| Description: | Book publishing recommendations for aspiring and established authors? Find a Good Book Distributor: Distributors vary widely in price and services. Print-on-demand services like First Edition Design Publishing are some of the most cost-effective methods of distribution for self-publishing a book. Instead of paying to have hundreds of copies printed at once, your book is only printed when it's ordered. In addition, First Edition Design Publishing's distribution reach to online retailers and physical retailers is unmatched.
Find a distributor/wholesaler: Companies such as First Edition Design Publishing, will work with self-publishers in getting the word out about your book. They have national databases filled with titles that bookstores and libraries like to order from. However, there is a price in using their services. Most expect 55% of the retail price of the book. (15% for them/40% for the bookstore is the general rule.) Typically you will not use a distributor if you're only printing a few hundred books, until the sales of your book begin to grow.
Keep in touch with your fans. As bestselling writer Bella Andre told DBW (Digital Book World): When I released my first original self-published story (LOVE ME) in July 2010 I took a week and wrote a personal email to everyone who had ever written to me in the previous five years. Almost every one of them wrote back to say, "Wow, I can't believe you still had my email!" LOVE ME was a sequel to a book that Pocket had put out in 2005 (TAKE ME). For five years readers sent me email asking for the sequel. It was a thrill to finally be able to give it to them.
