Two Indie Author Choices: Amazon and Barnes & Noble

Thursday, February 28, 2019 by Sabrina Ricci

Although Amazon works with a wide variety of industries now, it originated in books. And it still dominates the book industry. The Wall Street Journal recently wrote about how Amazon "commands an unrivaled customer base for the books, e-books and audiobooks it publishes." Part of what helped Amazon with ebooks is KDP, the platform where indie authors can upload and sell … [Read more...] about Two Indie Author Choices: Amazon and Barnes & Noble

Comparing the Ebook Submission Process: Self-Publishers v. Publishers

Thursday, September 4, 2014 by Sabrina Ricci

I recently wrapped up a freelance project with a small publisher, where I uploaded/submitted ebook files and metadata to Amazon, Apple, Barnes & Noble, Kobo, and Google. In the process, I thought about the similarities and differences between how a self-publisher would go about distributing an ebook versus a publishing company that is submitting files themselves instead of … [Read more...] about Comparing the Ebook Submission Process: Self-Publishers v.

Tuesday, July 23, 2013 by Sabrina Ricci

In our digital world, data is becoming increasingly important, both for creating content and finding content. Major companies use algorithms for these purposes. However, this strategy is not new.  For books, data has always played a role in marketing. Best seller lists are compilations of data, created based on algorithms, and some people have been taking advantage of this … [Read more...] about Marketing with Metadata and Algorithms

Barnes & Noble

Wednesday, December 15, 2010 by Sabrina Ricci

Rumor has it that Barnes & Noble may no longer exist one year from now. In the meantime, I can enjoy their stores and Christmas decorations. And I can also play around with their Nook. The new color Nook was recently released. It uses LED like Apple's iPad, but it's formatted similarly to Amazon's Kindle--with a twist. There's an interesting feature that shows book … [Read more...] about Barnes & Noble

11/22/10: This Week in the Publishing World

Wednesday, November 24, 2010 by Sabrina Ricci

  Since it's Thanksgiving in a couple days, thought I'd post the publishing news early this week. I don't know if it's because I'm taking a Writing for Children's class, but I keep noticing the topic of children's books in my classes. Anyway, today the  Association of Booksellers for Children approved a merger with the American Booksellers Association.
