@Luke Fellner Thanks, Luke. I’ll definitely give that a shot!

This may be a dumb question, but does anyone think naming my book "The Burned" is weakening the title? Would it add power if I just titled it "Burned"?  Sometimes the littlest touch can make a huge difference, I’d like to hear your thoughts.

I am equally interested in how this plays out. Eager to see how things grow with this facet of the business. Seems to me it could give light to authors that don’t really know how to market. I have seen a number of outstanding projects here, where it just seemed like the author felt like a fish out of water. The work was stellar, but they just didn’t know how to get the word out. Hope this helps those folks!

I enjoyed the first chapter. You did a great job at establishing the setting and setting the foundation for the story to grow on. There are a few areas where the words bunched together, you might want to skim through and fix these. I personally wasn’t too bothered by this, but a lot of people get touchy when it comes to individual words. Good job and keep up the good work!

Great idea. The more routes to publishing the better. And interest in a project isn’t always just a case of money.     

I hope you all are having a wonderful weekend, I’m very excited for The Burned to be up for preorder soon. The moment I have a bank account open my campaign will begin. Please tell all of your friends in the mean time, and highlight your favorite quotes from my story so I can post them on social media. We can do this!

The only reason why I am considering doing this is because i have a tiny circle of friends and family. only about 20 people have actually bought my book from that circle. (some of them only because i twisted their arms to do it)
I am very thankful for them but at the same time I know I need another source of exposure. And if this is the way, then great. I hear what you are saying though. They do post dozens of other books everyday. But, thats the thing. Thats a good thing! I dont mind being one voice amongst many. All i need is a couple dozen, or even just 10 to feel like it was a success. For the amount it costs compared to how many people there are that could possible buy my book, I feel its a necessary risk.
From what Ive seen they have somewhere in the neighborhood of 200K followers across theyre social media Network. I wouldnt be surprised if about half of those are either repeat accounts or ghost accounts. But that still leaves 100K followers. Thats WAY more than I need to be able to see my book. if even .1% of them decided to look at and buy my book, that would still be 100 people.
