October was a relatively good month, 8 sales and 3k page reads, just over £25 in royalties.
I'm 6 years and 5 books into my "I'm gonna really give this a go" phase of authorhood, sold around 2k books, had around 100k page reads.
It's been a lot of effort for about £25 a month, so it's a good thing I do it solely for the love of the game!
I have a couple tricks left to try and see if I'll ever hit any serious numbers - but I'm very happy with a consistent, if small, readership that's gradually growing. The good reviews are nice too. Any writer who has fans, even if it's a handful, or one, has made it in my eyes.
Curious how my writer friends think about success and what it looks like as a selfpub/indie author.

I'm paying it forward by using my Twitter accounts to retweet emerging writers to a wider audience and amplify (free of charge) book publication announcements, literary awards, shortlist/longlist/nominations, publication in journals & magazines, and great reviews.

The first novel in my series "Expat" is out! 🎉
With brand new covers, ebook, paperback and harcover editions. 📚This series means a lot to me, is inspired by real life events and experiences living abroad. If you like sometimes funny , sometime painful wholesome romance 🫶, yearning 😳, volleyball 🏐, and early 2000s nostalgia📵. This may be something for you.
If not, no worries, come and chat about writing and books.⌨️📚

Let’s try this again. So many #writerslift posts are just people trying to mark writers to send them unsolicited offers for betas/marketing etc. If you post your book links below, I promise never to DM you 😂 let’s support each other and if someone does bother you, let us know and we can block them.

Author friends
There is some loser weirdo contacting authors using my name and claiming that they're from my company (Indiosyncrasy). I was advised of this by an author, so if you receive contact from the below email address this is NOT me.
I'm currently reporting them to Google. Stay vigilant, and if you have had contact from this email - please report them and let me know.

Curious. Has a single X post ever just made you buy a book? From an author you weren’t already following?
