My Books Are Now On Itch!

I spoke recently about taking my books off major e-retailers due to deleting my D2D account, which I promptly did. I’m not over what they’ve done – the annoyance and the frustration are still here. The lack of options available for people like me in other countries where our currency values so weakly against USD is pretty stark. It’s already a struggle at times to get our words out as marginalised authors, as non-Western authors, and now this? Sometimes it can be so disheartening.

But I persevere, as always. I continue to write, and to try and share my writing. My books are on Ko-fi as are other short stories. And then I mentioned I was looking into Itchio – which is a pretty decent platform! Easy to use, easy enough to navigate. I also realised I can publish some of my other Ko-fi shop content like my bingo sets! (I plan to eventually do this.)

Does this mean I have stopped looking for ways to share my stories on the major e-retailers? No. But it does make it a little bit more difficult. Especially if I am looking to publish physical copies of my work, which was the plan for later this year for Kind Regards And Warm Wishes. I have, at least, been informed by some writer friends of other (free) platforms I can use for formatting, which will be helpful. But the physical copy thing, and publishing that is something that will take some time.

Until then though, you can get my books on Ko-fi and Itchio! They also take less of a cut than D2D and major e-retailers did – in Ko-fi’s case, no cut at all!

Still looking at more options for distributing, if anyone has any! Or any tips and tricks – I would love to learn more ways to better myself as a writer.
