Authors Books Distribution & Visibility

As part of our value addition for the Award Program nominations, we offer ecommerce platform for nominees books. In as much as only 10 people will be listed as winners, we want to ensure every person submitting benefits from belonging in the Award Program. Giving all authors visibility is at the core of the Award Program. Here’s how…

These are the terms and conditions:
1. Your book has to be already published, in print format and submitted for ACABA in the current or previous years.

2. If you have not printed, through CLC Kenya or other printers, you can access Print On Demand (POD) services. Find out more about POD and the cost calculator here Publishing Ministry @CLC Kenya

3. You can set up at ACABA, CLC Kenya, Jumia Kenya, Nuria, African Book Hub, Writers Guild Kenya, The Carmella Bookshop at the agreed percentage off the RRP. If you have not professionally set the price for your book, reach out for our help in this.

4a. By appointing CLC Kenya to be your super host at 40% off the RRP, you get representation in all the above mentioned ecommerce platforms.
b. Why 40% to CLC Kenya? CLC Kenya extends 20-35% to other booksellers/ecommerce platforms and retains 5-20% for administrative fees.
Example: If your book is at RRP Kes 1,000 you would receive Kes 600 from CLC Kenya.

5. You can appoint ACABA through CLC Kenya to sell your rights to international publishers through Evolge and at Frankfurt Rights Fair in the USA.

6. You can set up your book for e-book distribution directly with our partners Books For My Soul or through CLC Kenya super-host. Ebooks are priced at 70% off the RRP as there is no printing cost involved.
Example: If your book is at RRP Kes 1,000 the price for an ebook would be Kes 700. However, you also compare with the cost of other ebooks selling on that platform so that your price remains competitive.

BENEFITS TO YOU, THE AUTHOR AND YOUR BOOK(S)?
1. Setting up in different ecommerce platforms gives your book visibility
2. Having a super-host helps you to focus on your vocation as we handle logistics for your book project
3. Selling alongside fellow African Christian authors contributes to building a force and movement that advocates for readership of local books as opposed to imported books.

HOW DO I KNOW KNOW HOW MY BOOKS ARE SELLING?
You will receive an author’s sales dashboard on ACABA where you can login and view the progress of your book sales.

WHEN DO I GET PAID?
The books are on consignment stock ie sale on return so you get paid once the books are sold.

If CLC Kenya is your super-host, we shall reconcile the payments from all the platforms and bookshops, receive the payments on your behalf. You can access the reports and request for withdrawals at your discretion any time in the month.

DO YOU MARKET MY BOOKS FOR ME?
Yes we continually market your book through the structured marketing strategies in place for ACABA and CLC Kenya. However, the larger burden to market the book remains with you. From our experience, the book does not work if the author does not work and readers buy the author before they buy the book.

If you are struggling with a marketing strategy and would like us to hold you accountable, please reach out and we shall work with you. Your book project’s success is the fulfillment of our mission and mandate.

I AM INTERESTED, HOW DO I PROCEED?

Kenyan Bible Stories is a book that retells popular Bible stories but set in modern Kenya. It has a tinge of humour in it and is aimed at readers of all ages. I am trusting God to turn it into a series of books with the ultimate aim of covering the Bible in its entirety. My mission is to point the reader to get more hungry and curious to read the Bible.
