I'm with you on that. I've taken years to get published, and finally went with a small startup publisher, because I knew I had a good product, but wasn't getting anywhere with "Big Pub." <br />If you enjoy mysteries (you're on Konrath's blog, after all) I invite you to listen (no signup required) to chapter 1 of my new novel on my website. Then check out more of it for free on Amazon or Smashwords. The book went through extensive, tough editing, and I believe it's better for it.

I said "over $128,000" and it's only three hundred and seventy thousand copies, not 3 million copies.<br /><br />Not sure of any one who is selling over 3,000,000 copies of anything in a month at the moment.<br /><br />But yes, you do make more money at the higher price. The key message is that you make a comparable amount of money ($128K+ compared to $150K+) but you sell a lot more books at the lower price.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05030057023434530521noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24294668.post-52787063118233350722011-05-01T02:12:14.137+12:002011-05-01T02:12:14.137+12:00I don't think you really did your math on this...I don't think you really did your math on this one. More copies at less money actually accumulates to more money.<br /><br />$.35 x 3,789,000 = $1,326,150<br />$2 x 75,000 = $150,000<br /><br />So actually, you can have both rather than just one. If more copies are being sold at a lower rate then this author is still making more money by selling at the smaller amount.<br /><br />Personally, I'd rather be read and rich ;PAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
