It takes your money to do it and gives you almost nothing back. The said I would have better luck taking a trunk full of books to a boutique and selling them on consignment. Their recommended way is to sell it through your own website or Amazon. Sounds like JK listened to that advice.Rusty Bieselehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14712589878687793602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1311335624850028436.post-89410393574543571512011-08-02T06:14:30.277-07:002011-08-02T06:14:30.277-07:00Joe Konrath talked about this too on his blog, and...Joe Konrath talked about this too on his blog, and I have to say, J.K. Rowling is definitely a business woman and I can't help but to respect that. Girlfriend is constantly coming up with new ways to make more money and to please her fans all at the same time. And since a lot of high schoolers and middle schoolers will ask for a kindle (or any other ereader) for Christmas to get the e-book version of Harry Potter, I expect some rising sales in teen ebooks which is perfect since I'll be publishing my y.a. books by then. :) See? Win win situation for everybody.<br /><br />J.K. Rowling not only validated self publishing, but is putting more money into my pocket and other ya authors alike.

I'm all about thinking outside the box as a business person and she's done that in more ways than one.LM Prestonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16624508396760965680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1311335624850028436.post-11773610402644436862011-08-02T03:29:23.535-07:002011-08-02T03:29:23.535-07:00Very interesting.

Things are definitely changing and it's really interesting to see someone like Rowling, who changed children's literature to begin with, doing something else to help change the industry.Kelly Hashwayhttp://www.kellyhashway.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1311335624850028436.post-24174796552789068892011-08-02T03:08:36.450-07:002011-08-02T03:08:36.450-07:00Wow.
