I can remember Lyrical running me through six rounds that lasted five months--full-time editing, covering all the bases.chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18102098535430812058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3369390564947947263.post-42399972206481661782012-04-23T19:54:24.760-07:002012-04-23T19:54:24.760-07:00As a book blogger, I'm more likely to give a s...As a book blogger, I'm more likely to give a shot to a book from a small press than one that's self-published. Books from small presses tend to be well-edited and unique. I get the impression that small presses care about the individual authors and are by their very nature must make sure that there's a standard of quality to each book that they release.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3369390564947947263.post-3405238600204182812012-04-18T10:44:55.099-07:002012-04-18T10:44:55.099-07:00Thanks for the comment, Regge.I can well understan...Thanks for the comment, Regge.I can well understand the enthusiasm with having a book published even by the small press. Don't get me wrong, I do take a deal of pride in those accomplishments, and treat them no differently from the higher up houses. I hope we all learn from it and make those baby steps, so we can make the transformation to higher-paying and more recognized markets. I think it's a good learning ground for most of us, whether new to writing or established.chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18102098535430812058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3369390564947947263.post-34187466014516649972012-04-18T08:10:11.423-07:002012-04-18T08:10:11.423-07:00Hey Chris.

I realized frome the gitgo, that there is a stigma associated with small presses. They are just a step above simply sel publishing. But I tend to look on the bright side. The other authors at Echelon help promote with social media sources. The review on amazon and Smashwords on your behalf. They interview and guest post you on their blogs. For me it is a day to day learning process and I am taking baby steps trying not to make any mistakes. They have a catalogue of books and that helps people discover you defacto by association.Regge Ridgwayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13496938203092973538noreply@blogger.com
