I’m your poster boy newbie. Never have written or published a book, but dreamed of doing so. It wasn’t until recently that I found the determination to get serious about it. Over the years I knew about platforms like Inkshares, Publishizer and Unbound, and dabbled with all of them. Putting my book idea up, checking things out, etc.
Now that I’m ready to pull the trigger and have all my pre-work done (premise, outlines, video, marketing), I’m ready to launch a pre-sale campaign.
What I’m trying to figure out is where to do it. I’m ruling out the Kickstarter/Indiegogo model, because that’s just about raising money and not really geared for authors. So it’s really come down to Inkshares vs. Publishizer (Unbound looks to be mostly UK based).
I just was hoping to get some insight from the community here if they had some thoughts/ideas on the differences between both of these platforms, the positives/negatives vs. both, etc. I know most here will be huge advocates of Inkshares, but I was hoping to get some good insight to a complete newbie to make the right decision.
I’m not really in it for the money for my first book. I just want to feel the accomplishment of writing one. If I’m any good at it, then perhaps later money becomes more important.
Thoughts?
