Ep 492: What book format benefits authors most?

Hello and welcome to Nerd Corner with Sarina and Jess! I love these episodes because I will never, ever know as much about the publishing industry as Sarina Bowen, and I learn so much from her. This week, she answers a question she got from a listener, paraphrased thusly:

Dear Sarina, I want to support you and your work, so which format of your books do you profit from most? 

The fact that we live in a world where any reader is interested in the answer to this question soothes my troubled soul. 

So let’s break it down: hardcover, paperback, audio, ebook? What about borrowing from the library? What about subscription services such as Kindle Unlimited?

Here are a few helpful links that expand on the topics we discuss in this episode:
