Seriously, one of the things I look at when I think of trying a new author is how many other books have they written. If I'm going to put in the effort to try them I want to know there is a good sized pay-off on the other side. So I'm not sure if I would bother to try me out as a new author - which is a rather sad admission to make on an open forum ... did I really say it out loud? |
One thing that's more important then the number of books is how good are the book(s) that are available. We know an author has to start with the first book and that's OK. But, one thing that needs to be of good quality is the cover. If the cover looks like Photoshop barfed, then no, I won't be giving the book another look. If you cannot be bothered to make a good cover, I cannot be bothered to read your book.
