hello from Rachel Rosen and question

rachelrosen · 11-17-2010, 03:12 PM

Hi, I'm a new poster. I mainly write erotica although I also enjoy a living as a technical writer as well as a theatre reviewer.

I had a question about bookbaby.com, an authorized Apple aggregator. I am doing very well with Smashwords in the Apple store, but I noticed Bookbaby offers faster reporting and payments without taking a percentage (after an upfront fee).

Has anyone else had experience with them and, if so, are you happy (or not) with the results? Thank you.

Good to have your company, Rachel. What's the quality of Bookbaby's format conversions compared to Smashwords' 'meatgrinder' auto-conversion process? Cheers. Neil

Hi, thanks for the welcome, everyone!

Neilmarr, I don't know the quality of bookbaby's conversions as compared to SW or any one else's. I guess I was trying to find out if any one else did. Plus, I would love to know if any one has had any dealings with them and if so, do royalties get paid on time, is there reasonable response time from customer service, etc.
