No up-front costs
There are no up-front costs with Pen & Publish. Your group takes advance orders and payment. You can order additional copies with your main order or at a later time. A larger initial order can mean a reduction in your per book costs, thus increasing your profit on each book sold.

Multiple avenues of revenue
In addition to direct sales, your group's book will be available for out-of-town friends and family through most chain, independent and online booksellers, including Amazon.com, Barnes & Noble and Borders.

We also encourage schools to include local sponsors in order to increase community awareness of the project and provide another source of revenue. An advertising section, special mentions, and acknowledgements highlighting local sponsors can easily be included in your book.

• Get organized
