2: FEATURE ARTICLE: Selling Your Print On Demand (POD) Book
To Bookstores By Angela Hoy
------------------------------------------------------------

During the past month, I've received dozens of emails from
concerned authors who have heard rumors that bookstores won't
sell their print on demand (POD) books. While this may be true
in some cases, it's certainly not the standard. And, these rumors
shouldn't discourage you at all from self-publishing your book
through affordable print on demand publishing.

NOTHING NEW
As with POD, not being able to land a book in a bookstore is
common in the traditional publishing world, too. Not every
book published gets shelf space in every bookstore. If all
traditionally published books got shelf space in bookstores,
publishers wouldn't print those glossy catalogs for bookstores
every quarter, and they wouldn't have those large teams of
salespeople pitching book titles far and wide to bookstore owners.

LOCAL BOOKSTORES
We do know of many Booklocker.com authors who are successfully
placing their books in local bookstores. And, they're not the
only ones. Knowing how to pitch your book as a local "celebrity"
does wonders for landing your book on local shelves.

WHERE ARE YOUR CUSTOMERS?
If you're doing your marketing online, your customers are going
to go to the website where you direct them to buy your book. They're
not going to drive to their bookstore if they can get your book from
your POD publisher, your website, or Amazon. Your readers are going
to buy your book where you tell them to buy your book.

ARE YOU A CELEBRITY?
Unless you have garnered national press, getting your book in
every bookstore will in no way guarantee sales. And, when you
do get that press, the article/radio talk show/television show
will tell people where to get your book if it's not available
nationwide.

MY STORY
My book, co-authored with MJ Rose, How to Publish and Promote
Online, sold very, VERY well at Amazon. We were down to a ranking
of 300 one day (out of more than a million books listed).

On January 1st, my local Borders put three copies of our book on
their shelf. As of today, there are still three copies of our book
on that shelf. Not one book has sold here, but thousands have sold
on Amazon. Even though we garnered national press, including
Writers Digest, Publisher's Weekly, and more, the readers bought
the book from where the press told them to buy it...at Amazon.
And, this book is NOT A POD.

ANOTHER SUCCESS STORY
Susie Bright, the world-famous editor of the Herotica and The
Best American Erotica series, just published her new book, How
To Read/Write a Dirty Story, through us. Before the book was
even available in print, it was featured in Wired.com.

Being a brilliant self-marketer is a huge plus in promoting a
POD book online. From Susie's own book description:

"I hope you'll enjoy the writing exercises I've included..."
(Getting the reader involved in the book right away by offering
something interactive and fun!)

and

"I’ve revealed my own explicit adventures in erotic publishing,
from the creative inspiration to the nitty-gritty economics..."
(She uses these phrases not only in marketing to readers, but also
in marketing to book reviewers and the press...because every reporter
is also a writer!)

So, are bookstores going to carry her book? You betcha! Not one
bookstore owner has complained about the 20% discount and no returns
policy. They're just darned happy that customers are calling their
store to see when they can get their copy of Susie Bright's new book.
However, since every press story on her book directs buyers to our
website, online sales are far exceeding bookstore sales.

So, you see? Buyers are going where the press and Susie's website
tell them to go to buy the book!

CHILDREN'S BOOK SUCCESS STORY
Ron Boisseau and Dennis Ross, authors of the POD book The Adventures
of Sammy Sumner, successfully convinced five more bookstores to
carry their book...in only one weekend! No, none of the stores balked
at the 20% discount and no-returns policy.

INGRAM
All POD books at Booklocker.com are now also distributed by Ingram,
and we have the option of listing each book in their catalog. Through
Ingram, we stipulate a 20% discount and no returns. Does this mean
each book is in every bookstore? Heck no. But it does make it very
easy for bookstores to order the books if they need to.

SO...
No, not every book, whether traditional or POD, will be in every
bookstore...but your chances of getting that worm are nil anyway.
Concentrate on the fact that you can get your book published very
affordably in a beautiful, print, perfect bound format ($199 at
Booklocker.com), and delve into online marketing!

