Does anyone who has written for both know? EC’s cover prices are higher than Samhain’s but I don’t know if that means Samhain sells better to make up the difference. Does anyone who has written for both know?

They did not pay us and after months of shilly shallying I finally went on their website and asked them if it was fair to ask for submissions for books when they weren't paying the authors they had already published. That finally got a response and we were paid. They also changed their website so you couldn't leave any comments. My point is to all authors don't hesitate to ask for your money and if you aren't being paid, then spread the word and let others know what's going on.

I'm a new writer on the scene and I really love both Ellora's Cave and Samahain authors and books. I am almost done with my first erotic novel and was planning on submitting to Ellora's Cave, but now am having second doubts. In your opinion, which is greatly appreciated, should I submit to Ellora or Samhain?? Hi all! I’m a new writer on the scene and I really love both Ellora’s Cave and Samahain authors and books.

However, I will say that Samhain, Loose Id, Changeling Press, are all top tier awesome digital publishers who utilize the same model and the financial issues are most definately isolated to EC. And other electronic publishers which may not make me as much $$ in sales, are also top notch when it comes to paying on time. Thanks for stopping by. Kate,

Maybe this new and wonderful business model isn't so wonderful after all. Isnt’ it interesting that EC is being touted as the benchmark for epublishing over at the RWAchange Yahoo group?
