Fixed, thanks.

Henry Baum commented on the post, Ebook Formatting with Ebookit, Book Baby, & Publish Green, on the site Self-Publishing Review 1 month, 4 weeks ago

I can’t imagine you’d have a problem getting paid with BookBaby or eBookit. Bookbaby is a division of CDbaby.com, which has a long, solid history. My dad’s signed up with Ebookit and he’s received his royalty checks.

Henry Baum wrote a new post, Invaluable Reddit AMA from Author Hugh Howey, on the site Self-Publishing Review 2 months, 1 week ago

There’s a huge amount of self-publishing wisdom in this Reddit AMA from Hugh Howey, author of the Wool series (here’s the lowdown on a Reddit AMA). The main takeaway is that writers need to be patient. With all […]

Henry Baum wrote a new post, Should Authors Comment on Reviews?, on the site Self-Publishing Review 2 months, 1 week ago

Taleist has a nice posting asking the question: Should You Comment on Amazon Reviews?

My books’ pages on Amazon aren’t my pages, and readers don’t go there to find me. In my opinion readers should be able to […]

Henry Baum wrote a new post, The Smashwords/Paypal Debacle, on the site Self-Publishing Review 2 months, 1 week ago

Paypal hasn’t had a great few months of PR. First there was the Regretsy debacle, in which Paypal refused to process donations for kids:

PayPal demanded that Regretsy, an Etsy parody site, return its recent […]

Henry Baum commented on the post, SPR is Now Charging for Reviews, on the site Self-Publishing Review 2 months, 2 weeks ago

That is why so few reviewers dare to sign their work with their real name.

I don’t know what you mean by that. Most reviewers sign their real name.

I was just contacted by a BookBaby rep who offered SPR visitors this code to get 10% off on premium services: Springbk10

It expires March 31, 2012.

Henry Baum commented on the post, Creating a DIY Book Cover with GIMP, on the site Self-Publishing Review 2 months, 2 weeks ago

Thanks for this amazing post! I’ve created a couple of covers in GIMP as well. It has limitations (text manipulation could be easier) – but Photoshop can have too many options. For anyone daunted by Photoshop (or […]

Regarding today’s big publishing story (every day it seems like there’s another one) in which Apple and Big 6 publishers are potentially getting slapped with a Department of Justice lawsuit, Mark Coker comments on […]

Henry Baum commented on the post, The Smashwords/Paypal Debacle, on the site Self-Publishing Review 2 months, 2 weeks ago

That’s why I say that this still needs to be defended. Just offering my opinion that porn is obvious – which, honestly, it is. But I do understand Mark Coker’s initial reaction of following Paypal’s demands. To […]

Henry Baum commented on the post, Book Review: Starving the Artist by William Aicher, on the site Self-Publishing Review 2 months, 2 weeks ago

I get your point, but I’m not really talking about releasing the nuclear codes. I’m talking about access to fiction and non-fiction. Free will hurt these artists because they won’t be able to write new works […]

Henry Baum wrote a new post, Smashwords Partners with Baker & Taylor, on the site Self-Publishing Review 2 months, 3 weeks ago

Big news on the Smashwords front:

There are two components of the agreement. The first is distribution into the Blio online store and e-reading app. The second part of the agreement gains Smashwords authors and […]

Henry Baum commented on the post, Welcome to the New Self-Publishing Review, on the site Self-Publishing Review 2 months, 3 weeks ago

Thanks, Ron. I always have you in mind given that you’re a frequent commenter, and new content tends to lag when these site issues crop up. I can now focus on the things that matter.

Henry Baum wrote a new post, Welcome to the New Self-Publishing Review, on the site Self-Publishing Review 2 months, 3 weeks ago

The site may look the same, but it’s not. Step right up for a long and boring tale. Around 3 months ago, registrations stopped working for no reason. I tried everything to fix it – deleting plugins, adding […]

Henry Baum commented on the post, Counting on a Word Count, on the site Self-Publishing Review 2 months, 3 weeks ago

I think your math is off. 60,000 words should be around 160 pages. I think 150′s a good minimum for a novel vs. novella.

Editor’s note: I considered writing the title as F*gs – but that’s not the title.

Fixed. I guess that was my fault b/c I proofread this.

Henry Baum commented on the blog post Apple’s Self-Publishing App is Useless 4 months ago

Thanks, Mick. I’ve talked to some non-tech-headed people and they don’t think $30 and an upgrade is such a small thing. Beyond that, I think Apple’s taking too small a step. What they need is a self-publishing iTunes right now if they have a hope of catching Amazon, and these loops – small as they [...]