I know many authors who are making more through their ebooks and
POD books than they ever made on their traditional publishing contracts.
Many tradionally published authors never make more than their advance,
which, in the vast majority of cases, is paltry at best.

With Print on Demand, your book stays in print as long as you
want...and you're the one in charge of the marketing and how
many books you sell.

4: Interview: Russell Pond (Interviewed by Dallas Franklin)
------------------------------------------------------------

1. Writers are encouraged to write daily and find their voice.
Do you feel you have more than one voice in your writing?

RP: About twelve years ago, I started keeping an electronic
journal, writing often to express my thoughts, ideas, frustrations
and prayers. At first, my writing was very technical and logical.
The thoughts were laid out in an orderly fashion with solutions
to the problems. As I began letting go of those left-brained
tendencies, the flow was released. Certain writing styles started
appealing to me. It became an art, not just a vent. Over time, I
did notice that voice in my writing. During that dark season
in my life, that voice became obvious. Now that that season
has come and gone, I'm starting to sense a new voice. It's exciting.

2. When did your passion for writing begin?

RP:To quote the first paragraph of my electronic journal:
Today, June 10, 1991, is a new beginning for me. A change in
my life is about to take place, and it's going to be great. I
have no idea what's in store for me, but that's why I am writing.
I want to document everything that happens to me: thoughts,
actions, trials, successes, failures, changes, and victories.

When I wrote that, I wasn't sure what life had in store, but I
knew deep down something was going to change. Something had to
change. Twelve years later, it's obvious to me how different my
life is from that hot, summer day in 1991. That day launched my
journey into writing, and my passions continue to grow.

3. What inspired you to keep writing while collecting rejection
letters or struggling with writers block?

RP:My motivation for writing doesn't come from recognition or
financial gain. In the simplest of terms, my life has changed.
I'm no longer the fearful, anxious, mentally crippled person
I was a decade ago. And, I want to share that hope with those
who know this mental bondage of anxiety and fear.

4. How do you come up with ideas for your writings and why do
you feel you choose some over others?

RP:The short messages in this devotional are experiential. I
don't write about ideas or theories. I write about how my life
was changed. Each story comes from an experience, a practical
application or something that has worked in my life. It's very
easy to write about something you know works in your life. The
times I felt myself drifting into the uncharted territory of
theories and hearsay, then I knew it was time to cut and edit.

5. Are you a daily disciplined writer? Do you find it difficult
to stick to your schedule? Do you have certain tricks you use so
that you don't stray from your writing?

RP:I journal on a regular basis. Sometimes it comes like a flood.
Other times, I'm thrilled to get a sentence. Those quiet times in
the morning are most cherished. The family is still asleep. The
sun hasn't risen. Silence speaks so clearly. It's wonderful!

6. How much time do you devote to marketing your book/s and what
kind of marketing do you recommend?

RP:This book is a book of stories, testimonies of what God has
done in my life. Most approaches to overcoming anxiety and panic
on the market today are not faith-based. There are a variety of
secular programs out there, each with a unique solution. But my
story is different. Similar to Alcoholics Anonymous, my hope comes
from a Higher Power, One that you can draw strength from in your
time of need. Because it's a faith-based devotional, it's quite a
niche market. But, anxiety and fear are running rampant in our
culture, and sadly, the market is growing.

Much of my marketing is done through the Internet. The Season of
Peace website (www.season.org) shares my testimony and provides
resources for those wanting more information about overcoming fear
and anxiety.

7. How do you prepare for a writing idea for fiction? Do you
outline the characters, setting, plot, etc. before you begin
to write?

RP: I haven't delved into fiction. Yet. But, it's a dream of mine.

8. How many rewrites do you usually write before submitting to a
publisher?

RP:Too many. My perfectionist, left-brained tendencies compel me
to edit and edit and edit. Truly, an artist's work is never finished
just abandoned. Or so I'd like to think.

