Paper vs. digital, an update

by David Batten-Hill

Hi All,

Following on from my previous question...

I've published my debut novel as an e-book (I've written and had published non-fiction twice before) with Amazon.

'This Son of York' has sold two download copies, one bought by a friend.This is just to say that, after a number of rejections and (so far) three non-replies from agents, it's nice to see my work 'out there', albeit digitally for now.

I've also put the MS up to Smashwords, which is far, far easier than Amazon's KDP. Careful formatting means the automatic proofreader AutoVetter hasn't complained. They check the MS visually so I'm hoping there won't be too much to fix. All being well, this version should be 'live' in about a week.

Meanwhile, I've been working on a website for my book. It isn't complete yet but you can take a look at www.tsoy.co.uk.

Sorry this isn't a question but I thought you might like a progress report.

Hi,

Well done with the site. Juts a thought: A first chapter 'example' to hook a potential reader 'client' might help.

Good luck...
