So the
fantasy of lavish, sit down meals that I spend hours preparing, sitting down in our
nice clothes, and having long chats over wine about everything we love about the holiday season — well, at this
point is more
fantasy than reality.
So keep that in mind when considering your book's production and price
point; you want the book to look
nice and fit in someone's purse / bag / backpack (and 6 × 9 is a little hefty for fiction books), but you also don't want your epic
fantasy at 200 - thousand words to cost $ 20 to print at cost (the flat fee you pay simply for the materials, without the distributor's or your profits factored in yet).
