The Inca (Incorporating No Conventional Authors) site is a free bazaar where any author who has a stock of their own books at home and wants to sell directly to the readers can have a link added. Conventionally, there is no contact between author and reader, but here, it becomes more personal. Author, in order to list your book here, you must have a stock of your work ready for sale (or be working on a book you need us to help you with). They might be a batch you have bought from your publisher, or you may have entered into a contract with an agency that charges you to have your books printed and have supplied you with stock. Either way, you should be able to satisfy the customer order directly, and ship from your own home.
We promote sales of listed books by encouraging the authors who use the site to purchase those from other authors on the site. This way, everybody wins, and those boxes of unsold works gradually get used up. When they're gone, the products can be delisted, so if you are a reader after something specific, you had better not dally!

Can we publish your book?
Not in the conventional sense. If you already have a stock of books, we will show them on our site at no cost for you. If you are still working on your manuscript, we can help you get it into a perfect state ready for printing, and then link you with a short-run printer, who for a very reasonable price will produce as few as 20 copies for you to sell from home via this site, or distribute to outlets such as bookshops, libraries, etc. If you don't want that hassle, the formatted book can be submitted directly to Amazon instead, although the royalty you receive will be after Amazon's costs, and therefore less than you selling direct. 

So, what's in it for the Incas?
* Helping authors out of their problem of a stock of unsold masterpieces gradually falling apart in loft or garage, by giving them an extra outlet to move the books on.
* To minimise the risk and outlay of self-publishing for authors, buying their own stock.
* To improve the standard of self-published works. All the books for sale are checked via the Incas for a quality of both format and content.
* To promote our services. We provide formatting, editing, proof, design, and marketing advice for authors. You don't need to take any of these, though. If you already have a quality product, the listings will still be free. We take no commission on your sales; the contract is directly between author and customer.
