Book Pricing

Hi Everyone. I would like you advice/help please.

I am writing a book that required a lot of research about a crime concerning George Zimmerman. This is my first book. I am interested in e-book publishing, but I get the impression I have to sell the book for 9.99 or less to get a decent royalty. This won't work since I have put so much research into this effort. What I have read so far seems to refer to novels and such. Any insight is appreciated.

Write your book, then worry about how much to charge.

Writing it on a cost basis is never going to work.

The market/marketing will decide if your book will sell

if it doesn't sell.

You change what needs to be changed and write another one.

Here is some interesting thoughts about writing:

The advice is always the same. Keep going. Keep writing.
