Congrats on finishing! I'm very much looking forward to eventually reading it.

Congrats! and a question

[rfalken.livejournal.com]

Looking forward to getting to read it soon!

Besides purchases direct from SRM Publisher. What are the best methods of acquiring the latest novels? The reason I ask is that I want my purchase to help ask much as possible at Baen etc.

My local book store doesn't have Longeye.

Should I purchase through Amazon?

Through my local public radio station's affiliate program through Amazon? The get a cut.

Direct from Baen? Is that even possible?

Just wondering.

And again Congrats on getting the latest one done.

If you buy from a bookstore that is not Amazon*, Baen should get the same amount of money from each sale, and we should get our usual royalty.

It does look like you can buy directly from Baen (http://www.baen.com/author_catalog.asp?author=slee), in which case Baen gets a bigger piece of the action and we get our usual royalty.

I usually ask people to buy from their local independent bookstore, many of which are perfectly happy to order in titles.

----
*Last I heard, Amazon was asking a 55% discount from publishers. Bookseller discount is typically 40%.

That Baen order link is misleading – it just asks you to select an online bookshop.

(Conga rats:)

Awesome! Congrats!

I offer either asperin or Strong Drink - your preference. Or champaigne and fireworks!

[otterb.livejournal.com]

Yippee!

I don't usually buy e-ARCs but I may have to make an exception for this one.

e-ARCs

[mtz322.livejournal.com]

Oh do make an exception!
I've resisted the temptation previously, but succembed for the Fledgling e-ARC. Oh, my, was it worth it!

I read the other two stories first and hesitated about Fledgling for a while, having read all of it online in draft. Then I gave in. For me, having read, and re-read, and re-read the draft actually added to the pleasure of the e-ARC. I found myself both caught up in the story all over again, and, in a corner of my mind, chortling as I noted the fixes.

Very clean ARC too. Only noticed two typos. Hand left hand was one, and compliment where it should have been complement was the other. Now I just have to wait for the final part in the Webscriptions proper.

Wondering if authors get more if I buy the Webscription month or the individual Webscription book?

Honestly? I don't know. The royalty statements show us totals sold, AFAIR, not how they were bought.

Re: e-ARCs

[painoarvokas.livejournal.com]

I think I have read somewhere on the Bar that individual book sales are counted toward that book only, but Webscription month sales are counted toward them all, using some weighted method (which is probably explained in the authors' contract). Thus it seems to me that individual books are always better for the author. (But it is entirely possible that I'm misremembering this.)

Yay!

Does this mean the title is going to stay "Mouse and Dragon"? I remember seeing something a while back about how often working titles changed... but I was really expecting to see it this time. To me, Aelliana stopped being a mouse by the end of Scout's Progress, so the title seems kind of odd to me.

[rolanni.livejournal.com]

Does this mean the title is going to stay "Mouse and Dragon"?

I sure hope so. Though I guess we could call it Fred. Or even, yanno, Fred, The Novel!

Bloody Ripper.

[pbray.livejournal.com]

Congratulations! Hope you're taking a well-earned rest.

[redpimpernel.livejournal.com]
