Home/Publishing/Barnes & Noble Press
Barnes and Noble Press can sell a Nook ebook and a print book on BN.com. It does not automatically put the book on a shelf in a Barnes and Noble store. We will set the listing up properly, and we will not describe that as placement.
What the account does
The Nook ebook is an EPUB with a cover and a preview. A file that only ever looked right in the Kindle previewer can still fail here: a contents list, a font, a page break. We open the Nook preview. Print through Press uses their template and your ISBN or one they can assign. A free KDP ISBN cannot be reused for this edition.
If the same paperback is already on Ingram with your ISBN, you do not need a second conflicting print edition just to appear on the Barnes and Noble website. Ingram already feeds that catalog. We will say when Press print is useful and when it would create two records for one book.
Order of the work
What we will say plainly
A Barnes and Noble store can order through Ingram if you set that up. Press itself is not a pitch meeting.
What we upload
A Kindle KPF is not a Nook file. We do not upload it to watch it fail.
Decisions
The usual add when the paperback already lives on KDP or Ingram. One new ebook file, no second paperback.
Right if you are not using Ingram and you want BN.com to print its own copy. Use an ISBN that is not already tied to a different paperback edition.
If the goal is store ordering, Ingram is the tool. Press is the wrong promise. We will say that on the call rather than open an account you do not need.
House rule
A retailer account is not a relationship with the store buyers.
Before the account
Not from Press alone. Stores order through a wholesaler when a buyer wants the book. We can make it orderable through Ingram. We cannot make them want it.
Yes, if you own it and the edition is the same. That is the point of owning it.
You do. Royalty settings point at your bank.
If Nook is on the list
We will open Press for the ebook, the print, or neither. Call (833) 688-4166 or write [email protected].
The shelf
Our team has helped write, publish and market thousands of books over the past decade. Our books are well-written and finished to perfection. Have a look at some of our ghostwriters’ best works and clients’ bestsellers.
Geeks Ghostwriting’s helped me from idea refinement to publishing. I wanted a script on thriller-romance that had multiple twists and turns. I am directing a movie on the story now and our crew has fallen in love with the story!
Having a drama ghostwritten led me to gain the recognition I was seeking. I had an incomplete manuscript and Geeks Ghostwriting helped me complete it. I marketed it and it sold better than I had expected.
I thought that an illustrative self-help book was not possible! As an established designer, I have always wanted struggling designers and students to learn from my mistakes and achievements. The journey that I thought would be arduous turned out to be enjoyable and simple enough. Thank you, Geeks Ghostwriting!
