Hi, I suggest you have a look at feedaread (http://www.feedaread.com) which focuses on independent authors. You have to produce the input yourself (as a pdf) but you then only have to pay a price per copy rather than any set up costs. I'm currently using them for my daughter's novel - I haven't got ...

The first in the series is Northern Lights, though I think it was called The Golden Compass in the US...

Hello everyone, I'm an avid reader using paper, ebooks (via the kindle app on my phone) and unabridged audiobooks (via my iPod). I love a variety of styles of books but suspense thrillers are probably my favourite - Dean Koontz and Stephen King in particular. I'm also a family man and have taken on ...

Hi - just about to post my introduction so hello fellow newbie. I was intrigued by your thread title because yesterday my daughter's book was critiqued by someone who said elephants hadn't been heard of in England when her book was set (late 19th Century).
