I’m sorry to hear this, Kellie. You must have been frustrated. Have they done anything to compensate for the problems?

Stay away from Shindig. I used to launch my book and tons of readers couldn’t get in, got kicked out…..glitches galore. Very frustrating after all the work me and my publishing house went to to put on a first rate affair. The glitches didn’t even bother me as much as their horrid attitude after. NO apologies, no ownership. Even asked me to do tasks to help them. I had intended to have the video up, and won’t because of how tacky the event ended up. I still sold a lot of books, but that wasn’t because of SHINDIG….in fact, I’d likely have sold much more had a gone with a different vendor.

Kellie, it was free when it launched but you’ll have to check the Shindig site now for information on any fees.

I have a friend that’s looking into it as part of a romance writers panel at a conference.

In addition, Mollie, you want to take timezones into account. 6:30 on the East Coast is 3:30 on the West Coast. It’s hard to find the perfect fit.
