While only Scales on my backlist is currently hidden by itch, the website has been 90% of the money I make off books in the last year. I found wildly more success there than Amazon. I’m not sure what to do. I’m heartbroken.

Put your revenue share on 0% Maybe they’ll survive, maybe not.

My sales and outreach on Itch has been so much better than years on Smashwords. I liked itch. Id prefer to keep using itch. But if they drop us like a hot potato that doesn't inspire much will to stay and put more on there

Itch being kinder to shorter releases was letting me put out the individual Out of True novellas and make enough to sustain the next ones until I could put the entire collection in paperback on other platforms. Guess I could do Payhip maybe?
