My husband and I own a small company. We've been publishing information booklets - "how to"-type stuff. We're looking to expand this year. We're starting with book publishing and have 2 authors already lined up.
We've also been toying with the idea of publishing erotica as e-books. I will admit that I'm out of my element with this genre. I've written a little erotica, but I've not been brave enough yet to try to sell it. Quite frankly, it's been mostly for personal fulfillment.
So, here are my biggest questions:
Would you consider submitting your work for electronic publication?
How many words are your works? I was thinking somewhere between short story-length and novel length, but there's obviously a lot of room there.
Would you consider going with an unknown publisher, particularly if you were among the first authors?
What type of royalties arrangement would you expect to have? How often?
Beyond cover design, are illustrations necessary? A nice extra? Silly?
I'd appreciate any feedback you guys have. I'm usually on the writing side of the fence, so it's interesting to get perspective from the other side.
