Imprinted: The Paperback

[jimhines]

Several people had asked about a print edition of Imprinted, the Magic ex Libris novelette coming out in January. (Conveniently available for pre-order in electronic format from Amazon, Kobo, Smashwords, and Google Play.) I know there won’t be huge demand for a higher-priced paperback of a 15,000 word story, but I figured, what the heck. So I spent the weekend working on typesetting and formatting, along with this:

It looks like the paperback will be priced around $5.99. I might be able to knock that down a little, but I’ve only got so much room for print-on-demand. (I’ll also try to get some author copies to sell at conventions, and I might be able to sell those a little more cheaply as well.)

I’m waiting for files to get approved, and I’m not sure I’ll be able to do a pre-order link for the paperback, but if so, I’ll share that link as soon as it becomes available.

Thanks to everyone who’s expressed their excitement over this story. I can’t wait for you to read it. Especially the ending

Have you checked out the paperback options through Draft2Digital? Also, recommend D2D for ebooks as opposed to Smashwords. I've been selling novellas--two of them--at $10 and $12, in trade paper.

It is easy enough to format for printing yourself at that length, especially if you have access to a printer with duplex printing capacity. I bought one of those eight years ago and it's been marvelous--I print out chapbooks at that length and can sell them for cheaper than I could get for POD.
