I am really enjoying being a published Kindle book author. I get a great buzz from logging onto Amazon each day to check my sales stats, whether my books have had any reviews etc.
I would certainly recommend self publishing to anybody who has grown weary of trying to get their work accepted by a conventional publisher.
I would also be interested in hearing from any other published writers too.

It's OK to promote your writing here - providing it's within reason. I think some authors here publish to Kindle, as well as other mediums. Looks like I've just replied to you at Vault, too...  Click image above to visit Alan Toner's site Horror Stories is a new collection of fright fiction by Alan Toner, author of the True Ghost Stories series. Twelve terrifying tales covering all aspects of the horror genre - from vampires to demons to ghosts - guaranteed to chill your blood and give you many a sleepless night! CHAMBER OF HORRORS - Sinister entities lurk within the bowels of a wax museum . . . much to the horror of a curator, who finds himself locked in there overnight. BEACH BABE - A single, romance-seeking guy encounters a mysterious blonde beauty whilst on holiday . . . and pays a terrifying price for his obsession. TURNING THE TABLES - A modern-day Dr Frankenstein meets with a gruesome fate when he tries to emulate the notorious mad scientist. THE MOUSE - An old widow is plagued by rodent in her new home. But is there more to this creature than meets the eye? These are just a few examples of the kind of terror tales you will find in this collection. If you love reading The Pan Book of Horror Stories and The Year's Best New Horror, then you are sure to enjoy reading this spine-chilling collection. |

I will admit the title of your thread seems a bit, well, half like an advert and half like you're just plain showing off  Don't have kindle so not gonna read any of your stuff just yet, probably. |

Is self publishing very expensive? How long is a piece of string? I think its not that expensive if you just want to put out a kindle thing but its probably better to have a go at the market first |

Sorry to sound like a stick i the mud but I don't think anybody is above the small presses. Think of it like a comdian doing pubs and clubs but with people questioning your sanity instead of being funny.  |

The writing is what counts, any success a welcome bonus. |
