One of my Indie titles has soared, but the other has been a disappointment. I've decided to stick with the Wild Rose Press for most of my books, and publish a few stories on my own. Mix it up a little.

Also there are too many books offered at low price, as a result the sales have decreased by a third according to my experience and what I heard from other indie authors.Mona Riskhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14923883333893160794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-588376429247025873.post-13390224951071809492012-08-18T10:26:14.145-04:002012-08-18T10:26:14.145-04:00You've done incredibly well, Mona, and I'm...You've done incredibly well, Mona, and I'm so happy for you. In what way has self publishing become more difficult? I haven't had anything new up now for about six months, but will be putting up something soon. Patricenoreply@blogger.com
