I've had a few people ask if the books in my Outlaw Royales series are going to be released in paperback.

Intially my answer was no because each of the books is a short read (10k) words so I felt as physical books people wouldn't feel that they were getting a lot for their money.

However after quite a few people asking I took a tour on Kindle Publisher to review the pricing to see how this could work. I did a mock up paperback and this is what we ended up with:

The thing is due to the amount of pages which would be around 52, if I added the book magnet short story too. You wouldn't get a proper spine, so on your book shelf it would just be a black line without the book title. For Amazon to allow you to have a spine title it has to be 74 pages or over.

On the price point it worked out that I'd be able to charge around $5 per physical book.

So my question is, taking all this into account is a physical copy of the book something that you guys would want available for yourselves?

I’m trying to respond to a tweet for a client. We have a regular drip of quotes, and somebody responded to one just completely missing the point. 

And my passive-aggresive side is playing hell with me today. I want to be snarky and sarcastic and low-key bitch. 

Even though the client prefers that I respond. I may just have to say “fuck it” and like the reply. Otherwise I’ll be emailing the client wondering how they want to answer it, and it wasn’t a question so I’d rather not when I know they have EXTRA on their plate this week. 

It’s not that I hate writing press releases... but it’s definitely not my favorite thing. They’re just so...bland. Even when the subject matter is flippin beautiful, it’s not my job to write an article. My job is to entice REPORTERS to write an article and give them enough information for them to know if they want to or not. 

Granted, I have seen a couple articles where whatever theme I established in the PR was echoed, but... blergh. 

I hate godaddy... why do clients insist on using godaddy? It’s horrible. Their user control panel is overly complicated and it takes 4x as long to do anything, the few times I’ve had to call tech support I knew more than the tech support staff, and uptime can be weird.
