A Cooperative Press for Indie Authors discussion

Part of the idea of the logos for the Co-oPress and the individual imprints is to raise visibility, right? People see the logo, it leads them back to the website and they see all of our books.

I have been using the imprint logos on my covers, and adding the imprint and Co-oPress logos to my front matter in all of my books. Is everyone else doing that? Is that the plan for us?

Also, should I add the website address to the books somewhere? Most people skip the front matter, since Amazon automatically skips the reader to the start of the text (meaning readers have to page back to see the dedications and such) - they only see it while checking out the Look Inside.

Is it worth us adding the website to an author's profile in the end matter? (I haven't used one of these yet.) Should we add it to our author profile on Amazon as well?

If we're going to be doing this thing, we should be doing it. Right? So maybe we should make sure what it is that we really want to be doing with these logos, and with the website address.

I think adding the coop website address to the front matter is a wonderful idea. As we progress towards a fully established coop, it will be our only real "address."

Also, I am going to add the imprint and coop to the front matter of my new work The Budding of Ptatkurapki, and as time permits, amend my already published works to contain that material as well.

Every link we make strengthens our web.
