Nice article! Just a quickie about False Friends (which I am really enjoying and have almost finished) - I am sure you are aware, but there is a typo on the top of page 412 where Shepherd is referred to as Nightingale (!) - just thought I would gently mention....
All finished now and very enjoyable, thank you! (And I'm never shopping 'there' again, I can tell you!) I can understand that with print runs, typos needs to be corrected before the next printed edition, but how does it work with e-books? Is there a master which is easy to amend or is it more complex than that?
There's what's called an ePub file which is easily changed and its then downlaoded to all the retailers. Much easier than changing paperbacks! So teh eBook will hopefully be changed within hours.... fingers crossed! Thanks again for pointing it out!

ReplyDeleteWow didn't even know False Friends was out... Heading to the Kindle Store this second!!
ReplyDeleteInteresting interview, but I do wish you revealed what you think is happening at Amazon and why you think it won't be great for self publishers.
