@iPad_storytime: We're talking about bridging the digital divide with 'print-on-demand' after creating a storybook app ... cool idea! #storyappchat

@brooks_jones: POD [Print On Demand] is definitely the way to go, since the traditional print market is drying up. #storyappchat

@MissMelodyKitty: NEW app from Spirit-led Designs - Lily's Picturebook: http://t.co/lyy47YAi via @youtube #storyappchat #CVI #ASL #visuallyimpaired #deaf
@brooks_jones: Plus, by using POD to print your already existing app story idea, you maintain copyright and control. #storyappchat

@iPad_storytime: @brooks_jones Have you considered published "I don't like pink" in print? Such a great story! #storyappchat
April 2, 2012, 1:09 am
@brooks_jones: Printing more than one copy at a time on an offset press is tricky, since there's no guarantee you'll sell all copies... #storyappchat
April 2, 2012, 1:10 am
@DeclicKids: #storyappchat do you have sample pages showing both digital and POD stories ? Think I haven't seen anything like that here in France
April 2, 2012, 1:10 am
@brooks_jones: ...but you still have to pay for what you have printed. Now that prices have dropped for POD, it's a much better option #storyappchat
April 2, 2012, 1:10 am
@JumbleBugs: Definitely a topic i'm interested in since I'd love to see the story in book form (and my nieces don't have ipads). #storyappchat

@iPad_storytime: @ruBORED Yes, but after the fact of pub in digital as storybook app - in reverse I guess or a 'proof of concept' for print #storyappchat
April 2, 2012, 1:11 am
@brooks_jones: @iPad_storytime Thanks for those kind words! I have not as of yet, mostly 'cause I don't have the time to devote to marketing! #storyappchat
April 2, 2012, 1:11 am
@MissMelodyKitty: @ruBORED #storyappchat Thank you again for the nice article about my new app http://t.co/W3IFdXLA
April 2, 2012, 1:12 am
@brooks_jones: If you do decide to go the hard copy route [even POD], you'll want to make sure you have hi-res versions of all your art. #storyappchat
April 2, 2012, 1:12 am
@iPad_storytime: @DeclicKids Do you mean sample pages online to show the print vs. digital versions ... not sure how that would work ... #storyappchat
April 2, 2012, 1:14 am
@DeclicKids: @iPad_storytime #storyappchat no example pages where both are marketing #excusemyfrench ;-)
April 2, 2012, 1:15 am
@iPad_storytime: @JumbleBugs I think this is a big part of the POD appeal, not everyone has a device so print has dif audience than digital #storyappchat

@iPad_storytime: @DeclicKids Interesting, I think an author website could market multiple formats, from dif digital platforms 2 print possibly? #storyappchat
April 2, 2012, 1:17 am
@JumbleBugs: @iPad_storytime Definitely. Plus even though the app is exciting, it'd be nice to see our story in an "oldfashioned" book! #storyappchat

@brooks_jones: @ruBORED Yes, they do--and it's near to impossible these days to get a book deal w/a traditional publisher. #storyappchat
April 2, 2012, 1:18 am
@brooks_jones: Also: make sure what your goals are when deciding to go print. Identify your audience and distribution method. #storyappchat

April 2, 2012, 1:18 am
@JumbleBugs: @brooks_jones ...we took matters into our own hands and started on the app. #storyappchat
April 2, 2012, 1:19 am
@brooks_jones: @JumbleBugs That's why I recommend POD, if you already have a website or other storefront option. #storyappchat
April 2, 2012, 1:19 am
@brooks_jones: @JumbleBugs Good for you! That's pretty much what I did too. #storyappchat

@iPad_storytime: Great example of this with @MelissaNorthway's "Penelope the Purple Pirate" storybook - http://t.co/1MYYCy1X #storyappchat
April 2, 2012, 1:24 am
@iPad_storytime: @brooks_jones Exactly, pubs value author's ability 2 draw readers,many selfpub 1st to show they can partner
@brooks_jones: I know that Blurb is another POD service http://t.co/7ggRedTI You can also use CafePress for this http://t.co/giPIHNSQ #storyappchat

