Hello everyone!

I’ve got 3 novelettes (word count ca 13k, 18k and 22k respectively) I’m planning to publish on Amazon during the summer/autumn and I’ve started to look around to see what a good pricing range would be.

From what I could find on other threads and forums, it’s either $0.99 or $2.99 (very few seem to think $1.99 is a good option). And when I check on Amazon itself it goes from $0.99 up to $4.99 sometimes.
As I understand it the $0.99 price is good for beginners (which I am), but dissuade a lot of people from buying since they assume it’s garbage for that low price.
And with the $2.99 price it can come off as a bit expensive for a novelette, but ultimately worth it if it’s well written and that people don’t immediately assume it’s bad.

With all this info in mind, I was thinking to price the shortest $0.99 to gain some traction and the other 2 at $2.99.

For those of you that has published novelettes, what’s your experience when it comes to pricing? Would you have put all 3 to $0.99 or another price as a new author? Would love to hear your thoughts about it!

Thanks in advance!
