Help Ray purchase ISBNs
Created by Ray
I am a new author, finally realizing a lifelong dream of having a book published for others to read and enjoy. I will soon release my first book, but I have to use a free Amazon ISBN for the print book. I'd like to purchase a set of ISBNs to have my books registered to my name, not Amazon or another printing company.
The only authorized seller for ISBNs in the USA is Bowker. The prices are as follows: 1 for $125, 10 for $295, 100 for $575, and 1000 for $1500. As you can see, the more you purchase, the less each individual number costs. I'd need one ISBN for each format of the book; that is, one for the digital e-book, one for a paperback, one for hardcover, and so on.
Your donation will help me purchase those ISBNs so I'm not tied to only one company, and the publisher on record would be me. If we make it to $575, I'll raise the goal to $1500 to see if that's feasible.
