  • The winners of Craig Martelle's book Release Strategies, which include the two winners from the comments for that Episode (Episode 90): Ted, and Chad Boyer.
  • The two patron winners of the same book (automatically entered just for being patrons): Mary Jo Rabe and Matty Dalrymple
  • Some recent comments from the past few episodes
  • A personal update

. . . as well as a word from this episode's sponsor Findaway Voices...

You can learn more about how you can get your work distributed to retailers and library systems around the world at starkreflections.ca/Findaway.

In the webinar, Mark, Dan, and Kevin discuss:

  • Quite a bit about libraries and getting eBooks into libraries
  • Successfully selling series books
  • Digital box sets/bundles
  • 3D covers VS Flat/Rectangular covers
  • Getting promos on Kobo, Apple, etc
  • Books2Read and universal book links
  • The D2D Print beta
  • Findaway Voices and audiobooks
  • Exclusivity VS Wide Publishing
  • Assets for newsletter marketing
  • ....and more...

After the main content, Mark shares his reflections on hoopla and his optimism of having his eBooks available in another library channel, particular having seen some success with his audiobook income via hoopla from Findaway Voices.
