Ebook Question
I have been reading various debates about free ebooks (mainly in email I've received.) I firmly believe that on the internet, with fiction (but not nonfiction) the free ebook is the way to go if a novelist wants to draw readers to his or her print books.
There are various reasons for my belief in this, not the least of which is my experience from having begun doing this in 1999 with my e-serial, Naomi, followed a year later by my e-serial, Nightmare House, as well as several free ebooks of novellas I've offered.
Do me a favor -- answer this one question. I'd love to get your take on it. If you're not sure, subscribe to my free newsletter (click here to find out about it) read one of the ebook novellas I offer soon after you've subscribed, and then come back and answer this question. Thank you!
When a novelist offers a free ebook or e-serial, does it make you -- a reader -- consider seeking out that writer's work when you're in the bookstore?
