Bitches love reblogging this post every Tuesday the 18th
My parents and I have wondered this for a long time.
Who writes those "about the author" descriptions for books?
I want to say it's the author but it's in third person?
Sometimes other people, sometimes the author writing in the third person. Then there's the "Odd and the Frost Giants" About the Author bit theory...
And it'll take a miraculous run of support to get it done. If you like - Strange fiction - Fun, philosophic storytelling - Intense, immersive sound design - A unique and fully crafted mythology Then you're going to love Heartglass.
This both helps me identify the genres and gives me ideas for how to combine them.
… I am excited and slightly scared
Amazon and Audible made it into their policy that you can return ebooks and audiobooks and get a full refund.
They actively promote this, making their book shop into a book lending service, de facto a library you subscribe to. That’s their business plan to encourage subscribtions.
The dirty thing, however, is that Amazon and Audible are making the authors pay for each refunded item. They will detract money, income, royalties, from the authors’ account. They’re not hurting from the refund, the author is.
Look, no-one is saying you’re not allowed to return an item if you’ve read the first 50 pages or listened to the first 45 minutes. Maybe the style is not your thing. Maybe you don’t like the narrator’s voice. Maybe the quality of the writing drops severely after chapter three. Go ahead, if the product is bad, return it.
What I’m talking about is that no one should be able to listen to a ten-hour audiobook or read through nearly an entire novel and still get a refund.
Most of the readers don’t know who’s paying for this business plan. It’s not Amazon and Audible, they’re still keeping your subscription money. It’s the authors.
Spread the word.
what if you got to the afterlife and it all looked like ispy sets how would you feel. i think i would finally feel peaceful
HBO Max and Cartoon Network right now:
“In 1404, King Taejong fell from his horse during a hunting expedition. Embarrassed, looking to his left and right, he commanded, “Do not let the historian find out about this.” To his disappointment, the historian accompanying the hunting party included these words in the annals, in addition to a description of the king’s fall.“
LMFAOOOOOO rip to that guy
Excuse me, what
You know it’s serious when hundreds of beavers is begging you to see the day the earth blew up.
