Sara,
tell us about your latest project Bookstore Without Borders.
Bookstore Without Borders is whole new kind
of bookstore for Independently Published eBooks. Indie authors have a lot of
choices when it comes to their books.
Covers, content, marketing strategies, but up until now they haven't had
a lot of choice when it comes to selling their eBooks. Major retailers take large commissions, or
bookseller fees, for each book sale.
Across the industry between 30-75% of the price of the item goes to the
bookseller. Until now.
Bookstore Without Borders is a new kind of eBookstore
for Indie authors that doesn't take commissions. Every penny an author earns
goes directly into their own PayPal account (PayPal fees do apply).
We think authors should take home more of the
money they earn. The industry has
changed a lot in the past 10 years and authors are still losing a huge
percentage of their book sales to bookstores for delivering a completely digital
product. Bookstore Without Borders wants
authors to take home more of the money they earn so that they can do what they
love. Write.
For a small one-time sign-up fee, our
service gives each author the ability to edit and update their own biography
page at any time as well as being able to add to and edit their eBook inventory.
Is
Bookstore Without Borders open to all eBooks?
We're open to Independently published
eBooks, including re-released traditionally published books. We are a family-oriented store, so we are not
open to erotica or eBooks that fall into the 18+ category.
How
can our readers get their independently published eBooks into the Bookstore
Without Borders store?
When you buy an Author Marketing Platform
from BWB you get an author homepage and space to sell up to 12 eBooks. If you don’t have 12 eBooks, that’s okay,
those spaces never expire. If you have
more than 12 eBooks, additional space can be purchased. It's as simple as that.
How
does BWB help authors other than commission-free eBook sales?
I work with a team of professionals that
have designed, built and marketed thousands of websites. Some of our services include:
- Editorial Services
- Cover Design
- Internet Marketing
- Website Design
- Website Hosting
- Homepages for Illustrators
- Homepages for Freelance Editors
How
does someone get started selling their books on BWB?
It's simple. Visit www.bookstorewithoutborders.com and
click sign up. Once you've filled out
the short form you will get an email with login instructions. Once you are in the member are, you can pick
and choose from all of our services. If
you have questions, our friendly knowledgeable staff are there to help.
Way cool, Sara!
