It's happened before. I think Ann Everett posted about this some time ago.

I would guess close to none, but that's not the point, it seems to me.

Yes!

Okay, I added the Amazon links to my books to the bio on my profile page. I think they work.

So how do we post those links, Sol?

Thanks for sharing that, Ann.

I just read the above article. It's essentially presented as a dichotomy - "indie" vs. "traditional" publishing. But it ignores a third category: independent medium-sized publishers. The article seems to be referring to large publishing houses who have publicity teams, pay for book tours, and pay advances when the contract is signed. The third category, with which I and a number of authors on TNBW are affiliated, do not offer those perks. They do the editing and cover art and support in ways I mentioned above. And they don't require an intermediary  agent before even looking at your book. In fact, some forbid the use of agents. Just wanted to make clear that a third choice is available for those who don't want to do ALL the work by themselves and are willing to give up being in total control to have it.

I agree with most of what you said, Suin, except for the marketing part. Even with a publisher, unless you're a big name that warrants the publisher taking out ads in the NYT, for example, marketing is pretty much up to you. On the plus side of self-publishing, you have total control of the product and reap all the profits!
