"I'm giving a holler about self-publishing. I'm with a top agent, but if he doesn't sell my novel, well, I've got to do it. Who did you self-pub with? Did you get a cover designer? Most covers on book baby and Amazon seem…"

Libraries will now be downloading E-Books on patrons Kindles
Posted on September 22, 2011 at 8:05pm 0 Comments 0 Likes
I have been following the self-publishing posts regularly, and now, how is a writer to make money if his ebook can be dowloaded free at the library? Do you realize that if a patron reserved a book he would have to wait his turn to read it. Now the libraries can dowload a book into 50 kindles in a day. Sigh.

Yeah I certainly understand Rochelle,
Ive joined like 5 or 6 of these kinds of places like SheWrites but it took a year before I started noticing that I kept coming back to this one and it sort of became an inspirational home base for me but I hadnt really gotten into any of the groups so I saw that you could submit a group so I made the group I wanted to be in, hence Blooming Late. I hope that you will share with us your needs from a group and see if we cant accomodate, your thoughts and ideas can only make us better!
This group has already inspired me so much! I hope it can do the same for you!

And let me pre- welcome you to my group that is only a few weeks old and are already 20 members strong-you would be 21! The ladies of our group are so supposrtive and friendly I cant believe how lucky I am to have them as members! And I know I speak for all when I say we would love to have you join us!
