#63 Hugh Howey: Winning at the Self-publishing Game
- ▶ 58:10 Hugh Howey I finished my first novel, I think in, like, 2008 or 2009, and I think the Kindle came out the same year, just a bit after I'd written a book. 2 times in the scene
- ▶ 59:19 Hugh Howey And now there are several print on demand, uh, companies, Amazon being, I think one of the best because they're integrated with the 4 times in the scene
- ▶ 1:07:57 Hugh Howey Um, the second thing is I didn't need the validation from a publisher because I was already getting it from readers who were writing reviews on Amazon that I would read every day, like how much they love the story.
- ▶ 1:11:56 Hugh Howey If they're self-published, the publishers have a different pricing scheme, so they'll continue to make the same royalty, but what Amazon is. 9 times in the scene
- ▶ 1:19:18 Hugh Howey And under, um, just science fiction on the Amazon store. 2 times in the scene
