Mathewson has succeeded because she's focusing on what she's naturally and particularly good at. <br /><br />It also happens to be highly profitable.<br /><br />Equally, Smashwords continues to be right on the cutting edge of the increasing momentum for change in publishing.<br /><br />Great work Mr Coker.Jonathan Gunson - Writer.

Just goes to show how important a professional cover is. You only have one chance to make a first impression on a reader. If they see a good cover, they'll probaby then read the book description. If it's a poor cover, they skip on.<br />John Dwyer, author of <a href="http://www.smashwords.com/books/view/8310" rel="nofollow">High Road to Tibet: Travels in China, Tibet, Nepal and India</a>John Dwyerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11781502571158434265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7436915084701775452.post-69558922470741277012012-07-17T17:26:27.077-07:002012-07-17T17:26:27.077-07:00Updated covers did that?

My biggest issue is sales reports from the sellers such as Apple.. B&N, everyone except Smashwords. At SW I make a sale and know about it soon after. I can't tell what promotions work for the other distributors though. Can't they be set up to send us an email about a sale as well? Sure would help us figure out what works in the fast changing markets of today. Getting a sales report once a month (or longer) really makes promotion responses hard to figure out. <br /><br />OOPs.. sorry.. didnt' mean to rant.. once again. .congrats to RL and all the romance authors. Don't forget us poor little Suspense/thriller authors. :)<br /><br />Chas Wells<br /><br />https://www.smashwords.com/profile/view/ChasWCharles E.
