How do you control direct eBook sales as an indie author?

The big platforms take a dramatic cut of your profits, don't provide reader contact information, and can kick authors off if they think you're violating the rules... even if you aren't.

So what's an indie to do?

Selling direct doesn't have to involve building your own website or ecommerce store.

It can be as simple as joining Curios, the platform made for authors to sell direct, keep 100% of sales, AND own reader contact information.

Learn more about Curios and selling direct in this interview with co-founder Greg Keogh.

SAID IS DEAD. Or is it? Do you even need to use dialogue tags?

Action tags are the kings of showing over telling in dialogue, and when used correctly can deliver a far weightier emotional punch than dialogue tags.

Listen in for more of why these two are different, and why there's a clear winner!
