A Lulu Store. A CreateSpace store. An Amazon Paperback listing.
Hundreds of books would sell at readings, and events, at Italian restaurants, wine tasting dinners, local writer events and more. There was a video interview aired on Raleigh public television and posted on YouTube, and many photo opportunities.
We would learn that the cost of producing a print on demand book on CreateSpace could easily be half of what it cost on Lulu.
That fancy fonts might not be worth the effort because they may not show up right through the PDF format that gets loaded into a print on demand site.
That creating a new edition of a book most likely means losing access to previous reviews, unless one is able to update the current edition of the book.
That a 50/50 split of the cover price to get a book into a local bookstore might mean losing money for the author if the book production and delivery price is over half the cover price, a not-uncommon situation.
That formatting for Kindle’s ebook requires HTML.
In March 2010, Stacey Cochran, author, ebook publisher, and organizer ofRaleigh Write to Publish and Write to Publish groups in other cities, would sign The Other Side of Tuscany as Stacey Cochran Books’ first contract, and publishthe ebook version on Amazon through Kindle.
We would also learn that the 99 cent copies of ebooks on Kindle, at first sounding like ridiculously low prices, in fact are turning out to be revenue generators, as they are affordable enough for people to buy them with great ease.
That volume sales can balloon if the books is popular.
And, that marketing a book can go on for the rest of one’s living days!
