My 1st Kindle book is coming out and I need reviews. Anyone want a freebie?

I'm amazed at the lack of email I've had.........

I agree its hard to ignore, hence my ongoing interest from the sidelines. What are you doing about editing, layout and cover design for your novels?

I use professional subs when I can, but I can't always afford Layout options seem a little minimal with Kindle but I'm still educating myself, hence not putting out my baby as the first trial. I have a few designers and illustrators I use, for the NCP book I did the cover myself (photo is mine too).

I'm at band practice, will send emails later tonight or first thing tomorrow morning.

I can send it in a format folk can forward to their Kindle if they wish to

Colin, would you like a copy?

Yes please. I'll PM you my email address.

I understand exactly where Andrew is coming from. I have been encouraged by reactions to some of my longer posts on CycleChat (such as this one, which is only about 1,800 words, so Andrew's story is almost three times the length of mine); I too am having a go at writing something for the Kindle. Watch a space very similar to this one ...

I am not a writer, but many of you know how I like to tell my little tales on CycleChat. I thought I'd do what Andrew is doing and see if I can appeal to a wider audience.

I was thinking along the same lines as Andrew. So many books are being published for the Kindle every day, that an unknown author needs an effective strategy to get his/her work spotted.

I need to email it rather than make it totally publicaly available (thems the rules). I'll cheerfully email you a copy, you don't need a kindle to read it, and it's very much a single sitting type book!

Only joking!

I hope that you don't commute by bike!

(Well, it would be just lovely if you commuted by bike, but not with your Kindle strapped to your handlebars ...)

How fast can you read?

 

[Hill Wimp]

How fast can you read?

2-3 books a week normally. Taught myself to speed read some years ago whilst studying. May take a while to consider the review though.

@Hill Wimp

Not 70 mph then?

 

[Andrew_Culture]

So my first review is from someone with a broken pelvis!

 

[DCLane]

@Andrew_Culture - I'd have review it if I'd have received a copy by now

Anything to beat the exams (done ) and assignments I'm writing tonight.

 

[Andrew_Culture]

Right then, everyone who gave me an email address now has a copy. Please let me know if you've been missed!
