My wife is a writer. We started a publishing company. We have published her first 2 books, and 1 book from someone else. Her website gets about 10,000 hits per month now. And she has about 900 follwers in Twitter.We sell about 2 books a week. We do have them listed on Amazon, but prefer to sell direct from our website. Lately tho she has started making some good money converting other authors files into different e-pub formats, like for Smashwords and others. All 3 books we sell are available in print and assorted e-book formats for download. She has inadvertantly found herself at the forefront of e-book publishing, which is a good thing.
