TB is having a stressful week, and all of her hair is standing straight up. Why is she more stressed than normal? Because it’s the final week before her editing deadline for the cowrite with Miranda MacLeod, and TB is foregoing sleep to meet it, making her very cranky. In Girl Love Happens news, it’s so close to being done, but all the words are blending together because TB has read it so many times. On the personal front, TB is in the process of buying a car and is encountering one roadblock after another, yet another reason why her hair is standing up.
Clare is enjoying traveling by train these days since they’re not as full as normal. Now, prepare yourself for huge news. After talking about Big London Dreams for the past six months, it’s finally launch week! Cue the marching band. On the writing front, she has six chapters to go on the first draft of her new book. In reading news, Clare’s enjoying Casey McQuiston’s latest book, although TB is still baffled about one of the plot points of the story.
They move on to the main topic: Kindle Vella. This is a sparkling new service available to readers and authors in the US. So, what the heck is Kindle Vella? It allows authors to publish serialized stories over a period of time. Since it’s so new and has only launched in the US, not everything is known quite yet, but TB researched the service and walks the listeners through what she’s learned so far, including what can be published on the service, what exclusivity means, and how authors are paid. Bear in mind Amazon has soft launched Kindle Vella, more than likely so they can work out the kinks before unleashing it on the rest of the world.
Does Kindle Vella sound appealing to you?
