Publisher, translator and would-be author here. £6.99 is getting difficult for small indie publishers to price the books, since it costs about that to print! And I can just foresee people unwilling to spend £10 or so for a book. Perhaps that is a reason why there are some really chunky (perhaps unnecessarily so) books out there - people feel they want to get volume for money!

Thank you for another great read. This is so important. (And £6.99 for a physical object that will outlive everyone on Earth is MORE than fair.)
Excellent stuff. Your best newsletter so far. Hard-hitting and informative.
Having only used the self-publishing route, I can tell you that it's equally disheartening. Self-promotion is expensive and soul-destroying.
Keep them coming, Steve
All the best
