Publicity costs

 Alan Place - Indie Writer

Curse of the Indie Writer

This week, I had to turn down the opportunity of publicity for my work as a writer, why?

I couldn't validate the cost of publicity, even though it was small. A $27 payment a month, may seem small, but that is more than I earn as an Indie Writer in a year.

One discussion could be the more exposure I get, the greater the possibility of recouping the costs, that is valid to a point. My position is that in my 15 years as a writer, I never earned more than $20 a month, that was back in 2011, when my eBook content was selling well. I haven't earned any royalty fees for several years from Draft2Digital
