J.A., I wish I...Nancy, thanks for the ISBN tidbit.<br /><br />J.A., I wish I could give you a range, but I haven't met an author yet that divulges detailed sales. LOL. This is specualation on my part, but I think what happens is Amazon and other platforms rank the bestsellers and those high numbers are used to negotiate book deals. I've known several authors who got picked up by the big sluggers over independent sales of some sort. <br /><br />How many books can an unknown e pub author sell in a month? Again, I couldn't tell you, but the sky is the limit. The success DOES come from aggressive marketing, though. I once mince words on that. One cannot merely stick the book out there and watch it take off...which I haven't really broached. Maybe in a different series. <br /><br />E.C.Chiseled in Rockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02545077591839974850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2582274004296638852.post-14059133543501200032011-01-07T14:15:47.430-07:002011-01-07T14:15:47.430-07:00Hurray for Lynda.

By the way, Smashwords makes you pick an ISBN because Barnes & Nobles and Apple iPad require it. So Smashwords is the publisher, it's free, but Amazon doesn't require it.<br />Nancy<br /><a href="http://nrwilliams.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">N. R. Williams, fantasy author</a>N. R.

And what about going both traditional publishing and e-publishing route? How does one effect the other? I know that isn't really what your post is about, but I'm curious about other e-writers thoughts.<br /><br />Thanks,<br /><br />j.a.J.A.
