As I've said earlier,, put out your book in 3 formats 90 days apart and put out a collection of short stories -- and that gives you a whole year to write another novel that is a quality production.

We deal with it or we don't. Our choice.<br /><br />Like I have said: a story of ours in an anthology will work -- and there are a few anthologies out there asking for submissions.<br /><br />I have 11 paperbacks, too. And that is another way for you to be published every 90 days. Put your book out in print. Wait 90 days and put it out in Kindle format. And in those 180 days have an audio version made of your book, releasing it 90 days after your Kindle release. One book but THREE separate releases to keep your name high in the Amazon algorithm over nine months which gives you time to write another book to do the same thing all over again.<br /><br />We have to deal with the publishing world as it is. But if we are creative, we can do it.Roland D.
