Found this article Dean Wesley Smith interesting. www.deanwesleysmith.com/the-new-world-of-publishing-counting-numbers/?utm_content=bufferdb96d&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter.com&utm_campaign=bufferAuthor's Summary:2013 is the first year of the new normal. Indie books are on shelves right beside all other books from quality small presses to medium publishers to the big publishers. You must be able to tell a great story, have enough product, and have the book look good and be priced right. Otherwise, your book gets skipped over. And if you are thinking right now, “I should do more promotion to get my books noticed.” Or “How will I get my books noticed among all the other books?” My answer to you is simply this: Write better stories. Keep learning how to write better stories. And write more of them. And write stories readers want to read. The readers will find you. That’s the way it has always worked if you act like a professional publisher with your own work. Now total up your numbers for 2012, file them away, and work on the next story or book.
