Proof Copies for Print Books

I have been self-publishing since 201.  E-Books on Kindle is easier to publish than Print books.  I have been using Createspace  since 2011. 

I always order a Proof Copy of the Print Copy so I can hold it and see what it exactly what the book looks like.  You can review it on the computer.  I order a copy.  I paid $2.15 plus shipping and handling, under ten dollars. 

Then If I want to make changes I can and repeat the process over again. 



I used this cover for my print Version of Write and Publish Your Zombie Apocalypse Story
It is in E-Book Format 


I am in the process of putting all my E-Books into Print.


This is the first Episode of Me Vs Zombies  Zombies On Board  Print

Something about holding a book in my hands.  I like it rather than the kindle, but times are changing and I am trying to adjust.

I realize that kindle starting to do print books.  Right now you can get your book in print, but you can not order print books or order copies at a discount, to sell them on your own at book signing for wherever or just to give them away for promotion.

I read that they will phase out Createspace once Kindle gets their up and running.  I like createspace because I learned how to do it, now I will have to learn how to do it on Kindle, which I will.
l
For now I will stay with Createspace until I have to move over to Kindle. 

Do you have books in Print?  What is stopping you from doing so?

Writing When Sick

I didn't feel good the last two days.  I slept a lot, but I was still thinking about my writing.  I did sit on the couch with my laptop and did some writing, though that I know that I need to do rewrite, but I did write.  Today I feel better and hopefully I will get more pages into the computer.  I started the rewrite of a novel that has been rejected 20 times and I will get it back on the market. So that I it.  I am going to start writing and get this done. What are you working on??? This is a new year.....New Beginning.

Don't Be Scammed

This is my number one pet peeve on being self published.  There are people, website, and courses out there, that want your money. THINK BEFORE YOU SPEND! There are websites out there that will charge you for services that you can learn to do yourself.  If you don't want to learn these things that is fine, pay for it.  But if the reason that you are paying for services is because you don't t think you can, you are totally wrong. I have said this before and I am saying it again.  I knew nothing when I started in 2011,  I had a computer.  I had no idea how to send a file via e-mail. I had no idea what to do one I got the file back from the formatter.  How do I get it uploaded on Amazon.  I had no idea that I had more than one drive on the computer.  I downloaded a file and had no idea where it went. If you are thinking that you can not learn this.  I am proof you can learn if you set your mind to it and are willing to learn. Don't...