9. Have you had any bad experiences in working with a publisher/agent
or failed publication/payment of writings done? If so, how did you
handle it?

RP: Honestly, I haven't had any bad experiences. Being self-
published, I've been doing this myself and haven't had the need
to interact much with publishers and agents. But, I'm looking
forward to the challenge.

10. Who are your favorite authors, and why do they inspire
you?

RP: One of my favorite authors is Max Lucado. His writing
style is simply beautiful. Truly art. There are so many times,
while reading his books, that I get lost in the style of his
writing and completely miss the message. I'm so captivated by
his style that it truly inspires me to write.

8: GUEST ARTICLE: Write Handed by Daniel Shaurette
------------------------------------------------------------

"Did you write the book of love
And do you have faith in God above?
If the Bible tells you so.
Now do you believe in Rock 'n' roll
And can music save your mortal soul
And can you teach me how to dance real slow?"
-- "American Pie", Don McLean

Music is often the muse that inspires me to write. That song
with the infectious beat and the soulful lyrics. The one
that seemed to have been written just for me. Played on the
radio as if God himself was the DJ and he knew just what I needed
to hear. No particular genre; I listen to it all. Everything
from Mozart to Madonna to Marilyn Manson. From Genesis to Godsmack.
From Abba to ZZ Top and everything in between. If it speaks to
me, and moves me, you'll probably find a quote from it in a short
story or a presenting a chapter in my novel.

That being said I have to admit, when I start writing, I seem to
become the instrument of the muse. The music falls to the
background and my story plays before me like a well-choreographed
movie. I never feel like I am the director however, instead I
feel like the cameraman trying to keep up with the action,
recording it in my word processor or handy-dandy notebook. This
is as true today as it was when I started writing in college.

I wrote my first novel almost a decade ago. Today, the paperback
and e-book can be bought online thanks to the modern miracle of
print-on-demand publishing. Ten years seems like a lot of time
because of everything life has brought me in that time. In the
spans of time involving my book though, it seems more like an
overnight rush.

I still remember 1993. I remember I was bored with college, but
knew it was the key to my future. Not just a career in software
design, which my Bachelor's degree in Computer Science has afforded
me, but in appreciating the world around me. College can be
frightening as well as exhilarating. It can also be a very lonely
place. I think that's why sororities and fraternities exist -- to
help people feel like they belong somewhere. I never joined a
fraternity house, though I often imagined I'd fit in well at Lambda
Lambda Lambda (from "Revenge of the Nerds").

It was this loneliness that inspired me to write a poem, about the
Woman of My Dreams, someone I imagined I'd never meet in the flesh.
She was my muse and still is. It was a dark, gothic poem that in
turn inspired me to write my first real short story, "For The Blood
Is The Life". After sharing this story with some friends of mine,
they suggested it could make a really good book if there was some
meat to it. A 5,000 word story became a 50,000 word novella by the
end of 1993. It was written down in my notebooks for school, when I
should have been taking notes in class. Research about compiler
design or calculus was derailed into history of the Salem Witch Trials.
Late night cram sessions turned into sleepless nights pulling whole
chapters out of the ether of my dreams.

I am not sure who said it first, but I am fond of quoting the
following painful piece of advice I have for my fellow authors,
"Writing is easy; getting published is the hard part." I of course
believed my story was good and deserved to be published. I never,
ever expected to get rich or famous from my book. Odds are I'll
win the lottery first. My overriding concern was that it be written.
What started as a simple story came to life and demanded to be told.
My winged muse was there, not only supplying the story, but driving
me hard to write it. I would have gone insane had I ignored her.
("I do not suffer from insanity; I enjoy every minute of it.")

