I'll soon be publishing book 1 and 2 of an epic fantasy series.
Book 1 is 175k words and book 2 is shaping up to be 350k.
Assuming that is how the word count will end up, what pricing would you all suggest? This is my launch into epic fantasy, so I'm a little unsure. This will be going into KU.
My first reaction is that a lot of somewhat longer fantasy is in the $3.99-$4.99 range for indies. But I've recently also gotten some advice to consider pricing them at $5.99-$7.99, especially considering the length.
Of course, I could always do book 1 around $3.99 as a series starter (and because it's shorter than book 2) and have book 2 around $5.99 or $6.99.
Being an unknown, indie author does factor into it. Thoughts?
Thanks in advance for any advice.
