Hi Everyone (Again!),
Could you tell me your experiences with Smashwords. At first, I wasn't too keen on using them, but looking it over again, they seem to solve a few of my problems, making my ebooks have a more professional flare, without taking a lot of funds (which I definitely don't have) or time (the little bit I have could be spent writing).
1- They provide an ISBN
2- They can make my ebook available through multiple vendors without much work from me, thus- more exposure; I would supplement it with epubbing on Amazon/Kindle myself since they don't
Plus- I wasn't even considering Apple or Kobo, only Kindle/Nook. Bonus!
3- Would they be listed as the publisher? This would look more professional rather than my name as the publisher, or a made up, unregistered/unincorporated publishing "company"
I've already done a lot on my own- my own cover, editing, etc, and I'm just looking to FINALLY get it self-published, after spending so many years trying to get an agent and go the traditional route. I really just want to get my ebook out there...so...
Got any anecdotes, positive/negative experiences with Smashwords you'd like to share? Many thanks, guys!
