    Honestly, the more I feel like a book is trying to sell itself to me, the less likely I am to actually get it.
    Books that are just what they are and don't yell at me to give them my money? Those are the books I'll buy. Because they're comfortable being themselves and they don't feel the need to put on a show just to impress random strangers.
    Books are like people in that way.

      @@dadestarmysteries255 I'm talking about flashy books that use the cover for more than just title, image, blurb. I like understatement and confidence. When a book looks flashy it gives me a feeling like the author trusts neither their own story nor their readership, and that's never a good sign.

    Thanks for the very helpful tips. Did you end up doing a video about logos and bar codes, or more specifically about setting up your own publishing company? I'd be interested to watch that as I'm not sure what I would specifically call that company, especially if it isn't publishing anything else except for that single book. Without knowledge of what to do there, that could potentially hinder the whole self-publishing process when it gets to that particular stage.

    • @BookLaunchers
      @BookLaunchers  6 лет назад

      Hi Anne - well, a few reasons. The most important reason is that booksellers want the machine-readable version of the ISBN number. The second is that having that bar code on the back of your book makes it look more professional and if you have your own ISBN number why not take that small extra step to make your book look as professional as possible?

      You could try crowd sourcing the edit ... have a bunch of people edit, put them all together in word, and then go through the edits that way.
