I Forgot About My Book

Tweet

I've been working on various writing projects. Recently, I submitted a short children's story to a publisher. The publisher said they read through submissions weekly and would contact people. Well, it's been more than a week and I've heard nothing. I then thought I'd look into self-publishing something else. I'd tried to self-publish the one I submitted but the number of pages didn't meet the minimum. It turned out that I could, in fact, sell it as an eBook. Anyway, that wasn't the one I'd forgotten. There was another that I'd started on KDP - that one was a poetry book but I want to add some more to that (I had forgotten about that too). The one I'd forgotten, though, was on a different self-publishing site called Lulu.com. That was a poetry book that said it was from 2011 (or 2007, I think was the original creation date). I have no advertised that on some of my other sites but no sales so far. That's an eBook as well - I'm not sure why because I originally put it on for sale as a paperback. I had a message about the one I'm publishing on KDP (Amazon). The message said something about it being available in the public domain so I had to prove it was mine. I removed the online version from my website and resubmitted to KDP! It's now been approved for publishing so I'm waiting for it to be ready. I wonder if there are other online things I've forgotten - I'm quite certain there are some old profiles on various sites that may or may not exist. Have you ever forgotten about your online content? Have you ever had any surprises like discovering that you'd sold lots of a product that you'd forgotten you had for sale?
