  • The Secrets to Ebook Publishing Success on March 29, 2012

    I've heard some of this advice before (like setting some book prices at FREE). But in this book it's worded in a way that makes me rethink my previous stance, and then backed up with interviews, survey data, and sales figures. Every indie author/publisher should read this book.
