As soon as I try self-publishing a book of my memory has: Desperately Seeking Jew: Confessions of a Mad Sex beauty queen, my thoughts are as follows:
I just have not bother to go to find a literary agent.
I do not want to send vast quantities of waste paper to my manuscript around the world to find these agents.
I do not want to wait for years until my book to see on the market.
I wanted to be everything under control!
So when I found WordClay and discovers how this works, I was thrilled.
Publishing costs, even with WordClay
There are no automatic charges.
BUT:
If you want to make your own reporting - so do not use their models really terrible, you have to pay $ 50 to download for them.
If you want your book an ISBN number, it can made available to Amazon and other retailers, so you have to pay $ 100th
$ 150 later and you have a book on sale everywhere!
WordClay only prints of each product if an order was placed, and then they take the cost of making such payments, the payment of the balance, you as a fee.
For example, if your book is 300 pages, it costs about $ 10 to print. Therefore, if you sell it for $ 20 $ 10 they think of credit and the remaining $ 10 for you in the form of license fees.
If the book is controlled by a third party, but, like Amazon, are the higher costs for you. They will charge you another $ 7 or so to get the book at the List Gallery. So, if you sell the book 20, in which case you would only be $ 3 as royalties.
So far so good!
I chose self-publishing a novel by WordClay, and I was very impressed with their service. They are extremely helpful and friendly, and the royalty checks will be sent immediately all quarters.
I would recommend, even publish a novel?
Yes and no. Although he is very happy to be in control of the process of self-publishing a novel, if you are really in the marketing yourself and your work, the size of the audience is very unlikely to be large.
If your work is non-fiction, highly targeted niche, you may have more success.
But the fiction of memory you need for the book in print, if it has any chance of success. And often the only way to get your book through bookstores, a publishing house is behind them.
Self Publishing Ebooks
While the publication of eBooks on the car? Even if his non-fiction and highly concentrated, so it's a wonderful way to release himself.
There are many ways to the Internet, but also for non-fiction work focused niche nothing better than E-Junkie.com.
Your installation is to be understood as simple and easy. Simply upload your PDF file, enter your contact information to set your course and you get the code for "Buy It Now" button to place on your website, that buyers take directly to your product download.
Her book is also available for purchase directly through the website E-junkie.
You receive the entire purchase price paid into your PayPal account. Your only expenses of self-publishing are $ 5 per month, you pay for your E-junkie. And for $ 5, you can total of 10 ebooks.
There is a lot.
For fiction or memory, is the best option Smashwords.com.
Smash Words have an automated system, your eBook in various digital media convert or read on an iPhone Kindle.
The best thing is to have the reader to the site navigation for the new works of fiction and nonfiction, if you have a chance of new readers to win your work.
The site offers a very small portion of the royalties.
I own a book - my memory - like an e-book with Smash Words, and I self published ebooks - niche non-fiction owned - published with E-junkie and I recommend both.
So if you're interested in a self-published novel, it is certainly the time to do it!
