The other reason is Inkitt.
The German-based company where I "won" a publishing contract. It didn't work out as they promised.
They published three of my novels (but not in sequence) and not edited.
I had no say in the Cover design either.
It was not entirely their fault, as I was unable to communicate after I had my stroke.
However, Inkitt told me, that they have no interest in publishing anything more, as their business model changed towards interactive novels where the readers chose the outcome, and they are only interested in romantic teenage stories.
My core audience is not teenagers, but old fashioned SF fans, and I don't think my stories are compatible with reader decided outcomes.
There were many other issues as well, long story short. A friend told me about Patreon.com.
A site where patrons support your work.
The Patreon format is not the best, for novels but it works!
