    About this ebook

    "I've got a great idea for a book. YOU write my life story and we can split the money."
    "You write books? Yeah I've always wanted to do that but I have more on my plate than you, obviously"
    "I'll probably write a book one day. My life would make a great story."
    Really? You think so? 
    Publishing has experienced a giant upheaval in the last half-dozen years, and doesn't it feel wonderful? Men and women who used to make us sweat for weeks for an encouraging word now find themselves on the other end of the bestselling book biz. We take an excursion here into the dark mind of a self published indie. Some random thoughts on pricing, marketing, the danger of colloboration, and standing on the precipice of a brave new world. Happy Publishing, indies!

      Some Thoughts for Self-Published Indies - Vince Iuliano

      About The Author

      Vince Iuliano has been writing stories, books, you name it, for nearly 50 years. Back in the dinosaur days of the 1970’s he would often polish a new short story and package it off to a magazine editor  -Alfred Hitchcock’s magazine, for instance.  Six months later he would receive a small curt rejection in the mail.

      These days he finishes a short story at 10 pm on a Saturday night. Within 6 minutes, he’s put it online and sold a copy in Australia and another in Japan.

      Times, they are a’changing.
