    Sounds like a nifty service, particularly in promoting indie works, which don't usually have the same sort of marketing budget as mainstream publications. Thanks for alerting us to this operation.

      Thank you! That's one of the pain points we're trying to address, although we'll never be able to fully replace an indie author's marketing, we definitely hope to be able to supplement it 😊

    Congratulations on the sponsorship. Both books in terms of the overall look seem to be high quality and the packaging looks pretty sustainable, too.

      Thank you! Yes, the packaging is made of 100% recycled material that is fully recyclable itself as well.

    This does look good. I'm rather disappointed that they don't stretch things to include impoverished very small presses. 🙂
    I am tempted to try to talk them into taking on Bev Allen's 'A Solemn Curfew & Other Dark Tales'. She couldn't self-publish it, due to her chronic health condition. We took it on knowing full well we'd likely never recoup our costs, because we really love her, and her work. We don't care about the money, we'd just love people to read it.
    I do wonder, though, if their idea of doing a different genre every month might not cost them regular subscriptions.

    • @CriminOllyBlog
      @CriminOllyBlog  Год назад +1

      I think it's definitely worth you getting in touch with them.
      I kind of agree about your final point - the focus on the kind of author rather than the genre is different take on subscription boxes for sure. I hope it's successful for them though

    • @yourpaperquest
      @yourpaperquest Год назад +2

      Our submissions are always open on our website! Although we do specify and focus on self-published, exceptions can always be made under the right circumstances. There are more considerations when dealing with publishing houses, especially given that we handle printing and distribution, but we're happy to discuss such things! Our ultimate goal is to help support indie authors, whatever that might look like ☺

      @@CriminOllyBlog It could be made to work. I imagine they could give subscribers the opportunity to opt out of any particular box, simply by checking a box on their account page.
      I forgot to mention, by the way, that Necrotown definitely looks to be a good fit for Occult Detective October, and if someone was to fancy writing a review for the magazine, I would be glad to receive it. ;)

    • @davebrzeski

      @yourpaperquest Thanks. I'd rather hoped that would be your attitude. I shall contact you soon. The advantage is we could give you the pdf we uploaded to Amazon, which you would have to tweak, but it would save you some time.
      Bev has severe MS, and is pretty much immobile now, and she also had cataracts so bad she couldn't read, or write for ages. Thankfully, she's had one of her eyes done at last, and can see again. Add to that the fact that she's dyslexic, and you'd be pushed to find an author who has suffered under harder conditions to get her work read.

    • @yourpaperquest
