katana Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 Did you ever consider self-publishing? https://www.lulu.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dddave Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 Lots of local expats write and self-publish books here but getting any kind of distribution in book stores is really difficult. A friend wrote a book 10 years ago, self-published it and with help from an already established local author, actually got it into Asia Books. They originally took 30 copies...they never re-ordered and he never actually got paid. Having the book professionally proofread, designing and printing a cover, printing the book and binding the book cost him a fair bundle. He tried selling online but little success. He still has about a dozen cartons of books sitting somewhere. He was told that books about Thailand/Bangkok/Pattaya sell well in Germany and was encouraged to have it translated and re-published but he decided it was just not worth the effort.

Why Me Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 What's the book about? Another possibility is publishing on Kindle. I believe if the book is priced low enough Amazon pays royalty around 70%. I know people who made good money with books in the $2.99 range. Sounds cheap but nobody thinks twice about clicking to buy a $2.99 book, especially if it shows up on a popular search, e..g., Healthy and Affordable Sex in Thailand, and has a few good reviews already. Sell a couple of hundred a month and there's your rent money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
