At some point, you will have to pay for the printing of your books. Never print the books until you have orders from book buyers, corporate and individual, to warrant the print run.

Amazon.com allows authors to list books on their site for sale, before the book is printed. Become a vendor through Amazon Advantage here. The lead time is up to you, but 90 days out from your anticipated launch date (the book is finally ready to print) is not too long.

We recommend you finish your book, put it on Google Books at 100% access, and then link to the Amazon.com sales page for your book. Amazon.com will accept any orders, await your shipment, and charge the customer only after Amazon.com ships the book.

Our preferred provider for printing is Bestywell, and our contact there is Mei Chen, if you wish to contact Bestywell directly.
