Smashwords looks awesome

So I contacted Kobo Books about self-publishing and Stephen was hugely helpful. He suggested I check out Smashwords and / or Authorsolutions if I wanted to go through a digital aggregator that already has a pre-existing contract with them. I was thrilled by what Smashwords had to offer and the spirit in which it was provided. Reading their style guide and marketing guide made me feel like Mark Coker (the creater) really had us authors in mind and wanted to make it as easy as possible to get ourselves out there (while not setting up any false expectations). I know that self-publishing is going to be a lot of work, but for once it feels like fun work. I am looking forward to setting everything up and hopefully the Silver Hawk will be available in eBook a lot sooner than I had expected. Perhaps in time for Tehnuka to have something to read down on the ice this Christmas!
