Now in Paperback Using Draft2Digtal
Dream Interpretation for the Mystical Soul is now in paperback! It’s still in the process of being distributed to some bookstores. Although you can purchase it on Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and Blackwells. Or ask your local library to order a copy.
The ProcessIn the past, I used Ingram Sparks to publish my paperbacks. Ingram is the Indie side of Lightning Source. They are the main distributor of the world’s paperbacks, especially print-on-demand (POD).
Sadly, Ingram can be difficult to use. I’m more of a creative tech and become frustrated with other types of tech. Therefore, I would rather pay someone to format the cover and another person to format the written text into a document according to Ingram’s specifications. Sometimes these professionals had to make corrections before Ingram approved the book. It cost me several hundred dollars to have a book printed.
I decided to try Draft2Digital (D2D) this time since they use Ingram Sparks to print the books. D2D takes a percentage of my earnings, but any money I make is a profit instead of covering the professional fees.
The process was much simpler than Ingram because D2D has templates for the interior. I just had to make simple adjustments. The cover template was easy to do, too. There was an issue with a small white line at the bottom of the cover with the first print proof copy I received. I sent them an email with a picture. A fast reply let me know that I couldn’t fix it, yet they could. My second proof copy was perfect.
In ConclusionIt’s up to you whether you want to use D2D. You might choose to use Ingram and/or Amazon print to cut out the middleman.
Draft2Digital print works better for me because it’s easier than Ingram. Plus, I don’t have to pay anyone and wait for them to do the formatting.
Again, Dream Interpretation for the Mystical Soul is now in paperback. You can purchase it at online bookstores or order it from your favorite bookshop.
