Hello !

The quick read:

1. Do you want to be listed as a Contributor to the coloring book on Amazon? Please reply if you have not stated in the Facebook group.
2. I will launch at a break-even price for December to help boost interest for all of our books.

The longer read:

We are SO close to having this coloring book live on Amazon... so close.

As I was uploading the info, I saw that I could make you a Contributor to the coloring book. I posted on Facebook, asking if this was something people would like and so far everyone who's replied has said yes...

But that is not everyone - thus this email.

I will only add authors who explicitly say they would like to be added as a Contributor since the coloring book will be connected to your author library - and you may not want that. But for the authors who do - I think it's only fair to give you that little extra profile.

Which will also boost the profile of the coloring book...

I have not made it to the end of the upload process where prices get set but this is how I will be doing it:

For the month of December, I will set the price of the paperback to break even.

I assume that will put it at around $7 assuming the non-standard shape does not increase the print cost. I hope this low price will make it more attractive to your readers to get an early copy.

Once we've all marketed to our lists, I'll raise the price to something that will give me at least a little bit or royalties! (This was way more work than I expected!)

And, keep in mind that I will also order author copies and at cost for anyone who wants them. With postage, assuming the same cost as my Romance Lover's Journal, that will be about $6-$7 per book. So if you have Amazon Prime and free postage, it may actually make more sense to buy it retail since the copies ship, on average, 2 weeks faster than author copies.

Now that I have all the systems in place...

As soon as this book is live, I'm planing to start 2 more coloring books like this one:

1. For paranormal romance only
2. For historical romance only

I'll let you know when the sign-up form is available to share.

Thanks so much for being such a fun colleague on this project!

Stay safe,

Donna
