To Anyone Out There:  If I want to sell my own books on a website ... how much would a 240 page gothis romance ...(its sequel) 479 page ... and a 202 page mystery/suspense ... soft cover 5x9 sell for?  I am going to start a website of  my own and sell my books myself and not wait for PA to do it for me  ... which would take forever and make me pay "millions" to do it.  If anyone of you have any ideas, please let me know.  I just don't know what to charge and PA's book prices are just too high to deal with.  Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!

I use Create Space and have found them economical. My latest book is only 356 pages long and it sells at $12.95 plus S&H.  I make around $6.00 on each sold but have also invested the $39.00 for total distribution. I can't tell you what you should do, but this is the direction I decided to go since many of those self publishing companies charge an arm and a leg. You can take a look at my finished products on authors.com by scrolling down through the names to Ault, Thomas.

I am going to start my own website w/my daughter to sell my books.  How much would a 240 ps Gothic Romance: its 479 pg sequel: and a 202 pg mystery/suspense: 5x7 soft cover sell for?  I, also, have a 4th that is ready to go to publisher (with cover).  If anyone can help me w/prices it would be appreicated.

Hi everyone. I'm new to the self-publishing thing and looking to learn as much as I can about it all. I'll be checking in a lot to keep up on what might work & hope to get to know you all along the way.

Hello all,

 

I used a partnership publisher for my first novel. Mirador Publishing are based in the UK, and are a small, independent company. I contributed towards publication of my book in paperback and ebook format, and they arranged for design of artwork with my approval, they advised me in editing the manuscript, they built me a dedicated website http://www.catherine-green.co.uk, and they took care of all the essential preparations such as obtaining  the ISBN and listing the book on Amazon and the national book wholesaler Gardners catalogues.

The only thing is they don't have a marketing budget, so that's largely down to me, but my editor is very helpful and always available when I need her. It depends how much work you want to do. For me I knew I wanted a paperback as well as an ebook, so I had to find a 'real' publisher. It was a much easier process, and I would say definitly worth the money (£575 GBP).

 

Hope this helps...

It is one of the ironies of medicine that radiation, as in x-rays, CT scans, radiation therapy and nuclear medicine can cause cancer yet can be used to detect and treat cancer. Perhaps because of this irony, most of us know very little about radiation dangers. Often we simply trust our doctors and caregivers to do what is right. In the majority of cases, this mutual trust system works well. But what happens when the system fails? A recent study suggests that 15,000 people are projected to die within the coming years from the radiation they received from x-ray procedures! How can we protect ourselves? There have been reports of patients experiencing serious radiation overdose causing reddening of the skin, hair loss, cataract formation, or burns that cannot heal. These dangers are real! Last year 3000 patients were treated for serious radiation burns at a wound care facility. The Dangers of Medical Radiation guides you through the common radiation procedures. It gives an insider account of the pitfalls: procedures to avoid if possible; how to minimize your risks; questions to ask; plus the knowledge you need to protect yourself

 

This self-help book is intended for the general public, and for anyone interested in health, radiation dangers and medicine. Book information: Price: $15.99; $9.99 eBook. ISBN-13: 978-0-9829774-1-5. ISBN -13: eBook 978-0-9829774-2-2. Language: English. Paperback: 104p. Product Dimensions: 5.5 x 8.5.

 

The book is available from Amazon or from dlitepress.comDLite Press

I used Friesen Press to publish my first book. I will use them for my second book which is already in process. They got me placed on Amazon.com, Barnes and Nobles.com as well as their on-line bookstore. They also got me placed in first position on Google. I am very happy with them. Renee' Layberry is my account rep. She is amazing....

My first book came out November of 2010.  I ended up going with AuthorHouse, which so far my experience hasn't been too bad.  The biggest problem with my book is it's extremely controversial, so it's really hard to get anyone willing to talk about it, media-wise.  I've found one bookstore who has a consignment program for local authors.  Both the store and I make more per copy, because we basically split what a wholesaler would have made off my book.  I'm just so surprised no other bookstores in my area seem to want to do a consignment.
