I also highly recommend Peter Van Der Merwe, whose website will be launched shortly.

After I have decided to make my novel request only.

The reason for this is that, although many people have enjoyed it, I am not personally happy with the standard of writing and finish.

How much should an eBook cost?

I've been working on a for the UK. You plug in data about your sales, word count etc and it suggests a suitable price for your Kindle book.

How to price a Kindle book is a controversial topic and there will no doubt be people who disagree with my suggestions. Many indie writers feel that they should be able to charge £4.99 for their books, because they put a great deal of work into them. To some extent, I agree. However, if we wan...
