Nathan Bransford - The Forums

On the whole pricing issue, one thing David said in his blog today, about seeing the prices of other historical fictions in his ballpark--it's something I've been thinking about. I think different genres demand different prices. If you look at the top selling fantasy indies, most prices at $2.99. I'm kind of tempted to go back up a little in price, since it hasn't seemed it affect sales much. But on the other hand, if Dalglish and Arenson and the other big indies are all $2.99, do I want to charge more?


Readheads Review gave Children of Sun and Moon a great review.

[quote=excerpt]Maybe storyteller isn’t descriptive enough. Maybe I should say that Larkin is a storyweaver. His universe is chaos and brilliance and honor and destruction and love in once amazing place. I was completely captivated by the world that he crafted with the Solars and Lunars and cannot wait for the next book!![/quote]

If I didn't already have this thread, I'd post this in the squee thread. Because that made me squee. Yeah, I admit it.

Matt, that's terrific! What a wonderful review. That is so cool!

(And you could post this on the Squee thread, too.

I think you may be right about different genres having a 'sweet' spot for debut authors in terms of price. That makes alot of sense.

It's cool to hear about your journey - and good luck!

I'm far away from actually publishing, but I love hearing about people's experiments and what is working for folks.

Thanks seprus!

I did a fun interview about this recently, for the Open Book Society.

My latest release is out, a short story prequel to Children of Sun and Moon. It's $0.99.
