Imprinted: The Paperback
Several people had asked about a print edition of Imprinted, the Magic ex Libris novelette coming out in January. (Conveniently available for pre-order in electronic format from Amazon, Kobo, Smashwords, and Google Play.) I know there won’t be huge demand for a higher-priced paperback of a 15,000 word story, but I figured, what the heck. So I spent the weekend working on typesetting and formatting, along with this:
It looks like the paperback will be priced around $5.99. I might be able to knock that down a little, but I’ve only got so much room for print-on-demand. (I’ll also try to get some author copies to sell at conventions, and I might be able to sell those a little more cheaply as well.)
I’m waiting for files to get approved, and I’m not sure I’ll be able to do a pre-order link for the paperback, but if so, I’ll share that link as soon as it becomes available.
Thanks to everyone who’s expressed their excitement over this story. I can’t wait for you to read it. Especially the ending 😉

I’m delighted. I always pick print over ebooks so if I bought the ebook I’d never get around to it.

I’ve already pre-ordered the ebook from Google Play, and read the sample. So I say “ACK!” Peanuts-style to having to wait another 6 weeks.
Not that I don’t have plenty to keep me busy till then…

It seems appropriate to buy Jeneta’s story in ebook format, but I’m thrilled to hear there will be a print version as well, so I can put it on the shelf next to my other Magic Ex Libris books. (My husband will also be happy, since he doesn’t read ebooks at all.)

JoelZ – I should have a few copies on hand by then, yes 🙂

I wonder if print on demand works in Canada? I know where there is a store in New York that does it.
I don’t do eBooks at all.

Having all the others in HC means Ill have to stick with the digital copy of this one.
My OCD wont be able to bear having a paperback next to the HardCovers on the shelf
