I talked to 4 or 5 of their authors a couple weeks ago and they all liked Limitless so idk
^This.It depends on what questions authors are asked. If the questions are "Are you happy with your publisher?" or "Do you feel your experience with your publisher was a success?" the answers will be subjective. One PublishAmerica author defined "success" as her son buying copies of her book, so of course she was a success.
If questions focus on more objective factors such as editing, marketing, timelines, sales, royalties, etc. this is much better in terms of providing helpful information.
Limitless coordinates a cover reveal and a release day blitz with graphics for free. They have done giveaways for my books more than once. They have paid for ads for my books. The marketing department has also coordinated reviews for my books. I really think that is above average for a indie publisher.
There is nothing wrong with actual cross-marketing imo, but personally, I simply don't trust others to do for me what I do for them, or at least to the best of their capabilities as would I. Especially if they're better/bigger than me. Because they wouldn't get the same quality work from me.As for the community of Limitless writers, cross-marketing has been a really effective tool for me. I do it with non-Limitless and Limitless authors and it helps! I don't know why other people discount the effectiveness of this tool. When best-selling authors have posted a simple recommendation of my books on their Facebook page, my sales have spiked. What's so bad about that?
Depending on word count, that sounds like a very short deadline.The editing process has improved a lot over the past year. The editor generally gives me a 3 to 4 week window to complete 2 rounds of editing. Then, I get to look over the book one additional time after formatting to review for mistakes.
This may seem like a silly question but.... so do publishers not pay for book tours? I was under the impression that publishers pay for things like that.
It depends on the author and even then, they aren't as extensive and glamorous as portrayed in movies and on TV. I've mostly seen local authors at Barnes & Noble on a regular basis; once in a while, and very rarely, there will be a signing at the Mall of America but it's usually reserved for A Big Name Celebrity Or Politician shilling an autobiography that people will wait in line for two or three hours to see for less than 10 seconds.
LOL wut that's ridiculous. Who decided how many books to bring/buy?Truth be here. I've been set up for autograph signings at book stores, but it was under the condition that I buy all the books and, of course, provide my own transportation.
