  4. Reprints! Get your reprints

    This past week, I released three more short story reprints for sale: “Shared Space,” “Like Gold Upon Her Tongue,” and “The Relative Positions of Dead Things in the Dark.” (The stories are also available to purchase in Community of Magic Pens, Eighteen, and ParSec, if you’d like to support the publishers and get more than a standalone short story.)

    These are the last stories I’ll release for a while. Itch.io is an experiment (successful, so far: it’s giving short stories another chance to find readers) and I’ll continue to add the books to bundles and otherwise experiment with visibility.

    One of the other things I’ll practice is self-promotion. I make jokes about being shameless, but I know selling requires more advertising than I currently do. It’s easy to say “hey, I have a Thing published here!” once or twice, and let the publisher worry about sales; at that point, I’ve already been paid, and marketing feels less like advertising and more like a news update. It’s also easier for me to promote a project that involves other people’s stuff.

    Imposter syndrome. Consciousness of how gender impacts how works and words about them are received. A lingering sense that one shouldn’t seem too keen (I blame that on a combination of blue-collar northern English and Welsh sensibilities and the whole Gen X slacker apathy). They’re all real. I am old enough that I ought to get over them.

    Part of leveling up my business-of-writing chops is playing around with Vellum and GIMP. Part of it is checking analytics on views and sales. Part of it is just trying to increase visibility. (I’ve voluntarily hamstrung myself already: by swearing off a number of unethical platforms and advertisers, I have limited my potential audience.) So if you see more repetitive social media posts about reprints, it’s because I am practicing a new skill.

  5. Subscription revenue isn't the only source of money pulling some #journals away from #OpenAccess.

    "If a [#pharma] company publishes an article in the #NEJM, they may order several hundred thousand copies of the article to be distributed to… doctors…These fees are not trivial. The NEJM publisher…gets 23% of its income from #reprints. The Lancet — 41%. The American Medical Association — a gut busting 53%."

  6. Book Detective

    "There's a growing band of people digging through library stacks and second-hand bookshops in search of lost classics. I'm one of them."

    Wobbuffet posted Lucy Scholes' article "Meet the archive moles" about editors surfacing worthy forgotten or overlooked books for reprint, with links to houses publishing recovered works.
