Apple Breakout Books

Woo Hoo! The Apple iBookstore is featuring a lot of Smashwords authors in their Breakout Books promotion. I can't say all the authors count as indies. If you look at the list at the Smashwords blog, you'll see some on there are already traditionally published "big" names and so have a large following. (Hint: L.L. Barlett.) But at least Smashwords is well represented in the promotion.

Smashwords: Smashwords Authors Gain Seat at the Merchandising Table with the Apple iBookstore’s Breakout Books Promotion

Me ... Breakout Books?

Panzer stopped in at the Smashwords blog today. He found Mark Koker's post about Apple iBookstore's Breakout Books Promotion just what we've been looking for.

Panzer and I have uploaded Cats and Crime and Under New Management to Smashwords in December (Cats and Crime) and in January (Under New Management). While you can buy our ebooks directly from Smashwords, we use them as our distributors to all the major rEtailers, including Apple iBookstore, except Amazon. We upload separately to Amazon. We hope our sales (and free downloads) will get us into the Apple iBookstore Breakout Books Promotion in the near future..
