Bookcast Episode: 86: Reading, Publishing, and short fiction
Manage episode 420177851 series 3251773
Welcome to Episode 86 of The Bookcast by DL White. I'm excited to share updates about my latest book, The Pearl, a Black Diamond romance set to release July 2024. Subscribe to my newsletter for news, book sales, updates and exclusive content.
Speakin' of sales, today is the last day of my sale on Beach Thing, links are available at my store: payhip.com/booksbydlwhite. Discounted prices on various platforms are listed there.
Reflecting on my decision to move my books away from Amazon's exclusive programs, I talked about my strategy of diversifying sales channels to avoid dependency on a single platform. I began my wide distribution approach in 2018 and talked about my preference for selling through platforms that treat authors better and provide more significant revenue shares.
I also touch on my reading habits— I am significantly ahead of my Goodreads challenge goal. I discuss some recent reads, and share my thoughts on their impact on my own writing, particularly in the realm of romantic suspense and private investigator novels.
Lastly, I shared a piece of short fiction that I wrote. I plan to provide four parts to this story and as a discovery writer... I don't have a clue where this is going. Let's find out together!
