Dear Author,

Congratulations on all your hard work. So, now that you’ve completed your book or are close to it, you’ll need to get your book printed. Imagine walking into a bookstore and the feeling of seeing your very own book in print and on bookstore shelves. Imagine the excitement you’ll get when family and friends tell you that they saw your book in the shops! All you need to do is find a printer and get it printed. But here’s the rub… get the wrong printer and you’ll be in for a world of problems trying to get your book printed successfully. In theory, you should just hand over your Microsoft Word document, pay your money, and voila! You get your books printed. Well, unfortunately, that’s how it should work but usually doesn’t. Here’s the undeniable truth...

It’s shocking but true! Every day, writers hire printers to publish their books that they should not be hiring. The problems can easily be prevented if you simply choose the right book printer. This site will give you the inside-scoop on the biggest blunders many writers make when getting their book printed. After reading it, you’ll be armed with the knowledge you need so you don’t suffer the book printing pitfalls that many others have. In just a minute, we’re going to reveal what the 7 Biggest Mistakes are and how you can avoid them, but first let us answer a couple of questions that are probably on your mind:

Who Are You And Why Are You Revealing This Information?

We are BookPal, Australia’s leading self-publisher and print on demand book distributor. We’ve helped thousands of authors just like you put their dreams into print. We’d like to help you too! We’re revealing this important information to you for two main reasons:

REASON #1: If you end up hiring the wrong book printing company, this closes the field not only to us but other competent professionals as well. Odds are, if the book printer you hire stinks, you’ll be very reluctant to hire another book printer in the future.

REASON #2: WE HATE to see bad printing companies rip people off and make our whole industry look bad. It puts a black eye on our profession.

Okay, now that you know who we are and why we’re doing this, let’s talk about the 7 Biggest Mistakes Writers Make When Printing Their Book... And How You Can Avoid Them! So here are the 7 book printing issues you WILL absolutely need to be aware of if you want to get your book printed successfully.

BIG MISTAKE #1
Not Having Your Book Typeset Professionally

This includes:

• Text Styles
• Title Page and Figures
• Spacing, Layout and Alignment
• Table of Contents
• Lists, Bullets and Numbering Styles
• Headers, Footers and Margins
  

Most book printers will just print what you give them, mistakes and all.

It’s absolutely critical that you hire someone who specializes in typography to properly set your book… otherwise your book will look amateurish.

BIG MISTAKE #2
Not Copyrighting Your Book

Protect your book before it's too late! Copyright protection for your written work is one of the smartest decisions you’ll make.

Copyrighting provides you with long-term legal rights and options to protect your writing from plagiaristic thieves.

Make sure your copyright protection is done properly… otherwise people could steal your work and profit from it.

BIG MISTAKE #3
Not Registering Your Bar-coding and ISBN Correctly

Is your bar coding and ISBN registered properly?

What if you skip doing this?  Well, if you negotiate a distribution deal with a publisher or bookstore, then all the books you’ve printed are useless, because they will not work with  bookstores’ computer systems.

In fact many people are in this situation… stuck with boxes of books in their garage because no bookstore system will be able to accept them. 

And guess what… to correct this they have to be printed all over again… uggh!

BIG MISTAKE #4
Failing To Submit Your Book To Relevant Authorities

Do you know it’s a legal requirement to submit your published book to relevant authorities?

If you get fined for this your book will not be published properly.

BIG MISTAKE #5:
Not Having Your Book Properly Formatted For Bookstores

Go ahead and get your quotes from 7 different printers, but for goodness sakes, don’t go and choose the cheapest one that comes along. You’ll only run into problems.

For instance, many book printers do not cello-glaze their book covers like BookPal does… with others, you’ll end up getting C-grade books more suitable to be doorstoppers than best sellers.

Truth is we could write a whole page about book printing quality issues, but that’s for another time. Just make sure you find a book printing specialist, rather than a general printer.

BIG MISTAKE #6
Why Most Writers End Up With A Garage Full Of Books

All authors start with big dreams. Unfortunately many end up with a stack of unsold books in the garage.

That’s why you need to consider Print on Demand before splurging your hard earned money on printing boxes of books.

Print on Demand is simple: you can print as little as a single book, when you get an order from a customer. Yes there is a set up cost, but it certainly costs a whole lot less than printing thousands of books and hope it sells.

Absolutely no book wastage or storage required.

BIG MISTAKE #7
Marketing Your Book The Wrong Way

Here’s one other thing you need to consider…once you’ve printed your books, how do you get them sold?

Every author wants a fair shake getting their book into bookstores. There are two ways you can do it… the hard way and the easy way.

Here’s the hard way:

• You can approach local bookstores individually. Don’t bother with the big name bookstores… they won’t bother with you. This requires a lot time and effort for you.

Or you can simply do this:

• Get your book into the BookPal GBIS system. With our exclusive system, your book will be available for ordering at 27,000 bookstores around the world… Including all the big name stores in Australia, US, Canada and UK (and soon New Zealand, Singapore and Malaysia).
  
  

Your book will also be listed in thousands of internet bookstores around the world, including Amazon.com, BarnesandNoble.com and many others.  

If you’re shopping around for book printers, remember to ask them what book marketing/distribution they can offer you. 

Well, there you have it. We hope we’ve shed some light for you on the world of book printing.

Obviously, if you’re a published author you may have already known some of the secrets revealed on this site.

But we hope you found a few gems that you can use to ensure that your next book printing turns out exactly as you want it so you get the proper printing that you so richly deserve.