@JumbleBugs: anybody have any do's / don'ts from doing POD? #storyappchat
April 2, 2012, 1:42 am
@iPad_storytime: I'm curious about a print vs. digital issue - Do you trust digital books based on print-first titles more (as a reader)? #storyappchat
April 2, 2012, 1:42 am
@iPad_storytime: @brooks_jones He does love it ... it was the first time he realized 'mommy' was once a little girl - who didn't like pink, btw #storyappchat

April 2, 2012, 1:44 am
@iPad_storytime: @JumbleBugs From observing others, I would say a 'do' is 2 assume print will take as much marketing (if not more) than digital #storyappchat
April 2, 2012, 1:44 am
@JumbleBugs: How about pricing - do people take notice if it's a POD book and expect it to be less? #storyappchat
April 2, 2012, 1:46 am
@JumbleBugs: @iPad_storytime Great point re: marketing. I think we'd push the app however have the print as an option on the site too... #storyappchat
April 2, 2012, 1:46 am
@JumbleBugs: ...for folks who are interested and would prefer the book. #storyappchat
April 2, 2012, 1:47 am
@brooks_jones: @JumbleBugs I think the POD quality is almost as good as offset now, so most folks won't notice the difference #storyappchat
April 2, 2012, 1:47 am
@brooks_jones: If I ever do print versions of my books, they will be as add-ons to my digital offerings, not the main focus #storyappchat

@iPad_storytime: @brooks_jones DVR MadMen people! ;-) Seriously though, it's fascinating to see print as 'add-on' to digital pubs ... wild idea #storyappchat
April 2, 2012, 1:53 am
@JumbleBugs: @iPad_storytime i meant in comparison to other print books, a POD copy will have to be more than the app. #storyappchat
April 2, 2012, 1:53 am
@JumbleBugs: @brooks_jones probably true. in football season I probably will miss a few chats too. #storyappchat

@brooks_jones: I set MY DVR for #MadMen! I think I don't have the energy to stay up tonite! :) #storyappchat
April 2, 2012, 1:54 am
@brooks_jones: I would think a POD book would/should cost about the same as a book printed on the offset press. #storyappchat
@JumbleBugs: @brooks_jones better get off twitter right after this then, the spoilers will be rolling in... #storyappchat
April 2, 2012, 1:55 am
@TracyB04: kids still like print, too and think it's cool to have both @iPad_storytime @brooks_jones print as 'add-on' to digital pubs #storyappchat
April 2, 2012, 1:56 am
@iPad_storytime: @JumbleBugs I think most readers get that a print copy of a favorite app should cost more, but is more 'tangible' b/c ... #storyappchat
April 2, 2012, 1:56 am
@brooks_jones: But: price it based on YOUR costs. What is the POD service charging you for a single copy? Mark up from there. #storyappchat
April 2, 2012, 1:56 am
@JulieFHedlund: Interesting to see people going to print from digital. Is that all POD or have some gone with pub. house? #storyappchat
April 2, 2012, 1:56 am
@ruBORED: @brooks_jones #storyappchat I did not like the price POD was wanting to charge for my chapter book. I think their prices are too high.

April 2, 2012, 1:57 am
@iPad_storytime: @JulieFHedlund Some have gotten trad pub deals after successful storyapps - can assure pub that risk is worth it ... #storyappchat
April 2, 2012, 1:58 am
@ruBORED: @brooks_jones #storyappchat I did a lot of research. Bought a book on the subject and compared diff POD
@JulieFHedlund: Off topic, but I'm writing a couple of articles on how writers, illustrators can get into app market... 1 of 2.. #storyappchat

April 2, 2012, 2:00 am
@iPad_storytime: @ruBORED Seems like some print costs would be fixed somewhat, but distribution would be real tricky issue ... #storyappchat
April 2, 2012, 2:01 am
@brooks_jones: @ruBORED Aha. So you've definitely checked it out. Was there a lot of variance between services? #storyappchat
April 2, 2012, 2:01 am
