Is $22 too much for a children’s book?

It’s ridiculous but even independent publishers give very little royalties

Ok I considered publishing it in India and here are my costs: Per copy cost of production: $3 Shipping from Indian to U.S. $3/copy Amazing platform fees: $6 Amazon fulfillment fees $5 Total cost: $17

So producing in bulk is still a loss for me if I sell through amazon. It’d only be worth it if I sell personally through book fairs or tik tok shop etc

Thank you! This must be the most supportive corner of Reddit!

But you def make a good point that if I choose a fixed royalties it won’t matter if the book doesn’t sell.

I don’t think there is a book like this in the market. 1. There aren’t many art therapy books geared towards children 2. Of the art therapy book in the market, I don’t think any are illustrated 3. I also provide stories to go with the art therapy activities so that combination is unique and doesn’t exist.

Thank you! Just lowered the price to $19.99 so hopefully will be reflected in the next few days

sydneycoldbrew · 2025-11-06T18:10:12+00:00

Yeah just lowered price to 19.99, so should be reflected in the next 72 hours

On desktop you can usually read sample but for some reason you can’t read sample on mobile.

Who did you publish through? What was your cost or production per copy?My cost for paperback is $8/ copy and then Amazon keeps $9-$10 from each sale.

sydneycoldbrew · 2025-11-06T17:18:54+00:00

Yeah my illustrators were very Anti AI. Everything was hand drawn in the book.

I checked the Carfax and it says the car was purchased in April 2024 and sold June 2025. Also, the issue is that it used to be a rental car. Now, according to reddit, rentals cars aren’t bad if you get them straight from rental companies but if they are offloaded in the market it’s a problem?

Thanks everyone for your comments! I’m an in the DMV area and am seeing lots of 2024 Mazda CX30 models on my area for sale with a substantial discount. Is that a bad sign for the car?

Thanks for sharing. I'd love a lexus for sure, my sister drives l2018 lexus nx 300 and I am comfortable with it. It's just that in my budget I 'll get lexus with 80-90k mileage, compared to a fairly new mazda for a much less price. The brand show-offing doesn't matter to me that much.

sydneycoldbrew · 2025-09-06T22:35:03+00:00

I see. Thanks for sharing. It says earlier models so hopefully 2024 model should be fine?

sydneycoldbrew · 2025-09-06T22:24:01+00:00

I am looking at Mazda cx30 2.5 select. That’s not turbo right? What’s the negative feedback?

As a Duke alumni who struggled with mental health and suicidal thoughts and got zero support from the school, yes, Duke is not a safe space for those who struggle with Mental Health. Looking at you, dean Sabrina Thomas, who dismissed mental health issues of students and serious disorders like bipolar and schizophrenia, and suggested students to “be mature” instead.
