Publisher's Desk For April 18th | printable version
ABBREVIATED ISSUE
This issue will be abbreviated because Richard has to travel to Illinois for his grandfather's memorial service. He will be terribly swamped so please don't send him any condolence messages. His grandpa was suffering from dementia and he's in a much better place now so Richard is fine. :)
While it may occasionally appear I do each week's issue all by myself, that's not the case at all. While I create the content, Richard is the one who makes it all look pretty online, as well as creating the email text issues. If you want to do something nice for him, please say a prayer for his family, or send some warm thoughts through the cosmos to his grandma.

BOOKLOCKER.COM - RATED "OUTSTANDING" BY ATTORNEY MARK LEVINE, author of The Fine Print of Self-Publishing. He adds: "As close to perfection as you're going to find in the world of ebook and POD publishing. The ebook royalties are the highest I've ever seen, and the print royalties are better than average. BookLocker understands what new authors experience, and have put together a package that is the best in the business. You can't go wrong here. Plus, they're selective and won't publish any manuscript just because it's accompanied by a check. Also, the web site is well trafficked. If you can find a POD or epublisher with as much integrity and dedication to selling authors' books, but with lower POD publishing fees, please let me know."
