Matthew Carroll | 2 comments I released my first short story last August and my second mid-January.

I want to wait until I have a few more before I really start promoting myself

Anyway, they really are entertaining… I may be new to publishing, but I've been writing a long time...

Thank you :)

Hi Matthew,

Having a quick look at it:
- it's a very short story. Most readers are looking for longer works. If you have a bunch of shorts, consider putting them in one book.
- the cover is very minimalist and doesn't suggest fantasy. You can get a reasonable cover spending no/very little money, and it's worth the effort
- put the title in title case
- the 'Purchase Only in Support of the Author' bit is rather confusing and unnecessary.
- looking at the preview, the start of the story is a bit -- word salad. Consider seeking some feedback to see if your style is putting readers off.

Hope that helps, Catherine.

Matthew Carroll | 2 comments Thanks for taking the time to provide feedback... I appreciate it :)

The 'Purchase Only in Support of the Author' is because this story is available bundled with another... 3.14 for a single short story is off putting. It was a way to say 'this will be on promotion sooner or later' ...
