The Workman is Worthy of His Hire

2010-01-22 16:07:52.860809+01 by petronius 0 comments

An interesting note from Roger Simon: Amazon is offering a 70% royalty to authors who publish exclusively on the Kindle. This is opposed to the 10%-20% offered by regular publishers. Of course, there will be no advances, and I rather suspect that your promotional budget will be $1.98. I think this would be very attractive to first time authors, and will finish off the self-publishing industry. However, will established popular writers find this a better deal? I guess it depends on how many Kindles are out there.

Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
