[stylist] Introduction

[Applebutter Hill]

Jim,
CreateSpace is a print on demand company with options to have them do Kindle
and to distribute the print version internationally. Smashwords is an e-book
aggregator. They take your file and create 7 e-book versions. If you qualify
for their advanced distribution, you can opt for them to place your book
with Nook, Sony, Kobo, Apple, Baker & Taylor 360 and a host of other
outlets. Some writers qualify for inclusion in Kindle, but at this point,
Kindle isn't automatic, though I think it soon will be. I did Kindle and
Nook separately and have Smashwords for everything else they offer.

Hi,
I wonder what the differences are between Create Space and SmashWords. Does
this sound like a  new S and S article?

Ann,
It's a flat percentage. BTW, if people spend more than $35 on Amazon, they
can get shipping free.

The author price has to be calculated based on your page count, dimensions
of book and so on. The cost of shipping to you goes down as the quantity
goes up, but the book price remains the same. I think you have to buy $5,000
to get a lower book price. For instance, my book is 344 pages, 6" x 9" and
black & white interior with the cream paper. My price per one hundred is
$5.70. This includes the shipping, and of course you aren't getting any
author royalties when you are the purchaser.

On Amazon, The Heart of Applebutter Hill  sells for $12.59 & customers who
buy it in print can get the Kindle version for 99 cents. On Create Space
itself, it is priced at the list price, which is $13.95.
HTH,
Donna

    Hi Donna,
     I understand that they take 40 percent plus the manufacturing cost of
the book for being on Amazon.  So when Amazon sells a book, are there any
additional charges from Amazon or for shipping or does that all come out of
the 40 percent?  Also, when purchasing author copies, is that the
manufacturing price or do they add to it?  Thanks.
Ann

Ann,
I published my first novel The Heart of Applebutter Hill last spring/summer
and I used Create Space. What are you wondering about?

Hello Everyone,
     I am in the process of finishing my first book and am considering self
publishing.
     Wondering if anyone has experience with Create Space or knows of
soemthing better?  I do have some Create Space questions which could
certainly be asked off list if necessary.
     Also, I am doing references in the back of my book.  When I look on
Amazon, it seems as if the whole publisher's name is not there, nor is the
state.  Is there  any easy way to look those up?
     More later.
