and so glad something like this has been written. Very helpful.
Great resource for writers looking to e-publish - thanks for writing it!
It really is easy to publish online, or even if a writer is confident to produce and publish in paperback or even hard cover.
The world changed rapidly for authors with the invention of the internet. For those of us who constantly strive to be different, sites like this one allow us to test ideas before making the next effort.
It really is nice to not have to present to a publisher and hope that he/she likes the work, then IF accepted wait for the tiny check.
Remember that if just one tenth of 1% likes your work, and one tenth of one percent of those actually BUY the work...then you will be on the best seller list!
Thanks,

I only have two Literotica submissions under my belt, and much room to grow. Your article inspires me and gives me ideas for future submissions and my writing career. Thank you for sharing!
I am very impressed with the depth of ground you cover with this essay which helps writers all the more. Extremely thorough job. Also as important, the tone that you wrote this in lends itself to the helpful nature of the content. The information goes down so nicely because of the tone. Thank you so much for taking the time to write this!
Amazon's sales of ebooks did not outstrip their sales of books ... the sales of ebooks outstripped the sales of hardcover books.

You didn't read what was written very well. (And the statements I gave here were cited from sources--you're speaking from not having read what was written correctly.)
every point you've listed is 100% true. Since I was 17, I bought Romance books three at a time, every week. Yes, I have a library of older print books I cherish and reread when I can.
E-Books are the future, the way to go. Especially for authors of Romance.
Thank you for this in-depth analysis. Five stars for all your hard work and research.

That's really all I have to say. Your article was very informative and well written. It gives a writer a place to begin after the work of writing, rewriting, and rewriting is done.
A very well written article answering so many questions for an author. Very valuable and very appreciated. It's things like this that make you a TOP FIVE gay male writer on the site!
