Going Wide

Not everyone will be familiar with this phrase. In the book publishing world it means not putting all your eggs into one basket. It is very tempting as stores like Amazon offer a very massive audience. While the other stores are more boutique in their size. Last year Amazon in a glitch of an update geoblocked everyone outside of the US by accident or so they told us. Geoblocked means that you have to be in the country to be able to access things. There are a lot of countries that don't have their own Amazon stores but being able to access things on .com means we are truly equal with our favoured brothers over in the US. I was born in South Africa so I understand sanctions and how it impacts a country and it scared me that Amazon through a glitch could accidentally put sanctions in place on any country in the world.

That is when I decided I would take my books wide because I don't like putting that kind of power into the hands of a corporation. Okay, in the grand scheme I am algae in the publishing world but unless we make choices that resonate with our morals, corporations will have unchecked power. After all it is the reason why I bought bamboo toothbrushes last week or why I'm eyeing my old Huawei phone dubiously and wondering what I will replace it with when it finally dies.

But regardless it is has an upshot for all my readers because now you'll have choice of where you buy my books. To to that regard I'm going to put the links to all my books that are wide on this post. The image will take you to a universal link that allows you to pick the store of your choice. Because choice is awesome.
