Starting with SF/F, of course. Going direct to authors." Which means folks who don't download the app are excluded, and they're picking genres with 6-7% of the fiction market (romance: more like 50%, so why not start with THAT?). And "going direct to authors" locks out authors with existing trad publishing contracts who are the big names. Way to kill your product!
