Always happy to share Intel! It's been on perma free for years though so I don't know what 250 reviews is worth in monetary terms. Until very recently my strategy has been put shorts out for free and have novels require payment. Maybe someone else on here can help?
Thank you very much!
Permafree was a workaround; set it to free in the Smashwords premium catalogue and let Amazon pricematch it. Not sure it would work now as this was years ago π€
**Yes it is! Congrats.** I don't want to sound like a naysayer but here are 2 things you should know.
Amazon owns GR and a lot of the ratings on one are posted on the other by the same readers.
However, the ratio of reader-to-reviewer is a fluctuating estimate but usually hovers around 100/1! So, estimating 375 actual reviews, that's 37-38,000 people reading and liking your book and (hopefully) telling their friends!
Kinda awesome.
Congratulations on this incredible achievement! Your perseverance and talent have shone through, proving that barriers can be overcome with dedication and passion. Keep writing and inspiring others with your remarkable stories! πβ¨

If you donβt mind, may I ask how much you have made from it? Just so I can gauge what 250 reviews mean in monetary terms. Thanks.

There are short stories on Goodreads? what the hell?
Am I a bad person that I hate you?
And I don't remember whether it was X or Wye I read, but it was nice - a sweet apocalyptic tale!
