So the new novella has been out for three whole days now, and I have learned a few things, which I will inflict on you in case any of you have ever thought of self-publishing, or in case you already self-publish and want to point and laugh at someone else (or perhaps nod knowingly and reach for the bottle.)
Doing this right is hard.

My partner did some work for an author who wanted to self publish several books on the reader platforms (I am trying to sound like I know what the hell I'm on about here...) and I can honestly say that you had the same experience she did. There were tears, screaming and things that were never meant to fly were seen leaving the room at about head height, unaided.
I have no idea why those things are so complicated. Whenever I get something to read it on this will be the first book I buy :)

I bought my copy yesterday after the double Chapter 2 issue was resolved. I don't know if that was version 2 or version 6, but assuming it wasn't the final version, do you know if there's a way to update my Kindle copy (or does that happen automagically)?

Before I go flailing through the bowels of the beast, do any sharp readers know the answer?

I also bought it and downloaded it yesterday, so I hope that this will do the trick to get me the newest version. Not that I mind the typos, though. It feels special to know that you swore at each one of them.

I expect this is one of those things we'll learn...

The fact that it pains you to have typos makes me feel all the more forgiving, because I know you care and tried to get it right. If you just shrugged and said it didn't matter, I'd look side-eyed at you. XD

Typos are a fact of life - anything published WILL have typos - so I would advise you to stick with a minor grumble that this particular one got away and keep writing, just keep writing, OK?
I salute you on a fine product and bow to your eminence!
