Have you wanted to set your print book up on pre-order. Well you’re in luck because today we’re continuing our Self publishing books off Amazon series and pre-orders for print books is one of the many options on Barnes & Noble press. So stick around.
Barnes and noble press, formerly known as nook press, is another great option for self publishing books off amazon. While yes, you can use an aggregator like Draft2Digital or Smashwords to upload to Barnes & Noble, publishing on Barnes and Noble directly can ensure you maximize your royalties. Enough jibber, jabber, let’s get started:
Now that you’ve gotten your book uploaded, have you thought about the audiobook? Maybe even narrating the audiobook yourself? Check out this video right here where we discuss narrating your own book. Or you can check out this video that RU-vid says you’ll love.
I’ll catch in the next video and remember to write right.

What does embedding a font mean? How is it done & is it a pain to do?

@KeithWheelerBooks 5 месяцев назад

Embedding your fonts within your document is basically locking the fonts in place as they appear. It’s kind of like if someone took a picture of you next to a movie standee. While in person you and the standee are clearly separate elements, once the picture is created, you both appear to be the same dimensions. That’s the way it is with fonts. By embedding your fonts, you ensure everyone is seeing your words exactly as you intended. If you don’t embed them and the person is reading it on a kindle device and doesn’t have access to that font, the device will use a different font which may not layout the same as your intended font. For the print version, the printing house may not have access to that font so, again, what they print may not appear as you intended. This can not only affect the look of your font, but your font spacing, line spacing, etc. As for how easy or difficult it is, depends on what your original software you wrote it in is. The good news is that you can simply look up “how to embed fonts in ____” and get the steps. I hope this helps.

Hi! I recently set up my book with B&N Press, around 2 weeks ago and the book it still processing... With little support, this has been a major frustration. Have you heard of processing times taking longer than normal? I’m not sure what to do. I also need to make a minor adjustment and am afraid when I am able, the process will start all over again. I’d appreciate any advice, thanks for the video!

@KeithWheelerBooks 2 года назад

Oh I definitely can understand your frustration. I know that, in general, processing times take longer around the holidays and with some companies still running short staffed it’s probably even worse this year. That said, 2 weeks is ridiculous! I wonder if there was some kink in the system and you doing your update and resubmitting may actually help expedite things.(like rebooting your computer when it starts getting laggy) Just an idea, I’m not sure it’ll work, but it’s worth a shot. Keep working hard and I wish you the Best of luck!

@UniverseEarthSpirit 2 года назад

Appreciate your response and suggestion. Yes, it’s seems like a kink. I tried to delete the book to try to start over, but because it’s being processed, I can’t even delete it. So, at this time, All I can do is wait for a response from their email support. Thanks again.

@KeithWheelerBooks 4 года назад

That’s a great idea for a future video. As for expanded distribution, you are correct, Barnes & Noble Press only goes out to their website. You can absolutely publish the same book on multiple sites, if you own the isbn. Be sure to use the same isbn across all platforms for the same “version” of the book. (Ie. The hardcover should have the same isbn regardless of the site it’s uploaded to. The paperback will have a separate isbn from the hardcover, but it should be the same for every paperback, regardless of the site.) I hope this helps.

I’m not sure what you mean by “bin number”. If you’re referring to the ISBN, yes your isbn is searchable on Amazon, though it’s a lot easier for a consumer to remember your title than a long string of numbers. As for making it available on kindle or ebook, you just need to go into your KDP dashboard, find the print version that you’ve uploaded and there should be an option to create the ebook version.

@KeithWheelerBooks 4 года назад

I don’t currently have a video on barcodes. Since most platforms add them to your book automatically, I really don’t see a point in excluding them. Also, remember that we want our books to compete with traditionally published books, so if we leave off something as visible and recognizable as a barcode, it may be seen as “unfinished” or inferior.

Each “version” of the book needs to have its own isbn. So paperback and hardcover would need separate isbns. If you select global distribution through KDP then your book will be distributed to B&N. Now if you used the free isbn from KDP for your paperback, that isbn is only good for that one platform, so if you decide to publish a paperback version directly on B&N you’d need a different isbn even though they’re the same “version”, because free isbns are only usable in the platform you got it from. I hope this helps.

@@KeithWheelerBooks thank you Keith. That’s so interesting that Amazon would sell on Barnes and Nobles. 3 questions: Do books sold on Barnes by Amazon lend to the books overall sales amount or rating in both Barnes and Amazon? Furthermore, Do Barnes and nobles separate ISBN hardcover versions from Amazon soft cover versions in so far as volume count towards overall sales. Do Barnes or Amazon track a particular story with the same title or is it all ISBN? And lastly, Barnes and Nobles has a policy of allowing in store availability of books, given enough online sales, and potentially speaking engagements in -store. Is the volume of books tracked to include all forms of the books together, paperback, hardcover, digital? Thank you so much.

@KeithWheelerBooks 3 года назад

Great questions! First let’s clarify that when you’re using global distribution, that includes B&N. It’s not amazon selling on B&N. Because of this distinction... Sales made through B&N are lumped in with all the other Global Distribution sales at the end of the month. Only sales made on the Amazon platform affect your books ranking.(even sales on other amazon marketplaces do not affect your ranking on Amazon in the US. They only affect the ranking on that specific countries marketplace.) Books to be carried in store, CAN take into account global sales regardless of the platform, but that is a store by store decision. Some M&N stores require you to have an agent to be considered to be carried in the store. I hope this helps.

I also draw my children's book how do I upload the drawing for each page of my childrens book.. how do I do that. Does barnes and noble illustrate the anime drawings of my books for me. Or must I do the illustration myself

@KeithWheelerBooks 3 года назад

You must do the illustrations yourself and then combine them into a final manuscript. Many illustrators either draw them freehand using an online app or they scan the images in and enhance them using online apps.

To the best of my knowledge you are able to publish to KDP in India. Though the books may not be published locally, it can still be done. I'm not sure about the Barnes and Noble availability in other countries. You should be able to go to Barnes and Noble's website and look that up.

You should not include the barcode on your cover. B&N Press will add in a barcode to your back cover, as you build your print book. If there is a barcode already on your book, you may run into errors while uploading such as your cover being rejected or the appearance of double barcodes.

@KeithWheelerBooks 4 года назад

Unfortunately, the only real way to increase the resolution is to shrink the image. You may need just stick with just an ebook and audiobook format if you’re not able to get higher resolution images. If you got the images from an illustrator, you could reach back out to them and see if they could provide higher resolution images. If you got the images from a website, I’d suggest checking to see if there is a larger version of the images available. Typically, the bigger the image, then when you shrink the image, the resolution increases.

From watching some videos from Dale, it gives the impression that Amazon might be unstable - one day everything is fine, the next your account is terminated or suspended for a ridiculous reason.

@KeithWheelerBooks 3 года назад

Yes, there’s pros and cons to all platforms. B&N Press doesn’t have much organic traffic like Amazon does. The best thing for me has been to “go wide” I publish on Amazon, Lulu or IngramSpark (for hard cover) and then I use draft2digital to publish the ebook to other platforms.