I excitedly sent my manuscript to the Registar of Copyrights at the
Library of Congress. Once secure in the knowledge that no one would
be able to claim my masterpiece as their own, I set out to have it
published. It was quickly and repeatedly rejected. I kept my first
rejection letter, from Tor Books. It would appear to be a standard
template rejection, feigning a polite respect for my work, but alas,
they were not interested in my manuscript. I kept it not only because
it was the first of many rejection letters, but because it was in
desperate need of an Editor! (This letter is now immortalized by
Jennifer Hollowell's Writers' Block Project.)

If I can offer any advice at all to you, it is: do not give up on your
manuscript. If it was meant to be written, it was meant to be read.
Even if it is only your small circle of friends who get the joy of
reading it now, someone else out there is bound to want to read it.
You must get it in their hands. Thankfully, the big publishing
corporations are not the only place to solicit.

I considered vanity presses, but they wanted an outrageous amount
of money (from my starving student perspective) to print a limited
number of copies, that I'd have to house and distribute myself. No
thank you. I searched for an agent, and did eventually find one.
He has turned out to be a great friend, mentor, and editor. But for
all of his good work, and bad health, he has yet to succeed where I
failed on my own. He's still trying, and I love him for it.

With his permission, I decided to try to something new. At the turn
of the millennium, a new concept in publishing was emerging: print-
on-demand. There were a handful out there, and most were limited in
scope. Some seemed no better than a vanity press. Others simply
provided web space for people to read their books online. Many were
expensive. Then I found Xlibris.com.

At the time, they offered their basic services for free. Sure, I
could pay for various premium services, like cover artwork design,
special fonts and layouts, etc. I opted for the free service, and
got what I paid for. They did create a nice cover, and internal layout,
and did sell my book in print for me. They charged $16 for a 178 page
paperback version, and $8 for a PDF e-book version. Not too bad, and
delivery turnaround was about 7 days at the most. Their website must
be popular because my book sold an average of a book a month. Truth
be told, I imagine most sales came from Amazon.com. Pretty cool for
a book that sat on slush piles for years prior to this.

Xlibris soon realized however, that authors like me outnumbered those
willing to pay for their services. They eventually started charging
new authors a minimum of $300, and raised the prices of all of their
books. Currently, my book sells through them for more than $20. A price
even I wouldn't pay for a good book. Sadly, virtually no one else has
bought it since then.

In 2002, I discovered a new POD publisher called Booksurge.com.
They charge $100 to publish a manuscript if the author provides
them a PDF or other format manuscript file that is ready to publish.
Adobe.com allows anyone to make up to three free PDF files from MS
Word and other word processor files. Check it out, I highly recommend
it even if you just want to make a file for friends to read for free.
I then found PDF-Xchange software (from www.docu-track.com) that only
costs about $40 that lets you print ANY Windows document to a PDF file.
This was a major find for me as it has meant I could make a copy of
my manuscript look EXACTLY how I wanted my novel to be printed. I
created a cover layout using Booksurge's template, and submitted
both files to them.

I have been very impressed with their service and support, and
they are the POD I recommend to all of my fellow authors looking
for a POD solution. They do charge extra for editing services,
promotional materials, etc. I would strongly suggest you edit,
review, and re-edit any manuscript you want to submit to any POD
publisher. You will be charged a large fee for any changes you
need to make after the initial submission. Booksurge, as any
decent publisher should, provided me a free galley proof to review
before committing to my design.

Thanks to Booksurge, not only did I have full control over how
my book looks, but they sell the book for only $12.95 and still
have a turnaround of less than a week for delivery. My book has
seen a new life because of this "second printing" as it was. As
satisfying as it was to write my book, finally holding a
professionally printed copy in my hands, has been incredible.

I wish you all luck with your works. Authors are a unique breed
of artist. We have no paints and brushes, no musical instruments,
no celluloid film nor cathode ray tubes to present our art.
We have paper and ink, a monochrome serial collection of words to
express ourselves. We have language and grammar to restrict us.
But our landscape is the human imagination, and we can shape that
medium into something more permanent than marble. In the beginning
there was the word, and it is still good.
