If you let any other person or company host your website, they have the power to “cancel” you if they don’t like something in your book, something you wrote online, or even some of your social media posts. You may think you’re safe from this garbage right now but you never know which way the politically correct tide is going to move in the future…
Don’t even WORK with a publisher who upsells authors on these kinds of (bleep)…
“I’ve already had a couple of people tell me they bought his books instead of mine…”
“It is not my intent to soft soap you but I have learned that you have a habit of telling the truth as you see it so please tell me…”
If an author has any enemies (or suspected enemies), I recommend he or she remove those people from their social media friends’ lists, as well as their email lists long before marketing of a new book begins…
I haven’t been paid a dime, but there are used copies of my book on Amazon. Well no, those aren’t really used copies.
Research is beginning to show that there is a downside to reading books on an electronic device.
“If Amazon can blatantly rip off a vendor’s hard-line design, what’s to stop them from hijacking an author’s book?”
While I won’t get into the politics of it all (Heaven knows we’re all drowning in that stuff right now), this all serves as an important reminder that what we buy electronically may not always belong to us…
Why in the world would Amazon let people who’d completely used and benefitted from a product “return” it for a full refund? I know why!
