes, but since the more successful one came first, the second one pales by comparison. Interesting observations about the book reviews too. I got my first 3-star…"

Meg Waite Clayton said… Paulita, Belated welcome to the novelist group. If you haven’t done so already, you might introduce yourself by telling us what you’re working on in the “Show Me Your Novel and I’ll Show You Mine” discussion.
We do a live chat at 1 EST on the first Wednesdays of each month, with instructions on how to participate in the "Our Water Cooler" box near the top of the group page. And we save the wall for discussion, but welcome links to helpful blog posts on the “Links to Helpful Blog Posts for Writers” discussion thread and to published books in the “Our Published Novels” one.
I hope you’ll enjoy the group.
