: Re: Should I include my email address in an ebook? I am wondering if it is appropriate to include my email address on the title page of my short stories on Amazon Kindle. If so, is it wise

I'm answering this as a technician, not as a writer: it's not wise to share your email anywhere in Internet, and I believe it's valid for ebooks also.

I say that because your email will become public and a lot of people - and scripts - you don't know will use it. That will make sure you will receive in your email SPAM, STRANGE MESSAGES, UNDESIRABLE CRITICISM, etc.. That's a reason for most websites not use emails anymore, preferring on line contact pages instead.

There are other - and safer - ways for people to contact you.

For example, you can create a free blog or a webpage, and people will be able to contact you from there without actually knowing your email; or a facebook page.

It makes much more sense to add a webpage address to your ebook than your email, specially because a webpage can be expanded and changed later if you want to.
