Thanks so much! That always feels good to hear. : )
Thank you for sharing your wonderful talent. I really enjoy the Mitzy Mysteries. You are a blessing to me and my family. The most important is that you are an encourager and I feel so loved. Thank you.
I just happened upon your blog and so glad I did. I’ve a question about POD and children’s storybooks? Is it doable? Does it work as well as with a novel or longer work?
God Bless,
Bryan
Sorry! I missed the actual question the first time I saw your comment. : )
The short answer is, yes, it is totally doable. I met a Children’s author recently who had self published a charming Coast Guard themed alphabet book (http://www.amazon.com/Coasties-Guard-Us-Through-Z/dp/144211813X/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1322251349&sr=8-1.) I think children’s books may do better as a POD than as an Ebook right now, in fact.
The only trouble I can see is just with formatting. But then, I hate formatting! So if you have a handle on the art and the computer side of the book I don’t see anything in the way of making it work.
I am finding that ordering boxes of your POD books to sell out of hand is more successful than just leaving the sales to the online retailers. : ) This would be especially effective if you could combine doing readings and story times with your books at the local library or schools.
blessings!
Traci, I’ve got you on FB but can’t find you on Twitter…wanted to share your book download there.
Thanks for finding me! I’m @tracitynehilton on twitter. : )
I just hope whoever witres these keeps writing more!
Soooo… I know you transfered your FB account to a professional one and we are supposed to be fans, but I can’t find it anywhere. FB says you don’t exist. Therefore I googled you. I can’t not have Traci banter in my life.
Check your “likes” on FB…it should have automatically turned you from a “friend” on my profile to a “fan” of the author page. : ) You were one of the reasons this was a hard decision!
