2016. BookBaby launched e-Book editing service



BookBaby has recently introduced a new editing service specifically designed for self-published authors. With this service, they offer copy editing for a 60,000-word eBook at a price below $1,200, which is a remarkable 50% lower compared to other premium options available in the market. For debut or first-time authors, finding a reliable e-book editor can be a challenging task. Many individuals often resort to searching online for affordable options, but may end up encountering companies like Author Solutions, who employ aggressive up-selling tactics. According to BookBaby President Steven Spatz, "Editing is an essential requirement for every book, and we understand this reality. Our aim was to deliver a cost-effective solution that meets the needs of self-publishing authors, without compromising on the quality they expect and deserve."


2014. BookBaby allows authors to sell books directly to users



BookBaby, a self-publishing provider, is introducing a new service called BookShop, enabling authors to sell their eBooks directly to readers through their own customized BookShop e-commerce pages. This initiative offers authors the opportunity to earn a higher percentage per sale and receive faster payment compared to other platforms. BookBaby authors can sell both ePub and .mobi versions of their eBooks directly to readers, earning 85% of the gross selling price. Additionally, authors can provide links to their eBooks on popular retail sites like iBooks, Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and more. Unlike other distributors and retailers, BookBaby ensures prompt payment to authors within one week of each sale, eliminating lengthy waiting periods for their earnings. BookShop is available free of charge to all BookBaby authors, including those taking advantage of the company's new FREE eBook publishing package. Authors can easily upload ePub files directly to BookBaby for global distribution without any upfront costs.

I wish they'd have a way for the author to offer free shipping. I have learned the slightly-excessive shipping and handling charges they apply to each sale has been a deterrent to sales, but the only thing one can do currently is to offer a discount coupon that backs out the amount in the checkout page. Not in the least bit ideal.
