I write sweet and steamy rom-coms with tear-jerker happy-ever-afters.

My Road to Publication

Author Earnings September 2015 and what it means to me

9/14/2015

First: the link to the September 2015 report. 
Next: Points that stood out for me -
Walmart will very shortly be carrying a self-published book on its store shelves
If only local bookstores / or even chain stores like 7-11 would do this, too!
The rise of Kindle Unlimited...
KU1 was great for my pen name, but unfortunately I went into it a little too late. KU2 stung because I hate the idea that we're paid by pages read. However, considering the stats shared by Author Earnings, I know I have to adjust. So, yes, I'm planning a KU comeback for my pen names. Will share results once I have a complete NEW series to market.
Amazon imprints have nearly doubled their market share, from 7% of all Amazon ebook purchases in February 2014 to 13% of all Amazon ebook purchases now.
For me, this simply means that Amazon will naturally provide books under their own imprints with better visibility. It's a good way to do business and it's just something that we need to live with and adapt to. C'est la vie.
Note: I have nothing to say about the decrease in traditionally published authors' earnings or reduced sales for trad-pub books because, well, to be honest - I feel like I have bigger things to worry about at the moment.

    Welcome!

    * Starting February 1, 2014, this blog will be dedicated to providing publishing tips for aspiring Filipino writers.
    * This blog is also where I share my theological views and how it affects my life and work as a writer. I consider myself an open-minded Catholic as I also have an uncle who's a Christian pastor. Luke 9:50 Jesus said to him, "Do not prevent him, for whoever is not against you is for you."
    I believe with all my heart that it is our personal relationship with God that saves us and NOT RELIGION.
    * Readers, the stuff you want may be found here.
