I've been 'turning and burning' on my upcoming projects and have stepped back some to allow other members of the SPC to spotlight their projects and drop info. I noticed things have gotten quiet so I'm going to try and 'rattle the tree' and see what
When it comes to self-publishing, the least expensive and the highest royalty percentage avenue for the content creator is Digital Publishing. Royalties for e-Published books or films often run from 50-80%. The biggest drawback for e-published conten
