The other day I got an email newsletter from an author I follow in which she mentioned that her current series is going to KU. I replied expressing my disappointment but also stressing that I understood why. She took the time to reply, which was nice:

Thank you so much for writing to me. I was disappointed too, to be honest. I chose to go to all storefronts (authors call it going Wide) with my books for good reasons. I *like* Kobo and Barnes & Noble and Apple. But i just can't find readers there.

I will definitely send the next book wide before I enrol it at Amazon. They can just wait! I really hope not to stay there forever, and am enrolling it in KU so I can fund the editing and covers for future books and series. I'm not even trying to make bank, just keep my little writing ship afloat :-)

Kind regards,
