Who is J. A. Konrath? Why should a Kindle owner/normal reader care?

(by switch11) J. A. Konrath is an indie pioneer and has played a much bigger part than people realize in the rise of indie authors -

1. To Put it Bluntly: We readers wouldn’t be getting good books from good indie authors in the $1 to $5 range if not for the contributions of authors like J. A. Konrath.
2. Firstly, by sharing his numbers he’s delivered a huge dose of confidence to other indie authors – It’s changed their reality and their sense of what’s possible. J.A. Konrath earned over $500,000 from ebooks in 2011. Those numbers give other authors the confidence to strike out on their own.
3. Just to stress that again: There’s nothing that gives authors more incentive to go straight to readers (and offer more value for money to readers) than finding out that J. A. Konrath is earning hundreds of thousands of dollars a year by going straight to readers.
4. Secondly, he’s stuck with ebooks. J. A. Konrath and John Locke are two authors (amongst several) who’ve refused to sign ebook deals with Publishers and have thus saved us readers from the insult of having to pay $8 per ebook (we are saved from having to subsidize the inefficient print book business).
5. Thirdly, he’s shared what works for him. The J. A. Konrath Guide to Publishing blog is full of great advice and also has great examples of indie authors who are doing great by going straight to readers. This is the rarest thing: Someone successful who’s sharing that wisdom for free.
6. I’ve been blogging about Kindle and ebooks and indie authors since December 2007 and there’s no doubt in my mind that J. A. Konrath has done more for indie authors than any other author. In the midst of a flurry of authors who thought the end goal was to strike a deal with Publishers, he is one of the few indie authors (alongside others like John Locke) who realized that offering readers the best value for money is the right thing to do (and also the smartest).
7. Fourthly, J. A. Konrath saw the trends and acted on them before almost everyone else. There’s a pretty good chance that following his blog and his thoughts will benefit authors and readers as we continue to see cataclysmic changes in books and publishing.

J. A. Konrath has played a key role in the rise of authors and readers and here’s an interview with him (Meaghan did the interview).

Interview with J. A. Konrath Part 1: The Questions He Wishes He Would be Asked

[This and rest of the interview is by Meaghan] We started off the interview with Joe by asking him the questions he longed to be asked by interviewers. His response was intriguing:

1) Why do you blog about the publishing industry?

Joe: I blog because it sometimes encourages intelligent discussions, which help me hone my goals and learn more about how the industry works. In order to attract visitors to my blog, I share things I’ve done (things that have worked and things that haven’t), including sales figures. Some people like what I have to say. Some don’t. I get a lot of thank yous, and a lot of criticism.

2) Does it bother you when people criticize you?

Joe: No. I often get misquoted, or my words are taken out of context. Lots of people form opinions without bothering to read my blog. That’s silly. But it doesn’t bother me, either. Everyone has an opinion, though the uniformed ones are difficult to defend.

3) Will you ever stop blogging?

Joe: I once made an open offer to the publishing industry. I’d never blog again if they paid me a million dollars. The offer still stands. And based on the number of comments and emails I get, a million is a bargain. The Big 6 have lost a lot of business because of my blog.

Interview with J. A. Konrath Part 2 – Our Questions for Mr. Konrath

These are the topics and questions we most wanted to hear Mr. Konrath’s thoughts on.

4) What influenced you to begin writing?

Joe: I love telling stories, which grew from a love of reading stories.

5) In your blog post entitled “Interview with my cover artist Carl Graves” you discuss the importance of cover art. How much of a difference do you feel that your covers make in your sales?

Joe: I’ve seen sales improve by 100% and more just by getting better covers. Some I’ve my covers I’ve changed as many as four times.

6) In Selena Kitt’s guest post on your blog, she discusses the pricing of eBooks. Where do you feel that the ideal price for both authors and readers lies?

Joe: Under six bucks. Ebooks should cost less than paper. They are intangible, can’t be resold, and cost pennies to copy and distribute. The value of a book is how much money it earns the author, not its list price.

7) What would you say are the main factors that have led to your success? Which of these can be used/learnt by any writer?

Joe. This is a business. Act like a professional. Write a lot. Keep at it until you get lucky.

8) Do you feel that authors can make a decent living from selling $1-3 eBooks? How many authors do you think would be able to make a full living from books if ebooks (and in particular low-priced ebooks) became the norm?

Joe: Every author has their own goals to follow, their own road to walk. Some will make a living. Some won’t. It’s like any other career. Hard work and talent are helpful, but luck is needed to succeed.

9) What role do you believe that publishers, both small and large, have left to play in the world of books?

Joe: If I worked for a publisher right now, I’d be posting my resume on Monster.com.

10) You saw/predicted what was happening in the eBook world probably before anyone else. What led you to envision this future world of ebooks? Why were you willing to take such risks and go all-out with what you thought would happen/what you saw as the future?

