author described their Kindle Direct Publishing experience like this:<\/strong> <em>\u201cIt was like cutting my own hair. I did all of the work myself so it didn&#8217;t cost me anything. Sure, my hair was shorter. But, I really didn&#8217;t like what I looked like and I got no positive compliments on how I looked&#8230;\u201d<\/em><\/p><p>Kindle Direct Publishing is truly a DIY approach to book publishing. Here\u2019s why you might consider a different route:<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-94feff3 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"94feff3\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<ol><li class=\"p1\"><h3>Human Support<\/h3><p>Publishing via Kindle Direct requires strong computer skills and offers no support from knowledgeable staff. Dorrance, on the other hand, values the personal touch in publishing. Here, you\u2019ll always have access to professional, educated staff who understand the intricacies of book publishing.<\/p><\/li><li class=\"p1\"><h3>Editing Services<\/h3><p>Kindle Direct does not provide editing services. Every book can benefit from a second set of eyes. At Dorrance, all books are meticulously edited following the Chicago Manual of Style to ensure high-quality content.<\/p><\/li><li><h3>Professional Design<\/h3><p>When was the last time you designed a book?<\/p><p>Kindle Direct\u2019s website emphasizes the importance of book design:<\/p><p><i>&#8220;Imagine you&#8217;re shopping for a book. You notice a title that looks interesting and you take it off the shelf. But then you see a grainy image on the cover. You open the book, and the font is too small and the text has formatting irregularities. Would you buy this book? Probably not.\u201d<\/i><\/p><p>Book design is crucial. It influences a reader\u2019s decision to purchase. Dorrance employs experienced page designers and cover designers to ensure a professional and visually appealing final product. Are you familiar with front matter formatting, &#8220;bleeds,&#8221; or embedding fonts? If not, our designers can help create a polished book cover and layout.<\/p><\/li><li><h3>Wider Distribution Avenues<\/h3><p>As Kindle Direct is owned by Amazon, your book\u2019s primary distribution channel is Amazon. Dorrance, however, ensures your book reaches multiple platforms, including Barnes &amp; Noble, Walmart.com, Google Books, and independent bookstores. Kindle Direct\u2019s Expanded Distribution option reduces royalties to about 8% and does not support returnable books\u2014a requirement for many brick-and-mortar stores. All Dorrance-published books are returnable, enabling them to be offered for sale in physical stores.<\/p><\/li><li><h3>Defined Book Promotion<\/h3><p>Many authors turn to Dorrance after finding that Kindle Direct lacks promotional support. Every Dorrance-published book benefits from a comprehensive promotion campaign, including press releases, Google promotion, and outreach to bookstores for author signings.<\/p><\/li><\/ol>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9dae9d2 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\"
