Dear Readers,
First and foremost, I'd like to express my heartfelt gratitude to each one of you who has taken the time to explore the world I've crafted in Echoes of the Ancients. It's been an exhilarating journey to share this narrative with you, and I'm thrilled by the feedback and engagement I've received over the past week.
When I first launched the book, I opted for introductory pricing to make it accessible to as many readers as possible. The initial price tags of $0.99 for the Kindle version and $8.99 for the paperback were meant to serve as a welcoming gesture. I wanted to invite everyone into this universe I had poured my heart and soul into.
However, as an author, it's essential to strike a balance between accessibility and ensuring that one's work is not undervalued. Publishing is not just an art but also a business. And it's a fact of this business that pricing often communicates perceived value. While the initial pricing was in no way an indicator of the quality of the narrative or the effort invested, I believe it's time for a change.
Considering the market standards and to align with the value I believe Echoes of the Ancients truly holds, I've decided to adjust the pricing. The Kindle version of the book will now be available for $2.99, and the paperback version will be priced at $12.99.
I want to emphasize that this change is not a mere monetary decision. It's about aligning with industry standards and ensuring that quality literature is recognized and valued appropriately. I've always been a proponent of the idea that art and its worth shouldn't be undermined. And by adjusting the pricing, I hope to reflect that sentiment.
For those subscribed to Kindle Unlimited, I have some good news! Echoes of the Ancients will continue to be available for free to all Kindle Unlimited subscribers. It's my way of saying thank you for your continued support and engagement.
In closing, I want to reiterate my thanks. Your feedback, reviews, and word-of-mouth recommendations have been invaluable. They've made all the long nights, rewrites, and moments of doubt worth it. I look forward to sharing more stories with you in the future and hope that you'll continue this literary journey with me.
Warm regards,
Rowan Bourn
