Victoria Pinto Rivas asked Martina McAtee:

What do you recommend to authors who want to publish their books in some self-publishing platforms as Create Space?

Martina McAtee I would say it depends on what your goals are. If you are planning on offering your print book online CreateSpace is a great option, they are reasonably priced and they do good work. However, if you have any hopes of getting into brick and mortar stores you need a distributor such as Ingram Spark that allows returns and offers retailers a significant discount. If you stick with strictly CreateSpace, there is little chance of getting into brick & mortar stores.
