We are Natasha Duncan-Drake (Tasha) and Sophie Duncan and we decided to set up Wittegen in 2010 and started publishing in 2011. We are twins and we have been writing since we were wee things, but neither of us pursued it professionally until we set up our own company. Both of us are originally techies by trade: Tasha used to be a database designer and systems consultant; Sophie used to be a software developer and an IT project manager.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\n\t<\/div>\n\n<\/div>

When we first looked into self-publishing, one of the things we noticed was that branding is very important. We could have simply self published our books and then linked to them on our blogs, but we wanted a brand under which to group all of our books. We both write in multiple genres and for a wide age range, so we decided to set up our own company. We feel this provides a professional platform from which to market our books.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\n\t<\/div>\n\n<\/div>

This means the titles contains explicit sexual material. Some of our title are erotic romance and not suitable for those under 18, hence we warn for it. We do not wish our readers to come across content they were not expecting.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\n\t<\/div>\n\n<\/div>

Many\u00a0of our free books are thank you\u2019s to our readers. Some are slot-in short stories to go with some of our books\u2019 series and some are simply stand alone offers of gratitude. Other free books are to entice readers in and hopefully, encourage them to purchase other books in the same series. This is usually the case when the free book is an actual part of a series. Some of our books are free when they first come out (e.g. those written for\u00a0All Hallows Read\u00a0for the past two years and the\u00a0Giveaway Games stories), but then become paid for books after a period of time.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\n\t<\/div>\n\n<\/div>

We use the lengths given by the\u00a0Hugo Awards\u00a0since it seemed like a valid ranking system: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
