@peneloperaywrites Hey, thanks for writing it! I would've left commentary, but about 90% of the time I'm not in an internet friendly zone. It's still got a bit of progress to go, but your story is great and a fun read. :-)

Well, I keep saying "later" and I'm afraid this is no different. Due to my engagement in November, my writing life is undergoing an adjustment period. I'm still writing and I am in the process of editing my novel - would've published by now, but unfortunately (sort of) it turned into a series. :) I'll keep y'all posted! Have an awesome day.

Hello, I'm looking at self publishing a book and was told you have done research about it. I was wondering, does it cost any money to send in a story to Kindle? I'm not really sure how that whole process works. Any help is greatly appreciated! :)

@stringslady Hey there! As a matter of fact, I have learned a thing or two about self publishing. :) To publish an ebook on kindle costs $178. That's your basic ebook publishing where Amazon distributes the book for you. If you choose to publish through kindle, you will get to keep anywhere from 35-70% of the royalties - that depends on whether you stay within the requested criteria of 70%, and whether people are purchasing the book in the U.S./other Amazon listed countries or not. The difficulty with self publishing is that you have to do all of the work. Amazon has a few package deals where you can do an ebook & paperback/hardbook publishing deal . How much you pay them will determine how much of the work they will do for you as opposed to how much work you need to do by yourself. 
            
            For publishing an ebook only you will have to do all of your own advertising, cover design, formatting, and editing. It's doable, but it will take a huge portion of your time that might otherwise be spent writing. If you are willing to do that, and you are unsure of how you feel about become a writer full time, self-publishing might be the route you want to take. What you have to remember is that writing is not just an art. It is a business. I chafed at that idea when I first heard it, but when I thought about it I realized it's true. You've got to think of your target market, what internet sites they frequent, how to get your novel(?) out there, and how to sell your work. 
            
            That's a more intricate process which I would happy to describe for you if you would like. :) If you have several questions that you would like to ask, private message me and I will give you my email address for further communications. (I rarely check Wattpad, but a friend asked me to check for your message.)

To all who are reading "Under Lock and Key" I just wanted to let you know that it is making a comeback! I stopped for a while to merge it with another story (Oh, the joys of character intervention) which also happened to be a school project for my senior year. The rough draft is going to be my NaNoWriMo project (Excluding the already published chapters) so expect to see a lot of it then! For now I am dealing with technical difficulties - I'm having trouble saving my progress/editing the current chapters on Wattpad. More to come soon!

Worry not, high-school has not killed me yet! However, Under Lock & Key is going through major construction, as it has fused with a separate book written with a different perspective. I will gladly post the new edition as soon as I have it ready for readers. As of the moment, the rough draft is too messy for the public eye. I am thinking that regular postings will begin in June, after I graduate.
