@honeydue, I have decided to sell my book myself and I wanted to know what you were referring to when you said there are a lot of free and easy ways of getting the book out there? Besides "steemshop" of course! lol
I went with Amazon KDP (Kindle), CreateSpace (which makes paperbacks per demand and is also belonging to Amazon) and Draft2Digital (which distributed to Barnes&Noble, Kobo, iTunes and a bunch of other places.
I recommend going with D2Dfirst, as they format your manuscript really nicely and then you can use that to create the others. The CreateSpace is a bit of trouble, esp. designing your cover, but you can create something pretty nice with a bit of work. And they're all free to use.
Since Amazon Kindle is like 80% of ebook sales, it's as out there as you can get. And the paperback option is nice too, I guess (they also do paperbacks - KDP paperback - and I think you should go with them,as opposed to CreateSpace, because I heard they're slowly closing shop..).
thank you so much. I had a look at D2D, they have a nice deal except they would withold 30% for income tax because I am outside the US. So that is not worth my while. I will have a look amazon kindle and try that route once more. thanks for all the info!
Well, everyone does that, both Kdp and Cs...it's law. I'm outside of the US too
