⚠️The time is almost nigh.⚠️
I've hyped up the final release of Iron Empire a lot, so I'll skip to the facts.
- The novel will officially go live on Amazon.ca and other international versions of the site sometime within the next three months, with the more likely date being closer to the next three WEEKS.
- The novel will release in paperback and ebook formats.
- The prices are still currently in flux, but I can give my best guess as to what they'll be. (Listed prices are in Canadian dollars, and aren't final).
- Due to the sheer size and printing costs of a 180k word novel (it's a THICK book) paperback will be somewhere around $24 (with only about $2 going to me in royalties ). This is not ideal, but I have to price it high to make any money at all.
- Fear not, because the ebook copy will only cost about $6 (with a royalty of $4 per copy to me). Considering we're on Wattpad, I don't expect anyone to mind reading a digital book, so I tried to keep the price as low as possible while still remaining competitive.
- There will be no hardcover version, because the novel is, quite literally, too thick for the printing presses in that format (max of 500 pages for hardcover, Iron Empire is 775).
- The uncertain release date is simply because I currently have a print copy of my own shipping to my house for final review. I was about to publish Iron Empire TONIGHT, but the moment I do I have exactly two weeks to make any edits before the novel is locked forever, any remaining typos and all. I don't want that time crunch, so I opted to delay just a little longer.
So there you have it! Expect the next announcement to be the final release!
If you can spare the price of $6 (4.38 USD) for a digital copy of the finished novel, I would be eternally grateful. If not, thank you for your support nonetheless, and I can't wait to begin the next journey on Steel Skies!
