High Quality, Full Color Books Suitable for a Book Store
The first question your editor will ask you to think about is, who are you writing for? You may be creating a book as a family heirloom to be distributed as a gift to relatives. You may be hoping for a wider distribution than your circle of family and friends. Your goals for your book will determine the appropriate printing format and the apporpriate printing service.
Allow us to help you with this complicated decision, as the world of commercial printing is rather complex. We will format your book according to the printing option you select, so that your files are suitable for submission. Your book can be a full-color hardcover of the highest-quality (and therefore more costly) or it can be printed as an inexpensive black and white softcover format, which is more suitable for wide resale distribution.
Print Just One Copy, or as Many as You Want
Thanks to new digital printing services, you can order just one copy of your book, or as many more as you want. This makes creating a book more affordable than ever. Our authors in the Complete Author's Program receive their first book free of charge. You may wish to order additional copies, which you can order through us (at no additional charge) or directly from the printer. Your book will remain available to you if you wish to order additional copies later.
Another option is to make your book available in online bookstores. This allows your family, friends, and other readers to order their own copies at no cost to you, and at a potential profit if you wish to market to a wide audience.. As a Stories To Tell author, you can talk these options over with your editor.
