Since it’s the season for new resolutions, I thought it might be helpful to mention that Amazon Kindle is not available in my home country. Meaning I cannot buy Amazon Kindle books directly or view my own Kindle titles on Amazon.com (they don’t even appear in search). Nor can banks in my country receive direct payments from Amazon. Nor can foreign currency cheques be processed for cheap.
It’s even worse with iBooks, where all I ever see in the app store is a permanent collection of about 50 free titles from the Dickens era.
And yet, I’ve been self-publishing and earning from both those platforms for almost 3 years now.
My point is: Life always finds a way.
So think bold, dream beyond your boundaries and may you all have a brilliant and very exciting New Year ahead!
This was a very heartfelt post sharing your situation without asking for pity or even sympathy, instead hoping the rest of us would draw a little inspiration from your example, and I appreciate it.
However despite this I have to share that whenever I browse on Amazon for Eritis Mea, Amazon always asks me if I really meant “British Meat”. I had no idea that there was such a market for bovine spongiform encephalopathy in the US. Maybe the cooking staff at the White House buys it in bulk.
There’s no need to ask for sympathy. I made it past the firewall, didn’t I? 😉 And haha, maybe infected meat is a great deal cheaper? Besides, Donald Trump is your president. Everything is possible.
