And For Writers: The Latest Speculative Fiction Writing Wroundup
It would be very nice if you could indicate which free books were price-matched by Barnes & Noble for nook owners! Thanks for all of the links π
I did take a look to see, but since most free Amazon promos are from the KDP Select program (exclusivity), the best B&N has for those books is a paperback version.
If I notice a price-matched book, I’ll try to check B&N, though. π
The Mad Genius Club initiative (shared world) seems quite nice. I’ll keep an eye on it.
