Its not supposed to be out ’til Jan 25th, but I just looked on Amazon and, fittingly, given that it is Public Domain Day, the paperback edition of my book is now available. But if $12 is too much, remember you can always download it for free.

This is really commendable, although I would add that instead of only offering the book itself for purchase, to also be open to the idea of having other merchandise (and with blog comments, you can even get direct requests or ideas from your readers) or even some sort of online donation system (if your publishers want a cut, then you could discuss that with them). I suggest these options for several reasons. First, some people will read the pdf file, love it, but see the separate purchase of the book as an unnecessary use of resources (tree and shipping wise) for something they’ve already read. Second, those who read the book, love it, but literally cannot afford the $12 for the book may still want to show their appreciation with a smaller donation. Third, those who read the book, love it, and think it’s worth more than $12 and can afford to express as much, can do so.
Love your second enclosure article by the way 🙂
What a generous comment. Thank you. I think those models make a lot of sense for authors. For me, this book has already given me more return — financially but more importantly in reader response — than I ever would have expected. But I appreciate the comment, and the compliment.
