I put pbooks on my website and on Etsy, but I've only sold one novel - and that to a friend.<br /><br />But I hope to get to the point where people love an ebook so much they order the pbook as a keepsake. :-D<br /><br />Heck, pick me. I'll drag together the courage to read it, no matter how much the subject creeps me out!Deb Salisbury, Magic Seeker and Mantua-Makerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01513482264195697450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-173702747791230686.post-47051034103784942282017-07-03T11:38:19.697-05:002017-07-03T11:38:19.697-05:00I keep print copies for the few contests I enter a...I keep print copies for the few contests I enter and to give away in gift baskets and such. I sell maybe one or two copies of my self-pubs a year. My HQ books sell far more in print, but that's the demographic for the most part. I'm finally getting around to getting my last two MC books ready for print. That was on the list for this weekend.

Might be too late to be an author this year, but could be something to think about next year. Don't you have family in Michigan somewhere? :)Stacy McKitrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07898731847653710759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-173702747791230686.post-91999500331221406962017-07-03T07:12:16.233-05:002017-07-03T07:12:16.233-05:00My print sales are actually strong, both US and UK...My print sales are actually strong, both US and UK. But I think it's because my demographic is a lot older than yours is. <br /><br />Another advantage of print is that it makes our ebook price look like a bargain in comparison :)<br /><br />Hope you have a great week!Elizabeth Spann Craighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15625595247828274405noreply@blogger.com
