I do not think there is a thread specifically related to short Createspace books and these 3 matters. (If there is, please ignore this thread.)
I am thinking of bringing out 2-3 Createspace books of 24-36 pages.
I realized that for the minimum 24-page paperback, you would need to price at $5.50 to get a $1.25 royalty from Amazon (I don't plan to use extended distribution until I see some results on Amazon).
Has anyone had success selling paperbacks of this size and at these prices?
Regarding covers: Which of the Createspace cover designer templates do you think are classy enough as to be acceptable to the average buyer? I am of course of the opinion that with these 3 books, the titles and the content will be the main impetus for purchase, and don't wish to spend additional money on a designer at this time. (Is there any other free cover-creation program for paperbacks that is simple and yields better designs than the CS templates?)
Thanks.
