For non-fiction it's 50-50. We're selling over 1,200 ebooks a day and sales have over doubled every month this year. <br />We learned a lot of hard lessons, many of the same ones you note.

I will review your words as it applies to my business. I am in the Northern VA area and have seen your accomplishments. You two are doing well. Keep up the excellent work.<br /><br />Malcolm Petteway<br />Rage Books LLC<br />www.ragebooks.netMalcolm "Rage" Pettewayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17356921526554302845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1311335624850028436.post-67784254515405449812011-06-18T04:19:21.308-07:002011-06-18T04:19:21.308-07:00I love that you did this.

I mean, really, if you plan on consistently putting out books, it's better to have a press name attached to your work than self-pubbed stigma. I'd love to learn more about this! I shall check out your site!PK HREZOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11650153097981426833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1311335624850028436.post-77637250172812213932011-06-17T18:57:25.713-07:002011-06-17T18:57:25.713-07:00This is great information!
