I've been toying with the idea of removing my books from Kindle Unlimited. So far, three of my four books are on KU. The one that isn't is because it's still under contract with a trad publisher. I know that a HUGE population of readers in my genre are subscribers of KU, and therefore the reason I signed up for it (I'm a subscriber as well). But the revenues are lower with KU. I would LOVE to learn anyone else's experience with KU.

I'm wondering if my blurb on Amazon tells too much. I just released my book May 15, and I'm not feeling all that confident. Question: can I post that blurb here for any comments?

I want you to know what I know. I do not want you choosing images, colors, or fonts because they are pretty, because they are trendy, or because they happen to appeal to you personally. I want you to understand what those choices are communicating to readers—and why some covers connect almost instantly while others disappear. In Module 3, we are working with imagery, color, and emotion. You will identify the dominant emotional experience your cover should create, choose a clear focal point, work with symbolism, build an intentional color palette, create contrast, and develop a complete mood direction for your cover. Then, in Module 4, we move into typography and the thumbnail test. You will learn how typography communicates genre, tone, professionalism, and trust before the reader has even consciously processed the words. You will also test whether your title actually works at the size readers are most likely to see it—tiny, crowded, and competing for attention. Both modules include full workbooks, because I do not want you simply watching these lessons and thinking, “That makes sense.” I want you to apply them. These two modules work together, so complete Module 3 before moving into Module 4. Take your time. Do the exercises. You are not decorating a rectangle. You are learning how to communicate with readers before they have read a single word.

What's one action you've taken this month that brought you closer to your first (or next) paying client, and what did you learn from it?