Joe: I was just as surprised as anyone. I was lucky that I had a lot of novels that were rejected, and I self-published them as ebooks for Kindle to see what would happen. What happened was I started to make a lot of money.

11) What role do you feel Kindle owners have to play? Do you think they value authors’ work? how much power/say do you think they have in what happens?

Joe: Readers are all that matters.

12) Given your insights into book publishing and self-publishing, and given that most people would keep that knowledge for themselves and use it as a strategic advantage, why do you share them so freely? Are you not, in a way, creating more competition for yourself?

Joe: There is no competition. I price my novels at under $3.99. At that price, a reader can buy me and Blake Crouch, and Scott Nicholson, and Lee Goldberg, and a few others, and it’ll still cost less than a hardcover of Stephen King’s.

13) How do you feel about being cast in the role of the doomsayer of print books?

Joe: I’ve done dozens of posts telling writers, publishers, and bookstores how they could potentially thrive in an ebook-centric world. That’s proactive optimism, not reactive pessimism. Some listen. Some don’t. But it is none of my business what people do or don’t do.

14) You recently interrupted a hiatus from your blog to post “Book Country Fail” Do you feel that most authors, especially newbies, are informed enough about the Big Six muscling their way into self-publishing?

Joe: You can never be too informed, and good messages are worth repeating.

15) Now that events like book signings are becoming rarer, and things like blogs and social networking are becoming stronger, do you feel that the connection between authors and readers is stronger or weaker?

Joe: I answer dozens of fanmails a week. I think the connection is stronger than ever.

16) How much does having a relationship with other authors matter to you and how much of a difference would it make for new authors?

Joe: Writers don’t have water-cooler conversation. Our professions are solitary. It’s great to compare notes and trade tips. Tough to excel in a vacuum.

17) You work with other authors often. Do you find the collaborative process to be inspirational? When did you begin doing this type of writing?

Joe: Collaborating is terrific fun. Plus it expands your virtual shelf space with just half the work. I have many writer friends, so collaboration was inevitable.

1. Kindle Daily Deal. The Best American Noir of the Century for $1.99. 39 stories including works by Elmore Leonard, Patricia Highsmith, Joyce Carol Oates, Dennis Lehane and William Gay.

Ban books. Women should not read. Girls are Stupid. Steal Honey from Bears.

YA is crap. Twilight is terrible. There should be no Young Adult Books. Kids like Skittles too much.

Eat More Chicken. Eat Less Chicken. Save the Earth from the Ice Age. Save the Earth from Global Warming.

It is not trying to steal your rights to read books, or to read good books or to read terrible books.

It was written about Young Adult Books. It wasn’t meant specifically for girls or boys. The example quoted is girls but that’s just coincidental. You could take something like video games and find the same triggers being used to affect boys. PLEASE don’t turn this into something about women’s rights to read books. Or for that matter, about the right to read books.

What is this post saying, if it isn’t saying any of the above things?

It’s saying that a lot of the psychological triggers that are used to manipulate people are slowly entering YA fiction.

That it’s a trend which has a logical end-point – The devolution of books into something that isn’t very good, and which will end up being harmful to readers.

These psychological triggers, and the way they are used – are a bad, bad thing. Because we can’t defend against them. That’s the beauty of psychological triggers – Even knowing they exist isn’t defence against them. They are powerful because they are built over millions of years and 5 minutes of thinking they’re ineffective now won’t end their influence.

Millions and millions of years of human experience is more powerful than any argument about ‘people aren’t that stupid’. No, of course not. They’re human and they are susceptible to anything that wields influence over humans. It’s like a reaction to fire or to cold – it’s inside you and you can’t turn it off.

Also Note this key phrase from the post:

… we are moving away from the middle and going towards the far right.

The post is saying that we are headed in the wrong direction. That’s very different from saying ‘the world has ended’.

Please Also Note: This post observes the situation. It is not calling for action - and you can read it end to end to confirm this. It is pointing out things without asking to ban books or end things.

Finally, no politically correct werewolves or metrosexual vampires were hurt in the making of this post … unfortunately.

*******************************

Imagine a continuum of Fantasy.

1. On the very left is imagination exercising Fantasy. One that gives you a sense of wonder and makes you think about the things that might be possible.
2. In the middle is escapist Fantasy. Where you turn off the real world for a bit and dream away.
3. On the very right is Reality-Polluting and Reality-Destroying Fantasy. Where the fantasy ends up destroying your hold on reality and/or ends up making you unhappy with reality.

If you want a very rough analogy then you have -

1. Far-Left Fantasy = Playing a sport, reading a good classic book, drawing something. It’s an exercise of a faculty.
2. Smack-in-the-Middle Fantasy = A board game, reading an entertaining book, a good (but not necessarily artistic) movie, a concert. Perhaps not the most amazing use of time but good entertainment and definitely doesn’t hurt you.
3. Reality-Killing Fantasy = hitting your head against the wall, living in a bubble, taking wishfulness to an extreme.

