Series

As I’m working on this series, which I started last year and have now picked up again and is also still unsettled with a name, I’ve been considering totally self-publishing the books when they’re ready. By that, I mean not going through a service like I’ve done with the past couple of books and more like I did with my Desert Sun series. Don’t get me wrong, the book publisher I used is fantastic. They make an awesome cover, format the book for both print and eBook, and distribute everywhere. With this series, though, I will likely go with Kindle Unlimited, in which case I don’t need someone to handle distribution. All I’ll really need is an awesome cover, and of course I’m willing to pay for that. Since my goal with these books is to get something in the hands of readers where they can binge on multiple books, Kindle Unlimited is where I think it’ll end up. And the thing with Amazon is that if you put out a book with Kindle Unlimited, you can’t publish it elsewhere, like Apple or B&N or Kobo. So, in my mind the question is: why go to the extra expense? I’ve put out books on Kindle before and feel confident I can do it again. And Amazon offers a print-on-demand service for anyone who wants a print copy. Seems logical to me.
