3. PRINTING & PRICING
You're book is just about ready to be presented to the world. This is the time to begin thinking about what you are going to charge for your book, both the paperback version and Kindle version.
PRINTING
I will not know how much your printing costs will be until after the book has been uploaded and accepted by Createspace (or other printing company you are using), but it will fall between $2.50-$4.00 (books of 200 and less pages. The lower the number of pages your book has the less it will cost you in printing).
PAPERBACK PRICING
You are welcome to charge whatever you like for your paperback book. A suggestion is to go to Amazon and look at books in your genre to determine what the average price is for abook like yours. Consider what you would be willing to pay for a book of your size. On a personal level, I don't go over $10 for books 100 pages or less. I have charged $15 for a bookover 150 pages, and even $19.99 for a workbook. It all depends on you.
KINDLE
Kindle takes a percentage of 30% of whatever you charge for your book.
In thinking about the pricing for your book, consider what you would be willing to pay for a book of your size and content. On a personal level, the sweet spot for Kindle has fallen between $1.99 and $4.99. I have personally found that when I price my book at either $2.99, but no higher than $4.99 I make the most sales
