Hello writing friends and you may or may not have heard of announcement from England Spark which is relevant to independence and self-published writers. And that is England Spark has announced no fees or no setup fees starting May 1st 2023. So this is a big deal for you know the independent typewriters and one of the main reason is Amazon most independence use Amazon to get the books published. There's no setup fees, no calls for publishing. Aside of course still having to get an editor or book designer and also to get your ISB ends and that's important like with the England Spark you know ISB ends are necessary for books to get into bookstores and libraries and so with that you know it's it is a big move for England Spark to be doing this. I will make a disclaimer here I'm not endorsing Amazon or England but this is just big news for independent writers who are all on budgets so a few extra hundred dollars to get into England Spark was probably the turn to the past and England is now opening the doors to get into bookstores and libraries and that's significant really because you know the issue would cost but also the limitations you know one of the secrets within the publishing world is bookstores book publishers all get their books from the same place and that's England Spark they're the printer books so you know even Amazon used to use them until recently when they started setting up it on printing facilities so you know an example here an issue here is like you want to do a book signing you go all into a Barnes and Noble and say I want to do book signing here and they'll check the computer to see if your book is in a system and if it's not then unfortunately you're gonna get the not available in the sad face so that's the other reason why to go with England Spark so again the biggest news is no more set up fees and that start that starting or start at May 1st the other issue there is writers no longer have to pay a publisher to buy their own book and that's a big that's a big thing there is a lot of these publishing companies charge authors the by-iron books you know the book you carry around my example 1699 cost to be out of the print at England $30 for 10 copies which is a good you know which is a good deal but some publishers will charge their authors $9 $10 $15 for a book I mean you're talking about big difference of you know just at the same ten books would cost you $9.90 instead of 10 so anyway big issue no more set of fees free revisions you find a typo a month later they're not gonna charge you to do a revision so that's a good news and coming in July they're gonna have other print options with the paper quality and the color and things like that just gonna have different changes there also with global distribution for aspiring authors you know budget is an issue that's always gonna be an issue and there's other things like query letter rejections traditional publishing restrictions there's a lot of things that can be impacted by this however the big news is England Spark has no fee starting make first and that's that's significant it's important to win for everybody so with that I'll leave you and just a happy writing
