[stylist] Introduction

It certainly would be an idea for S & S if someone is willing to accept
the challenge. We will have an article on self-publishing in the winter
issue, but articles like this are much needed and welcomed.

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?
Donna

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.
