I admit, I’m very very new to this whole thing. But I don’t like the sound of this. Because yes, it really isn’t fair that Big Fantasy Epic costs the same as Overdone Highschool Romance. It doesn’t seem fair. But with this new Amazon plan, I’m thinking about the really incredible small books. If a book is absolutely amazing but is rather small, it won’t make as much money? That is what this sounds like to me, although I could be completely off.
Honestly, I just don’t like when things are converted into data. There’s no life in data. I want my book to be #1, not #1 but with only 87% completion. Books can’t be put down to numbers.

Wow. Not even sure what to make of this! Could be a big game changer. Seems important enough to pass on, so I did!

Reblogged this on Tethered Together and commented: Hey, author friends! This seems like pertinent info to get on your radar--and my mind isn't able to wrap around it yet to explain it intelligibly. Besides, why reinvent the wheel? There's no way I could improve on the information that Kristen Lamb shares in this post!

In reply to J. Conrad Guest. The way you describe how Amazon could be butting into the writing process does scare me. Are writers no longer going to write literary novels for fear that readers will skip ahead to the fun parts? Will one style of writing dominate because that is the book that most readers will finish? AGH! I understand the reprimand for people who abuse through KU system, but there will always be people who abuse systems no matter what they are. For now and into the future, I will keep my ears and eyes open.

Just wanted to add that, ummm, you DID make it very clear (in reference to one of your commentors) I understood your angle perfectly. And I think topic is HUGE.
I’m not sure what I think about this. I’m scared on one hand and intrigued on another.
Thank you for bringing this to my attention. I had noooooo clue this was happening.

And thank you for your imput…I trust you implicitly!

Have a wonderful afternoon 🙂
