Have you ever wondered how your book goes from words on a screen to a physical book in your hands?
That’s what we’re discussing in today’s episode of The Rebel Maker! I’ve got Shannon Bigham as my guest today and she is an expert on all things printing. She has spent the better part of her career in corporate printing, working as an account manager on large accounts producing New York Times best-selling titles, and she’s worked with self-publishers which is how we met.
We discuss trade books, printing quantities, the impact of Amazon on the printing industry, and more!
In this episode:
- [04:22] Shannon’s family's printing history and how she never expected to work in the industry
- [07:49] What makes a trade book and the unpredictable nature of book popularity
- [14:09] Printing quantities for authors and the process of reprints
- [19:50] The impact of Amazon on the printing industry
- [25:13] The impact the changing paper industry has had on printing and the pros and cons of different types of paper
- [35:23] Book printing essentials for new authors
- [39:44] Printing costs
- [44:30] The challenges of traditional publishing, self-promoting your books, and bestseller lists
- [53:15] The importance of high-quality art in a book
Noteworthy quote from this episode:
“I think that's one of the wonderful aspects of Amazon, and really of social media, it has allowed people to self-promote and boost themselves and create their own audience.”
