There is no shame in self-publishing, not in this day and age. However, we'd strongly encourage you to hire a graphic designer to make your cover instead of using the templates provided by Amazon, etc. Readers DO judge a book by its cover and they CAN spot templates.

As a longtime publisher, the arrangement with

burns me, especially returns. Did you know stores don't buy the books and can return at any time? Its essentially consignment. In theory, you could re-sell returned books... except the bookstores often mark them all up.

There is a corollary to this.
#Authors
tend to think social media activity is enough to sell a book--the more followers/likes, the more sales. In principle, yes. In reality, its not enough to quit your day job. So... how DOES one sell a book? I have my answer, what is yours?
Over the years, we've struggled to hire a publicist that was effective. Why? Because almost every one of them thought that publicity = managing social media accounts. That may be part, but its the easy part. Actual publicity is hard work. And therein was the problem.

Daredevil was good because it was formulated before Disney could get their slimey hands on it. We should have known better, in retrospect they should have just allowed Daredevil to stay dead, like Palpatine. Season 3 was a good conclusion.

“The Brothers Karamazov” by Fyodor Dostoevsky is one of Western civilization’s greatest literary treasures. The power of Dostoevsky is testified by the fact that so many other great leaders and writers drew inspiration from his writing, and “The Brothers Karamazov” in particular.

Obviously, if the book is damaged, return it. And if you really don't want it and it is undamaged, check with the author to see if s/he will buy back s/his own work.

Then, they pretty much forget about the book, and the bookstore does to. They move on to the next thing. (unless its Harry Potter, of course.) Small publishers with small budgets struggle to compete in this system.

I think stories whose protagonists are teenagers but involving adult themes can be appreciated by everyone. I consider Stranger Things to be an example. As adults were once teenagers and kids, it is easy for both teenagers and adults to relate to the child protagonists.

This also fuels an unhealthy and dysfunctional marketing system that favors big publishers. Since the publisher is on the hook for unsold books, they dump a huge amount of money at the book launch to clear out as much inventory as possible.

The worst part is they often exaggerate the negative aspects of the male version's personality, which they consider "girl power." All it results in is a shallow jerk.

You will find returns with stickers all over them, etc. Usually returns are simply destroyed. Meaning: the publisher has to eat the print cost of the book completely.

As far as I'm concerned, it places me in the same league as Franz Kafka, JK Rowling, Sylvia Plath and the many other writers who were discouraged or put down by their family. Best course of action is to prove them wrong.
