Eat Vegans Budget and Publishing Plans

Eat Vegans Budget and publishing procedures

1) Choose best publishing company for needs
2) www.createspace.com, www.lulu.com

Createspace.com is a good alternative to publishing by unit. Createspace.com is a partner of Amazon.com. They publish books based off of royalties rather then charging per unit published. Createspace.com sells from two outlets. First, from their own online store, second from Amazon. The percentage of royalties is based on which outlet the book is sold from. The price breakdown is as follows:
Outlet Royalty Percentage
CreateSpace eStore 20% of list price
Amazon.com 40% of list price

There is also a standard charge applied of $6.65 per book. It is possible by paying an initial membership fee of $39.00 to join the pro plan that cuts this standard charge to $3.65 per book. An example of how this breaks down is as follows.

eStore Sale Amazon.com Sale
List Price
set by you $16.00 $16.00
- Our Share $7.70 $10.90

Your Royalty $8.30 $5.10


If we choose to publish by unit, lulu.com is a great online publishing source for publishing in this manner. The price breakdown is as follows. This might be more useful when making a book with a lot of content where a high price can be established to cut a decent profit.
Quantity Price per unit Total
1 $10.50 $10.50
50 $8.59 $429.50
100 $8.19 $819.00
250 $7.49 $1,872.50
500 $6.79 $3,395.00
1000 $6.69 $6,690.00
5000 $6.69 $33,450.00
Lulu.com online publishing Costs per Unit



3) After establishing which company best suites the need of the project, the next step is to create an account with the publisher. For most companies, they will offer optional services for a set price. For example, if you pay the $39.00 to Createspace.com, you receive pricing discounts. Lulu.com offers marketing packages ranging from $200-$1,000 that offer mass distribution and advertising. It is possible to create an account for free, but these services are definitely good to consider.

Allot of stressing.
I designed a food pyramid and body type comparison chart illustrations for the book. I looked for a few recipes to modify for vegan meat.
I began tooling the layout of the book, drawing page borders and cover art. I did not copy all of my files to my thumb-drive before going to sleep last night, but I did get a few in my file, so i have some to show today. The rest needs to be implimented to the websites. I have the weekend off work to do more artwork. And if leslie doesnt show up, I'll not likely be able to pick up the slack on my own. That is all.

What I did- Also alot of stressing...
I was able to create a good basic budget and an outline for the procedures we must follow to publish the book. I have loaded it into the doc. sharing of gmail and I will upload it to the blog today in class. I also started a professional personal myspace account. I have also started wrtiting the beginning of the book, but I left my files for it at home. By the end of this weekend I expect to have more then just the intro completed and ready for import. Hopefully I will be able to start on anything else we need completed by Sunday.

Leslie

1. I continued gathering more recipes to be used within the book.

2. I came up with a few business card designs.

3. Minor updates to the MySpace and Blog, though the design still needs to be pulled together.

I could not get a photobucket account working.  I dont know why.  I tried several different names/password configs, and it always tells me "you are not eligable for registration".  I have no idea what the problem is.  

I've had NO time this week to make artwork. Work has taken much of my time this past week, and with so many projects going on it's prooving impossible to manage the little time I have effectivly.  I will be busting ass on it this week, as I requested more days off work to catch up on school,

I started writing the intro and chapter layout.  Here's what I got so far.

   There was a time in our not so recent past when our ancestors rose up and fought their carnivorous  oppressors. From that day on, humans began their long climb up the food chain.  From the trees we descended, unto the earth.  Across vast expanses of grasslands and desert, we trudged.  Learning the ways of weapon craft and hunting techniques until one day humans became the supreme creature, able to take down the most powerful and immense of beasts.   First rate consumers have always worked hard to digest and process nutrition, from inferior sources like grasses and gains.  Predators have always exploited this by consuming the consumers.  You are what you eat.  We want you to know that chicken and beef are not the only way to get quality nutrition and still get adequate amounts of youth preserving protein.  There is a superior alternative to factory farmed steroid pumped cows and pultry. Animals eat what they are fed, and often they become laden with toxic fillers and chemicals.   The answer to quality, nutritious and flavorful flesh is in a vegan diet.  That is, a diet consisting of vegan meat. 

    In this book we will explore many savory and delicious ways to prepare vegan meat, as well as how to obtain and maintain your supply of fresh vegan livestock.  What to feed them and when, and what flavors can be accentuated with different techniques.  

 

 

Chapter 1:  How to obtain and maintain your vegan livestock

Chapter2:  How to cure prepare your vegan meat for cold storage or fresh use

Chapter 3: What parts go where, the best pieces to use for the dish

Chapter 4: A collection of various time tested delicious vegan recipes

Chapter 5:  Living as a vegan eater, do’s and dont’s
