The book title is Another Ocean to Cross; my last name is Griffin. I like the idea of releasing the ebook ahead of the print book, too. I may try that next time.

Congratulations Ann! What is your book (or your last name)? I'd love to look it up. I actually released my ebook ahead of my print book, so I put one review quote on the back of the print cover, and I think I'll do that again next time, but I think you're advice about ARC's is great. I might plan that for future books. Good luck with KU, I'd love to hear how it goes for you. I know lots of people love it.

I began by going wide, because my book is quite international, and that worked at first. My sales, including sales I did myself at signings, are at 500, but have stalled. So I decided to use KU and will see how that works.

Thanks again.

Thank you dholcomb1! I appreciate the comment, and that you spent your time here! I hope some of it was helpful!

Yay! Congratulations Alina! That's exciting!

That's awesome Marian! I can't tell you how special it's made the process to work with my son on the covers! We had some back and forth on certain issues, and it took him a little while to get my vision, but once he did, he had it. I think the hardest part for him was realizing that while he could put his personal stamp on it, the cover still needed to fit my genre...and my genre, romcom, wasn't HIS genre. I'm so proud of him for the covers, and I have to tell you, they're prettier in print!!

I'll look forward to hearing from you!

Thank you Laura! There's definitely a lot of work involved, but I think there's a lot of work either way, just different.

I think it's good to try both paths, and learn what works for you. I'm excited to begin submitting my WF! Who knows what will happen.

Thank you for all of your support, and for having me here!

I'm so with you Fae! At least for now, I'm going to stick with soft publishing dates! I don't want to make myself crazy, and I want to feel good about the book! And thank you!
