Publishing Your Paperback

For those of you wanting to publish your book in a paperback version, I highly recommend working with www.createspace.com.  This company works closely with you on the myraid of details required to make your e-book into a paperback.  They have tutorials, templates and you can also pay for consulting services.  I did not use the consulting services since I have a professional Photoshop creative expert right in my family (aka-my brother Karl).  I also have a fantastic agent (Thomas) and final editor (Melanie) so I was set!

CreateSpace does not charge for any of the services until you order your first proof book.  They help you with pricing, dsitribution, royalties and everything else you never knew you needed to know.  (That sure would be a snazzy title for a book....hmmmm.)  Anyway, they have top notch customer service and are wonderful to work with on your masterpiece.  CreateSpace is also an Amazon owned company so your book is linked right on to Amazon.  Not bad, eh?

It is also print on demand so when someone buys your book, just one is printed for them.  You don't have to order 1,000 and store them in your garage! 

If you have any questions about how to make all this happen, let me know.  I am an expert with this company now!
