OlivawR: Your book was the hardest to read book I've ever read in Italian. It could also be because I've learned Italian alone.
Really? Because is a simple italian, maybe something I did long phrases, but it's not too hard :)
Try to read something of Gabriele D'Annunzio, that is VERY hard to follow even for me :P

http://www.amazon.it/Gioconda-Gabriele-DAnnunzio-ebook/dp/B004UIY4WI/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1406023029&sr=8-2&keywords=d%27annunzio

There are several free ebooks you can find :)

Just outy of curiosity, did you bought the book from Amazon.it? Because in my reports Amazon shows only copies sold by Amazon.it, in the other Amazon (.com, .de etc) I've sold none :D

I'll give an eye on it when I'll return to Italy next month. I didn't bother to take the kindle with me this time.

Yes, amazon.it. I'm probably your third buyer.

Thanks then :)
But you could use your local Amazon, I think the price is low here. And let me know what you think about the book (posting also a comment on Amazon would be appreciated) :)
It's so great that there are quite a few creative people around here.

Punished_Snake: The book is totally DRM-free
I already kinda like it. ;)

As a writer myself, I can understand what is like to have your work finished and published. Still, I don't get what makes you think you're not a TRUE writer?
I'm really happy for you ! Congratulation for finishing your first book !
It's very hard to reach the end, it's a true adventure itself (I mean, in addition to the one in the book ;)). I know what it is.

Unfortunately, I don't read Italian... Maybe one day we'll be able to read an english version !
I wish you the best, and courage and luck for the contest you're actually working on !

The book got a review, and it's a positive one :)
A promotion will start soon, as Amazon will let me do it :D

Congrats. Good luck on your book (and jobhunting)

Thanks, the book is selling very bad (actually it isn't selling at all), sadly is VERY hard to do something with Amazon, since you have basically ZERO visibility if you are an unknown writer.

Have you created a website for your book and video on youtube to increase exposure? Some writers travel around to promote their works, if they're really lucky their books might get republished, though that would cost of a bit of fortune.
Congratulations!

If you ever publish an English translation, please let me know.
Congratulations!

Hopefully you'll manage to publish an English translation as well. If not, I'll probably get the book in the next 10 years after I've learned Italian and the book becomes a Best Seller. :D

Well, I think a website is not indicated. I mean, I usually when I buy a book the only thing I check is the description of it on the store, or at least the wiki page about it and the author.
Anyway I created a Facebook page, but after two months there were no changes at all about Likes (and the only people which liked where parents, friends etc.)
A book trailer, also, I think is not indicated.
A friend of mine did it for his book (and it was a paper book, not an ebook), but basically the trailer was useless.

I created fliers, asked to distribute them in store etc, but even that didn't work.

I think actually the ONLY way to exit from this limbo is that some magazine, review site or something like that review my book, but I don't know any magazine that do this for "free" for unknown writers, at least not in Italy :S
