Why is my front cover not showing on amazon.com?

It usually takes amazon.com anywhere from 2-3 weeks to upload cover art to your book page. However, in some cases, this is overlooked by amazon.com and we have to remind them and resubmit your cover image for upload. As such, if your book's cover art is not showing up within 3 weeks of your Sign-off for print, please contact us via the chat icon below and we will resend the cover art to be uploaded to amazon.com.

What about my ownership rights in the work?

You retain full ownership and copyright. So, you can sell the same work elsewhere. Also, you can cancel your contract at anytime. Thus, if Random House or any other big house publisher wants to pick up your work, you are free to go as you please without any penalty or fee!



Can I sell my free copies to others

Absolutely! Remember, you own the copyright of your book. So, once you have your free copies, you can do whatever you like with them. Give them to your family and friends and yes even sell them to your readers, while you keep all the money! Wasteland Press will even provide a website for you to sell your books, including Java scripting and credit card services for a nominal fee (depending on the size and scope of the website).



I want to make corrections to my book. Can I do that?

Yes. No matter how much your book has been edited, no book is perfect. At Wasteland Press, we recognize the need for the author to make corrections to their book. As such, after you sign off on your book for publication, we offer the opportunity to make corrections to your book for a nominal fee ($75.00). Please remember that these fees are at cost and only associated with pulling your book from distribution and implementing the corrections to your liking. There are no additional fees in lieu of these corrections. Click here to start the process of making corrections to your book. Please note: once you sign off for publication, any copies printed before these corrections will not be replaced and you will have to purchase additional copies to attain the new, revised version of your book.



Who determines the price of my book?

Pricing is determined by the author with the assistance of Wasteland Press. In other words, we give you a price range for your book and you choose the price within this range. Thus, let's say your book is 100 pages. We will give you the retail price range of $5.95 to $15.95. You, the author, will need to consider a retail price taking into consideration the following two factors: 1) Royalties: The higher the price of your book, the more royalty you will receive when we sell your book out in the marketplace. 2) Competition: What is the price for similar books in your book's genre? If you charge too much for your book, will the retail price encourage a perspective buyer to look elsewhere?



How can I promote my book?

The best promoter of your book is, in fact, yourself. Only you, the author, truly knows the passion and insight of your book. You are the only one who knows how many countless hours you have pored into your book and how much it means to you personally, as well as what you believe others will feel about it too. So, in order to serve you better, we have set up a page to give you helpful hints on how to promote your book. Just click here.



How much will it cost to reorder my book after I have sold my free copies?

The price of reordering your books is obviously dependent upon how many you order, just like the difference between ordering the Platinum Plan versus the Gold Plan. However, your book order will always be at least 50% off the retail price (or lower) guaranteed! So, there is no hidden extra cost when you reorder. We want to empower you to make money selling your books, because the more successful you are, the more successful we are! Please note: these discounts can only be offered for our non-color, conventional paperback copies sold within the United States. Color books and books sold outside of the United States can not be offered this same discount because of the high cost of production of these books.
