Learn About Draft2Digital Self-Publishing January 13

December 17, 2017 by John Cammidge


The next monthly BAIPA meeting, January 13, will feature Draft2Digital, a relatively recent newcomer to self-publishing that competes with Smashwords.  The presentation will be given by D2D’s Director of Marketing, Kevin Tumlinson, who joined the firm 18 months ago. An authority on indie publishing and a marketing expert, he has authored numerous books. Prior to joining D2D, Tumlinson was a writer, a blogger, and the host of Wordslinger Podcast.

Draft2Digital was established by bestselling indie author Aaron Pogue and two friends in 2012 to offer a publishing alternative to authors. Its mission is to provide authors and publishers with the tools and resources necessary for publication in a manner where they retain full rights to their books, and can publish quickly without contracts and exclusivity.  There are no upfront fees, and authors can access tools and resources free of charge — even if they choose not to distribute with D2D.

Writers can upload their manuscripts and obtain free eBook conversion, free layout for print, and a range of other professional resources.

D2D does not charge authors directly. Its business model takes 10 percent of the retail price for any books sold through its distribution network – which includes Amazon, AppleiBooks, Barnes and Noble, Kobo and more companies worldwide. Therefore, D2D only makes money when the author makes money.

For more information, come to the Kevin Tumlinson presentation and Workshop at BAIPA’s first meeting of the New Year on January 13. You may also contact the D2D Author Support Team in Oklahoma City or read about the firm at draft2digital.com.

Welcome to BAIPA

With COVID-19 teaching us all how to function remotely, BAIPA will meet via ZOOM ONLY until it is safe to resume in-person meetings. (Even when we decide to resume in-person events, we will continue the Zoom option.) We are implementing all the recommended precautionary measures to keep our meetings private and safe for all participants. All members and visitors who register in advance will receive a link to attend via Zoom video conferencing. On the Friday evening before the meeting, we will send the link and password out to members and to non-members … More

Current BAIPA members do not need to register for our monthly meetings. The night before the meetings, they will receive the Zoom info. However, members must log in to get a discounted ticket for workshops.
