Thank you for the pointers Meg. Much appreciated.
Thank you Meg! Great video!
Great video. I start watching this video for the content randomly after searching for createspace info, then said WAIT I KNOW HER. ❤️
LOVE THIS VIDEO!!!!!!!!!!! THANKS FOR THE INSPIRATION!
Thank you for this comparison!
Hey im glad i found your video! I am wondering what your thoughts would be on someone using Createspace for a childrens book, do you think it wouldnt look very good, colour, front cover, paper, and so on?
Hey Meg, thanks for the helpful video! If you decide to print a book locally with a company like Corporate Color, how do you distribute via Amazon when you sell online? I’m super new to this process. Thanks!
I could not pay attention....all I could do was wonder....does Meg have on fake glasses? Ok going back to watch again without looking at the glasses I promise!
🤣
thank you great video your advice really helped tapping your button
meg hi! nice video, how many pages in your book and did the printer decide what fonts to use and font pt size or did you..Im trying to publish my first book at office depot, as paper cost is around 12 cents on blk and white. also did you edit your work or how did that go..
This is a amazing video! I'm considering writing a novel!
Marketing my cookbook
Great tips Meg!

Awesome photos and cover! I'm thinking of going with Ingram Spark and Create Space for mine because of the whole Amazon and Barnes and Noble connections and what not. I write fiction novels, in which there are no photos, other than the cover. The most important thing to me, is that the words are legible and from what I've seen, Create Space and Ingram Spark do a good job.
+DWriteLambily awesome thanks!
My books are in Spanish.Do they help with the cover.
hi there , may i know the link and the name of your local printer , thank you for this video
How long does the process take after submitting your book to a book maker. How long does it take for them to ship back the final product?
i just formatted my first book the createspace kinda way, when i wanted to print i changed the page set up to bookfold and selected 4 pages per sheet. For my printer set up i selected manually print on both sides and unselected 'Print Mark up', my problem now is that the headers and footers are not aligning perfectly on the back to back print. I held my page against my lamp and the number '1' is not well aligned with '2' on the next page, its off by almost half an inch, same thing with the author name and book title. Is the away i can fix this
Thanks meg
So it's better to go to a local printer than to CreateSpace?
Hey do you have a link to the company you used ?
what is the link for the Corporate color printing? you never added it
I want to create a couple different coffee table books mainly pictures so is the quality of the printing good?
It was really nice to me!
tk you
Did you pay for the publishing with both companies? And also, being in Boston, do you know of any equivalent to Corporate Color? Thanks for doing the video!:)
call around locally, and let me know if you do.
do you have a link to Corporate Color website?

Hi how do you use RGB for print on Microsoft Office word 2007 for children picture book so the picture is better? on creatspace
+Derrick Alexander hmm don't know that one.
its okay I sorted it out now
Thanks, I am writing an art book called Paint and Be Present. I am showing my techniques for turning your favorite photos into paintings...focusing on the now, instead of the past or the future.
I have been playing with create space, so this was helpful. Thanks!! I will check out your blog. I am Jilly Willy Art on etsy. Thanks, Jilly
Amazon, acts like a publisher by having 1/3 of your book reviewed on the Look inside feature; they also will put your book on sale when they desire. many things that i hate about them. If you sold 1,000 books at the same time they charge you the same book rate. They did my color fine but I have never published with others; they do wait for 2 weeks to send you an authors copy you buy, and there are times they screwed up my books when printing.
I am in the process of writing my own book and was wondering what type of software did you use to create the book?
+Jo3l I wrote it in scrivener, then outsourced the formatting for kindle and print.
Thank You
Meg Le Vu Who did you use to outsource your formatting?
Also probably a dumb question, but with corporate printer, did you have to redo the format files or did you give them your actual book to print?
How do you distribute your book? Do you use Amazon or???
Yep amazon :) and a personal website. amazon is easier
I would've gone that route, with Amazon and Createspace, except that I could not log into my Amazon account, after my email was hacked and I could not get into my old email. Amazon, won't accept my new email. Bummer. I even have a Kindle account which I can't get into. I will find a way to get around it, though. Any other suggestions as to how to do that are also welcomed.
Valerie Guillaume How about opening a new account.
3,000 for 50 books?
that is too high, I think she only need 40 but ordered 3,000 worth.
Thanks
Um... your probably not look at this, I have a question for createspace is it free?
XpineapplecakesX X yes
3.000$ for how many books? Thanks!
I think 60 total
Peace&Groove t
Try 48 Hour Books, it’s only $500 to $900 for about 125 Books
$35 for a paperback?!? yikes!
+BoredAtWork2000 I know!
$35 is the price you sell it for or the price you paid to print it?
Dope! $17 each on Createspace? yikes..
yea it's the color printing man.
Your eyes though
I learned meditation and it kind of balanced my toxins if you get me
Honestly I don't really watch the stuff anymore...
There's no release
Do less rambling and give cost comparisons. And do it in two minutes.
