Writing and Publishing

Good Luck with the new book.

Have fun with the promotion of it. I’ll probably be seeing your name on some of the Facebook Groups and don’t forget to send a copy to each of the lorry-driving magazines. What else have you got planned?

I found RRP is tricky to set with Creatspace. Amazon want such a big percentage of the price that it is tempting to cut down your royalties so that the book is better value for money. But then you get only peanuts for all your hard work. Amazon seem to want the big mark-up so they can offer free-shipping or discount the RRP if they think it will increase sales. I find the Amazon web-site is good for promoting a book through their “You-may-also-like” and their “Buyers-also-bought” features. That’s where most of my sales now come from.
