Edie here. I made a HUGE faux pas. I posted someone else's article originally here today. My sincere apologies to Traci, to Vonda Skelton, and especially to all of you, my readers!!!! I have uploaded the CORRECT article from Traci and will leave this up here through Saturday, October 17. What an awful way to introduce a new contributor. Track, please forgive me!!!
Now back to Traci's fantastic article!
I'm really excited to introduce you to our newest member of The Write Conversation blogging team, Traci Tyne Hilton. I've been a fan of Traci's for a while - I love her cozy mysteries. In addition, I've been looking for someone who knows Indie Publishings. Traci is a perfect fit. Be sure to give her a warm, Write Conversation welcome!!!
Last Book Ever

There’s an
old myth going around that the indie-path has no gatekeepers.
Sure,
there are no acquisition editors standing between you and getting your book in
the marketplace, but there are other gatekeepers, and they hold the keys to
your success.
The most
powerful gatekeeper is probably the book addicted Amazon shopper. If you don’t
catch the eye of that reader right off the mark, while you are still a new
release, you can almost say goodbye to sales on that title. (Almost. There are
ways to turn things around, but it takes hard work and money!)
Despite
the make-or-break power of the reader, the most important gatekeeper is you.
