Timeless Appeal
May 28, 2006
I was looking for some advice. Over the last year, I've been working on a project that I've been intending to digitally self-publish. It's a series of young adult horror novellas. Think Goosebumps for older kids.

Since I started the project, I've always planned on releasing the books for free. I don't really care about making money off of this, and my day job pays well enough that I'm even okay operating this project at a loss. I do care about people actually reading the thing. I've just operated under the assumption that offering it for free will give me a wider audience. Now, I'm a bit afraid that offering it for free will actually denote a cheapness in quality and actually deter some readers. Does anyone have any thoughts?
