It took longer than I expected, but I can finally share that the paperback version of Tales of Lunis Aquaria is now available on Amazon and their extended distribution.
I can’t say anything about their quality since books from different regions will be printed at different facilities. I ordered a proof from Amazon DE and I haven’t received it yet. It should be here tomorrow. This is no guarantee that the books you’ll receive will be of the same quality. I’ve heard people mention a difference in colours on the covers and paper weight. There’s not much I can do about it.
The creation of a paper version of a book is a whole other process, and one I’m still figuring out. I hope that the paperback version will be available at the same time as the ebook for future books. It’s added in my publishing guide so I should at least have time calculated for it.
Where to buy
My preferred edition is available through a Dutch site (other languages of the site available) and they ship internationally. I’ve seen the copies and they’re absolutely gorgeous. Their quality control is good and probably better than Amazon’s POD. The downside is the price. Their price is higher because of the printing costs, and you have to pay more for shipping.
If you buy the Amazon version, you can download the ebook for free. I want to give people who buy the paperback from somewhere else the same option. Email me at tessa at narratess dot com or contact me on Twitter with a photo of your copy and your name written on paper and I can send you the epub, mobi, or pdf version for free.
I still have a few copies myself that I can sign and mail you. If you’re interested in a signed copy, contact me, and I’ll mail you with a price (depends on shipping).
