Novel publishing help?

[TheBellJar]

Yes you should make a Facebook author page.
No it will not get into big bookstores, and no it is not possible, unless you sell 40,000 copies (literally) and then agents and big publishers will want to buy it off you and get it into stores. But if you sell less than that they probably won't. I saw an agent saying not to write to her about your "successful self published book" if it sold less than 40,000 copies.

I am not self published. I have been professionally published, however it is absolute nonsense for people to still be saying there aren't many successful self publishers. There are a lot. However the successful ones are those who used FREE self publishing like Nook.Press etc.. no one who pays the terrible scam money charging companies is successful because those take all your rights and rip you off and overprice your book. So use Createspace or Nook.press, Non scam companies.
