Publish Your personal EBook (And Profit!) With Barnes and Noble’s PubIt! [Ebooks]

Barnes & Noble just launched PubIt!, a new platform that lets individuals upload their opuses, sell them as real, honest-to-goodness ebooks in B&N’s eBookstore, and keep an honest chunk of the profit.

Hopefully you’ve got the Microsoft Word document that sci-fi epic you wrote kicking around on a burned CD somewhere, because PubIt! couldn’t make it simpler to get your work to the Nook-wielding masses.

First, you upload your file. It’s in TXT, RTF, HTML, or Microsoft Word. Basically, in case you banged it out on a typewriter, you’re out of luck, but if it’s digital, PubIt! will take it, despite file size, and turn it into a pleasing clean ePub file. Within 72 hours, your ebook will occur in Barnes and Noble’s eBookstore. It’ll be viewable on Nooks, natch, in addition as the Nook apps for iOS, Android, PCs, Macs etc.

You can sell your book for any price ranging from $1 to $200. a value lower than $10 nets you 65% per sale, while anything above $10 gets 40%. B&N says that they won’t sneak up on you with any hidden fees anywhere along the line, which, which include its simplicity, is presumably what makes PubIt! competitive with Amazon’s 70/30 publishing program. Now go get writing. [ PubIt! via Fast Company ]
