Welcome to Snowfall Press. Thank you for taking the time to look at our site. Whether you are a writer of international renown or just completing your first book, there are more options now than ever before in bringing your book to market. The most well known is the traditional route through an established publisher. And while extraordinary competition in the marketplace is causing many publishers to focus their new title acquisitions on their top, proven revenue generating writers, if you can get a contract for a book much of the “go-to-market” work will be done by them. Of course, the trade off is your income from that book is greatly reduced by numerous entities in the supply chain – the publisher themselves, distributors, and the retail book store. The result is your royalty seems very small compared to the selling price of the book. There has always been a “vanity press” route to market. Authors would pay a printer to print their books. Thousands of books would be printed in order to get a decent price per book and it would be up to the author to find a way to sell these books – many times this meant from the trunk of their car. And then there is micro-publishing. Yes, it sounds a lot like a vanity press but here is the difference…you become the publisher and not a print company customer. As a micro-publisher you work out the design of your book and its cover. You also work on your marketing strategy as well. But the upside is that you get to keep 100% of the gross margin for each book – and that can be significant. And if you are not an expert in some or all of those roles of a traditional publisher, it is easy to find people to help you. For example, Snowfall Press has a team of experts to help and guide a writer in getting their book edited, designed and even uploaded into the Snowfall server. For a list of those experts, click here. For the author who has written for years and has a few books already published, this new model is perfect for you. No doubt you would like to keep your current relationships with publishers for your new books, but what about your older, out-of-print books? You have the name, you have the following, and you probably even have your own website. Why not sell your older work with the help of Snowfall Press? There are technologies available to link your website shopping cart to Snowfall’s server. So when someone purchases a book on your site, the Snowfall server prints your book and then delivers it directly to your customer. You do not have to worry about purchasing inventory in advance and you definitely do not have to make mailing runs to the post office.
