I need more books.

this might sound a little wacky at first, but I think it makes for a good way to market your books. I have been wanting to have a bookstore online because i am a voracious reader interested in the topics on Gaia. I have a fledgling website from which I now sell artwork, and I want to add books, but have not the time to write. The book storefront would be at www.jilljj.com/ZenCart
in it would be your ebooks: descriptions, titles, pics, prices, etc……The site now is sad, no books, but don’t worry, I am great a web design and that will change soon as I get authors……….
Now, I worked for a while as a cost estimator at a college text book company and I know what a tiny pittance goes for author fees. Instead of 6 to 10%, what I propose here is that you get to keep is 60%. I personally have had a hard time finding a central location for books of this subject matter, which means we could have a niche!  The benefit for me would also be increased traffic to my site and hopefully you authors let me read your works while we are at it. Of course this is something to which we both need to agree, and I will have paper works to sign to get us through all the red tape.
Please email me if you’d like to jump in or have ideas.

Hi Jill,
I could very well be interested in this. Keep me posted. I have my book, In Search of Simplicity, on PDF. Is that enough?
 
Success with your venture.

I would love to add your book, and like anything else in this world we have to go through a little red tape, but not too much: please email me so I don’t miss the posts. The red tape agreement can be gotten at http://www.jilljj.com/ZenCart/author-agreement.pdf
The book storefront would be within www.jilljj.com/ZenCart
to see the bookstore I now have:  go to www.jilljj.com/ZenCart/ebooks


my main site for your perusal is at www.jilljj.com and that is from whence I sell my art, and I bet by now you are all glad I’m not a writer either because It’s really too good or really not

Jill
