In this episode, I discuss the process of using the Createspace service to make your paperback book available on Amazon.
I take you through the options to create a PDF file via Microsoft Word (but also mention Adobe’s In-Design and OpenOffice) and how to calculate spine width for covers and options for uploading and proofing your paperback book.
I also mention why I don’t suggest using Createspace’s extended distribution because of the economics of paperback book production, once you work out that “Your Share” is considerably less than the 60% you might believe you should receive. (link to the full details of Createspace’s royalties)
