THE NOVELLED CONCEPT
A world of eBooks at $1.50 each.
Ever dreamed of sharing your story with the world? Don't have the foggiest
idea how to get a publisher to look at your work short of locking them in the
basement and prodding them with a big stick? Ever wondered why the internet
has changed the way we think about music and video and yet has left books back in
the age of print?
Novelled is a place where anyone, anywhere can sell their novels in
eBook-compatible formats. You simply give us your work
in Microsoft Word format and we'll take care of everything else.
It really is that simple.
We offers eBooks from anyone with a story to tell, from up and coming authors
to those just writing as a labour of love, in a range of formats compatible with all major
eBook readers. All for the low price of $1.50 - less than
the cost of a Sunday newspaper, most common brands of dental floss or an
ex-rental bargain basket DVD. Why not browse some customer reviews,
read some samples and then give one of our authors a try? Not even
the best floss is going to broaden your horizons or capture your
imagination.
Make yourself heard. Non-orally.
Whether you want simply to share your work with the world or you're
looking to gather feedback and reviews to try and land a print
publishing deal, Novelled is the outlet you've been looking for.
Provided your work meets our
Submission Guidelines (this includes
a minimum standard for spelling and grammar) then the only thing stopping you reaching
your potential readers is your imagination. Possibly also an
internet connection.
Save the gambling for Vegas.
People might wonder whether its a risk purchasing eBooks from
unknown authors. The fact is, any time you buy a book from
your local bookshop, you might well end up choosing an author whose name
you don't recognise. Sure, someone at the publisher liked the
book. Big deal. At Novelled, you can read a sample from each
book and the reviews of other customers. You can view
top-rated books and authors. You can make the most informed
decision possible - and at $1.50 an eBook, broadening your horizons isn't
expensive. We can't change the odds of
roulette in your favour but we can certainly take the risk out of
eBooks.
Quit the paper round.
Every three months, we pay authors 50% of the money earned through the
sale of their books. Not so good with the maths? What this means is that
if an author's novel was purchased 100 times during those three months, Novelled will pay them $75).
Authors are paid by PayPal and we don't charge any minimum upload fees,
conversion costs or the like. It really is that simple - upload
your novels and if they're good enough, the readership is waiting to be
discovered. All we need now is the oft-used "make money
without leaving the house" tagline.
We're a little bit different.
Everyone likes to think that they're a little bit different. That they stand out from the crowd. This is what happens when parents keep telling their children they're unique and special. That aside, it's no surprise to hear that we think we're a little bit different to everyone else. Check out our reasons and the pretty pictures below and judge for yourself.
We've all seen websites selling eBooks at hugely inflated prices - often $25, the cost of a hardback release of a New York Times bestseller. It doesn't stack up. We charge a low (we say sensible) price for our novels. And if you're an author, you'll know that a lower price means greater sales.
Imagine buying an Amazon Kindle or Sony eReader only to find that their respective formats aren't supported by many sites? At Novelled all our books are sold in PDF, Mobi & ePub formats. We won't exclude or penalise you for your choice of hardware.
When you purchase from Novelled you can download in as many formats as you choose - read on both your PC and portable device. You wouldn't pay twice to play a CD in a home stereo and car stereo. Should eBooks be different?
It's obvious but without our authors then we wouldn't exist. They put the effort into their novels and we reward them fairly. We give 50% of the listing price of each and every book to its author. It's our way of saying "thanks".
The world of publishing eBooks isn't simple enough. We won't charge you fees that eat into your profit and raise book prices. No fees for converting documents. No upfront fees. There's no fees at all on Novelled. Don't settle for anything else.
We think that most people don't want DRM protection. It's an irritating feature that usually gets in the way of genuine use. Users pirate software they feel is unaffordable or overpriced. We fight piracy at its root with competitive prices ¬ technology which will inevitably be cracked. At $1.50 a novel - is piracy necessary?
Did you imagine the fruits of your labour on sale next to oversized coffee mugs, novelty mouse mats, filofaxes and custom calendars? Didn't think so. At Novelled, we focus on one thing only and that's novels.
