Draft2 Digital is publishing all five of my TimeScape Science fiction novel titles on to the fable app as we speak. This's such an exciting development.

@@readEvafantasybooks - The current available Titles of my Series are TimeScape : The Prophecy,, TimeScape: Prime Target, TimeScape: Dark Horizon, TimeScape: Conspiracy and TimeScape: The Survivor's Instinct. The Title that I'm currently working on is TimeScape: Insurgent. All books in my series need to be read in the order that they're written since they all end on a cliffhanger which leads directly into the storyline of the next novel . Just so you know, there's actually an element of the supernatural within the central storyline of my TimeScape series.

This seems quite interesting! My biggest concern is that the Fable platform may end up being similar to the dumpster fire known as Goodreads, as it pertains to authors. Goodreads does not protect authors from stalking, fake negative reviews, nor will it allow us to have any control in regard to our book being uploaded on their site. Thus, I do not deal with GR and stay away from it as much as possible. I really appreciated how D2D/Draft2Digital over the years has been pro-author, especially pro-indie author, but now that they've hitched their wagon to Fable - which is more pro-reader, I wonder how that will influence D2D in the long run. (I listened to the live show but couldn't ask a question because I was driving at the time.) Anyway, this has me concerned that now readers who may have an axe to grind will have yet ANOTHER way to behave trollishly. Not a real word, but you get my drift. Not sure I want to sign up just yet due to these concerns.

Right on. She answered that concern later in the broadcast. If that didn't resonate with you, absolutely hold off. For me, I'm gonna give it a shot to see how it plays out. Agreed about Goodreads. I dislike the site.

If I already publish on Amazon. Does it worth publishing as well on Draft2Digital? I read Draft2Digital also publish on Amazon... this double publishing might cause some confusion? Expect if we can exclude AMZ from Draft2Digital maybe. Any idea?
@DaleLRoberts

You can use both, just deselect Amazon in distribution. Unlike KDP, Draft2Digital isn't an all-or-nothing situation. You can choose where your book goes. I use KDP, IngramSpark, and Bookvault for print distribution. I use KDP, D2D, Smashwords, and PublishDrive for ebooks. You just have to be mindful of overlap and deselect those avenues that overlap in specific accounts, allowing only one company to hit one retailer. I hope that helps!

Hello, actually i am running ads and i am wondering if i turned off all the ad compagins while 2 months would that makes these ads start from zero when i will turn them on again or they will continue based on the data that they had in the past

We can only speculate, but I think that you would lose relevance on that ad once it's shut off. Again, just a theory.

Wow, thank you! Yes, I have connections at every major self-publishing company, so that helps a lot. Stay tuned because I have a video in production where I hosted a roundtable of most of the major self-publishing companies where we talked about the future of the business. It was very insightful and eye-opening. That'll be launched on Fri., Jun. 28 at 6pm EDT on my channel here as part of the Authortube Writing Conference. I'll have a live Q&A directly following the presentation. The panel included reps from IngramSpark, Kobo Writing Life, Draft2Digital, Smashwords, Bookvault, Streetlib, Lulu, and PublishDrive. I can't wait to share it! Thanks so much for the kudos!

Thank you for the video Dale that was so interesting in more ways than one. I will take a deeper look into Fable because I need to see first if they accept Erotica (as my main genre is Erotic-Comedy) but it does look like that my other genres shouldn't be a problem.

I'm guessing based on Kim's answers, erotica is probably another hot category. With steamy romance one of the hottest topics, erotica has to be too. Just a wild guess though.
