Why Ebook?

Why Michelle Chose Ebook Format
"Bottom line it pays better. Instead of getting $1 per book, I get 70% of the sale.

An added benefit is the fact, the technology of today allows authors a lot more freedom. I call the shots, I own all the rights, and I determine the content.

We are no longer held at pen-point to the big publishing houses, where too many good author's works end up on slush piles. A personal example of this is December of 2010, I received a call from a small publishing house who was interested in my work. By the time I was contacted, I already had 5 books released including the one that sat on the publishing house's slush pile for 8 months. They expressed interest in obtaining anything else I wrote. While flattering, it was far too late, I'd moved on into the Ebook universe and set up house with Amazon.com.

As this is being written, Ebooks are foraging on traditional publishers revenue, because of the loss there is and will be a flurry of lawsuits as traditionals try to recover their losses by ripping off their authors - another reason I'm glad I chose Ebook and Indie publishing.

There's a lot of information on the net that can help Indie authors like myself be successful. All you have to do is look." -Dictated to StravenLite, writer of this Wiki page, by the author.
