As some of you know, I have some titles published in A1AdultEbooks. Well, Stuart has decided to try giving Amazon a big FUQ! (The FU is pronounced 'Fuh' and the Q is pronounced just Q.)
Hi,
This email is going out to all authors who are registered on our sites as either self-publishing or Exclusive to us at Fiction4All and A1AdultEbooks and our network of sites.
Okay, most of you will now know that Amazon and others such as B&N and Kobo have recently blocked a LOT of adult fiction stories and I know times are tough. With just under one sixth of my exclusive author titles now blocked by Amazon, I am furious - and when I get furious, as some of you know already, I tend to come out fighting.
So, for all you adult fiction writers - welcome to our Adult Authors Co-Operative! Based at www.tabooreading.com, in addition to the royalties you are already earning from our existing sites, you will earn a flat 75% of the sales price of your books on Taboo Reading. This site is only available to my exclusive authors and those of you who are self-publishing.
Being a co-operative site - we need co-operation from as many authors as possible. To help us all achieve something, every author with a book published on Taboo Reading, has his or her own home page.
You can find out what yours is by logging into our author area at: http://wwww.fiction4all.com/authors/access.htm and then going down the left menu and click on the Your Author Pages link. On the next page, your home page on Taboo Reading will display, as well as any page you can link to on either Fiction4All or A1AdultEbooks as appropriate. All you need to do is take the link on Taboo Reading and use it in your blogs, on Facebook, Twitter or any other place you write or advertise and bring people to your home page at Taboo Reading.
If enough of us do this, it will bring a tidal wave of people to Taboo Reading who will find what you write without censorship and other non-adult meaningless garbage coming up when they search for what they are truly interested in.
Okay, we have to abide with what PayPal will allow in terms of content, but for most of you reading this email, basically if your work is okay with Smashwords (even if it doesn't make it to their Premium Catalogue) then it should be okay on Taboo Reading. Read our publishing guides in the author area to double check what we can and cannot publish.
Take a look around, tell your friends and let`s all party at the expense of the big sellers.
As of today we will be recording and reporting sales on Taboo Reading separately to our other sites - but the royalties will still be added to your existing account. We are building a separate leader board and best-sellers list as well and in a few days we will be showing those details purely based on what is selling at Taboo Reading - we just need some more data first!
We will be developing the home pages for authors on Taboo Reading further in the weeks ahead. So, if you have any suggestions, likes or dislikes please let me know. I can not guarantee to meet everyone`s desires as we have built an automated page generator to keep things as simple as we can for all of you, but I will read every comment and do what the majority feedback requests (if we can!).
When submitting a book to us, please remember to access the author/self-publishing suite at:
http://www.fiction4all.com/authors/access.htm
As always, I`d like to say thank you to everyone for your continued support and I hope we all have a great last few months of 2013. I`d love to see you all promoting your pages at Taboo Reading and for that site to make everyone a whole heap of cash just before Christmas!
Kind Regards
