Nothing to complain about! One of the hard realities of publishing is that not every book is going to do well. Most publishers rely on a few top-sellers to keep their margins up, while publishing other work that's less lucrative because the flip-side of the calculation is having a good list. That's going to be equally true of self-publishers. My take? Nothing too much to worry about...and even if it seems to tank, every sale is another $2.99 income that the author wouldn't otherwise have had.Matthew Wrighthttp://www.mjwrightnz.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2127843717520791763.post-33030132089440919582012-11-24T11:18:53.669+13:002012-11-24T11:18:53.669+13:00My advice would be - don't unpublish at any co...My advice would be - don't unpublish at any cost. Except, of course, if you find you've made a horrible blunder. Lucky lady to have sold that number of books in 8 months. I wonder why she's whingeing? Maybe the book just wasn't up to scratch in the first place.Jennyhttp://www.jennyharrison.co.nznoreply@blogger.com
