Well the issue with Patreon is that you a) need a fanbase and b) need some product to give to your patreons as a thank you. Now that could be short stories once a month, but we'd need to advertise the site more to get people looking at the stuff on there first. Its a bit chicken and egg. Kat That's what I thought. We'd need a commitment from people to push their social media thing. As you know from fb I'm not the best at that sort of thing, although my twitter has just got passed 100 followers, nowhere near the thousands of others but it's a start. Hopefully we can do it if we work together, it just needs everyone to put in some effort. Not a lot, one tweet or post a day on whatever platform they use. In other news, I've created new buttons for the site, they have a purple glow when you hover on them. not actual size) Anna xx

I am an idiot, and you probably don't want me running the website.
I decided to add Kindle Unlimited ads to sections of my page to try and earn a little cash. I tried and tried but couldn't get it to work properly.
Today, I realised that I only ever use two web browsers, Opera and Brave. One for him and one for her. Both of those browsers have built in ad blockers. I tried it again with microsoft edge and it works fine.
Huge facepalm.

Anna, as an IT simpleton I am more than happy if you run the website.

Right folks, I will be needing pictures for everyone to put on the website. Don't panic, they don't necessarily have to be you, Ms Mouse will be representing me as always, but I've been told that readers like to have a face they can relate to. Whatever you choose, attach it in the replies here and I'll do the rest.
If you aren't linked from my personal site, and you'd like to have a link from the TS site then also leave me your site URL.
If you don't leave me a pic I'll create one for you...you've been warned.
Anna xx

I'm not sure what kind of picture to send you, so I'm tempted to throw myself on your creativity. Have fun. Tanya.

Another quick question girls. In what countries do your books sell the best, I'm definitely doing a US and a UK shop, would anyone like any others. Like should I do a Euro's shop, or a French shop, or Australia etc etc etc.

The majority of my sales are in US and UK. I do get a few from India and some from Euorpe but the majority (80-90%) are from UK / US.

Another request girls. If you want to be a part of TransScripts please let me know. If you are using Chrissy as your editor then you really should because she is the TransScripts editor in chief (sounds posher than maid but doesn't get you out of cleaning Kat's litter tray.) All it requires from you is promoting TransScripts books on your website/social media, having TransScripts recognised as your publisher in future publications and re issues, and ensuring your work remains within the non sissy rules.
In return you'll get a bevy of beautiful proof/beta readers, a wonderful editor in chief, help with cover designs, and pretty much anything else you require to get your book published on Amazon and registered with Kindle Unlimited.
There's no deadline to let me know, but the sooner you do the sooner your back catalogue will appear on the new TransScripts website.
Think on it.
Anna xx

Oh and glad the maid's duties vis-a-vis my litter tray are still nailed down!

Okay, I know I'm going to sound like a pain but, if you have a twitter, facebook, instagram or linkedin page that you use to promote yourself/your books let me know. Surely it would be a good idea for us all to be friends on these things anyway so we can share each others stuff. Anna xx I promise it'll only be like this for a few days while I plan the website out. Honest... My Twitter Name is @annanamaus My FB is www.facebook.com/anna.namaus.9I do have a LinkedIn but never use it and use my phone for phone calls so I don't get Instagram. (Yes I'm old and weird)
