I always wonder why people still let books go out of print when Amazon is happy to print on demand.

BookSurge: Out of Print is Out of Date.

Default Your Books and Publishing

Hi Erin.

So glad that you let us know about this. Your book was on my Yule Wish list at Amazon but I am buying it right this minute to ensure that I get it.

I have been thinking of, putting out intentions on, and secretly planning to start my own publishing company for about four years now.

I have a lot of questions for you and will email you if you have time.

Questions like: How do you get the upfront money? How do you find a printer who prints quality books? How do you design the book layout and get cover art? How do you get in with distributors? What legalities do you need to deal with to start the company? How does one get in at Amazon and does the "look inside this book" option cost a lot more? And is all that financial input worth it for the end profit or is it a lot of work for not much return?

I will email you and hope that you've got time to reply.

Serge says hi as well, I hear that you and Steve ran into him in NYC. Funny that he was there for Eckhart Tolle at the same time that you guys were there. He called me from Times Square all amazed at the beauty and oddity of this great universe.

Bright Blessings!

-Vera Nadine

Vera, get Dan Poynter's book about self-publishing. I used his method for both of my books.

Para Publishing - Welcome to Para Publishing

yes running into Serge there and when he didn't even know we were going to be there was really weird

Talking Thanks Erin!

Cool Erin! Thanks so much!

Which of his books did you use, if you remember the title?

Would you say that overall the self-publishing experience was worth the financial input in the long-run?

Thanks again for the tip!

Blessings,

Vera

Wink Oh I found it...

Hi Erin.

Thanks again, his website is filled with useful, I don't know how I could ever read it all!

I'll be ordering a couple of ebooks tonight.

I would still love to hear if you thought the self-publishing process worth the input or if you would suggest simply putting the effort into finding a publisher elsewhere.

Take care!

-Vera

HI Vera,

I actually have a lot to say about self publishing but I'm very under the weather at the moment so I am going to have to get back to when I can think clearly. Stand by