The distinction is important because with Young Adult novels like Twilight and, to an extent, The Hunger Games – we are moving away from the middle and going towards the far right. To the Reality-Killing and Reality-Polluting Fantasies.

The Distinction between Fantasy and Reality-Killing Fantasy

There’s been a morphing in Fantasy.

Consider how video games have devolved from ‘look what might be possible’ games like The Legend of Zelda to ‘push all the psychological triggers’ social game corruption like Zynga’s games.

The same thing is happening with books for young adults. Authors are, knowningly or unknowingly, pushing psychological triggers instead of actually writing good stuff.

Let’s consider what psychological triggers you could push for a young teenage girl:

1. Love.
2. The Rich Boy Loving You.
3. The Exciting Dangerous Boy Loving You.
4. Both Fighting Over You.
5. Social Validation.
6. Social Status.
7. A Feeling of Fitting In.
8. Feeling Beautiful.
9. Feeling Accepted.
10. Your Hero not caring whether you’re rich or poor.
11. Your Hero not caring how popular you are.

In the past, the focus was on all mediums (movies, games, books, music) delivering a message. Even escapist fantasy had a message. The book left you with something.

Now it’s just a hole in your soul that you’re told/sold can only be filled by a werewolf and a vampire wooing you with the ardor of jackrabbits.

These days, the message is forgotten in the pursuit of psychologically addicting the reader. And every YA fantasy romance novel is doing the same thing.

It’s no longer about romance or love. It’s about pushing the right triggers. Unfortunately, pushing the right triggers too well means you start destroying reality.

Push too many psychological triggers and you start destroying Reality

If you set up a romance novel with 3 or 4 triggers i.e.

1. The Hero is rich.
2. The Hero is good-looking.
3. The Hero chooses you out of several options.
4. There’s intrigue and perhaps a dash of danger.

Then there’s a pretty good chance real life can compete. Perhaps your real-life hero only hits 2 out of 4 points. But he’s flesh and blood and there to hold you in his arms. And there are ALWAYS other women to add some competition.

Real life is as compelling – sometimes more compelling.

However, YA books these days are getting too good at pushing psychological triggers:

1. The Hero is rich and good-looking.
2. There’s a Rival Hero who is also very desirable.
3. The Hero is a Vampire. The Rival Hero is a werewolf.
4. The social pressure and loneliness is amplified and then your Hero magically makes it all go away. 
5. The fate of the world hangs on you.
6. You have magical psychic powers.
7. Your family has magical powers and drama of the sort few human families ever do.
8. The Hero and the Rival are fighting over you.
9. There are added enemies and dangers.
10. You are told you are special.
11. You are told you are entitled to whatever your heart wishes – use the Hero and Rival Hero like pawns if you wish.

How can Mr. Darcy compete with that?

And Mr. Darcy isn’t even real. How can the real love of your life compete with that?

Plus there’s no message. Instead of being good or love or decency – the message is entitlement and running away from reality.

It’s one thing if Disney is trying to manufacture fantasy boy bands for teenage girls. It’s quite another if you couple the power of these girls’ overactive imaginations with a plethora of psychological triggers (that take advantage of their vulnerabilities) to create something even Disney’s Boy Bands can’t compete with. Not unless they grow some fangs and develop some superpowers.

All the Fantasy Overload is Killing Reality

If you’re a young boy you’re hit with runway models and centerfolds and porn stars.

If you’re a young girl you’re hit with reality-destroying YA romance where a merman and a centaur and an Orang-utan man will fight a cosmic war for Earth’s fate and the prize will be you.

It’s getting so ridiculous it’s hard to believe. We don’t have woolly mammoths and other prehistoric monsters to challenge us for survival so now we are creating monsters of our own.

At this rate soon no boy and girl will fall for each other because the girl isn’t what some idiot in a mansion thinks women should be and the guy has neither vampiric powers nor a werewolf to play the perfect foil.

As a race we’re beginning to feed on our young. It’s so important to create ‘consumers’ that are unhappy and need to consume to fulfill themselves that we are doing everything we can to destroy their sense of reality.

That’s the problem with all these Twilight clones. They are a de-evolution of books. We don’t have literature or even pulp fiction any more – we just have a set of psychological triggers wrapped up in novel form. They are neither horizon expanding nor pure entertainment – they are just reality-destroying, unrealistic-expectations-creating, unhappy fantasy. If people are worried about declining birth rates and failing relationships now – wait till you get the generation that have grown up with Twilight.

3. *North Rim Delight (A Vet Tech Romance) by Regina Duke. Price: Free. Genre: Thriller, Suspense. Rated 5 stars on 12 reviews. 204 pages. His bicep is literally bigger than his head.

2. *The Mind Readers, A Young Adult Paranormal Romance by Lori Brighton. Price: $0. Genre: YA, Paranormal, Romance. Rated 4.5 stars on 30 reviews.
