The bookmarks are here. Another nice (and rather inexpensive) way to promote the book. Jukebox Print threw in 50 complimentary stickers as a Cyber Monday special. These look nice, too. It took me a while to choose which link I want to put in there. In the end, I chose the link to the book page on allauthor.com, which in turn points the reader to my amazon page, to my newsletter and my allauthor.com profile.
Luckily, I chose not to put a direct link to my beehiiv page, since that can soon change. I’m thinking about switching to Substack. I'll try both briefly (probably until the end of the year) and then decide whether I want to keep the beehiiv or move to Substack completely.
Meanwhile, I have launched the Amazon Ads campaign—something small, auto ads, with just a $3 daily budget. Let's see how it works, and if it's actually worth anything, especially with the audiobook not yet ready.
Speaking of different formats, a large-print book would be nice, but I wouldn't want it to cost $25, if not $30. Comparing the old and the new prints - the new hardcover now has the same font as the old paperback (Cambria 11, instead of Lora 11), and the new, thinner paperback now has Lora 10, which is about 0.5pt smaller than Cambria 11.
And, yes, the audiobook is coming soon, hopefully - before the end of January. I registered on ACX, let's see how that works. And I'm still exploring indie studios to see if I can get a better deal for a dual narration. People who struggle to read a paper book could soon have someone else read it to them.
By the way, have you tried the ProWritingAid Virtual Beta Reader? I tried it this summer, when I was self-editing, and here is my impression.
Have a great week, everyone, and happy Hanukkah to all who celebrate.
Cheers,
Leonard.
