My new brand is “shockingly low-paid author” https://www.buzzfeed.com/meganeliscomb/bestselling-author-salary-transparency
@maloki if it helps, here’s a link to it on Bookshop, which supports indies! https://bookshop.org/p/books/the-free-people-s-village-sim-kern/19502760?ean=9781646142668
To clarify: fk Amazon. The only reason I got an orange banner is because this book became a USA Today bestseller, and that happened 100% because of INDIE BOOKSELLERS who have been championing this for months. So if you're picking up a copy, plz get it indie if you AT ALL can! ❤️❤️❤️
