So you've finished your manuscript. Congratulations! Now it's time to turn your words into an electronic version that can be read worldwide on an array of eReading devices. Hopefully it will turn your hard work and inspiration into a source of supplementary income--anything from latte money to those rare and lucky people who can quit their day jobs and write full-time.
You could pay someone to do this for you, but why waste money, and take all the creative power out of your hands, when you can do it yourself?
The process of ePublishing is free, and though it is a little tedious, it's not particularly difficult. What is difficult is wading through endless ePublishing web forums and bulky Formatting Guides and confusing Help and About sections to figure out where to publish, how to format your eBooks, and how to upload and manage them.
Luckily author Pamela Olson, who has six eBooks to her name, found a way to streamline the process considerably. She presents it here for you for the bargain price of only .99. It's virtually guaranteed to save you many hours (possibly days, and maybe even an ulcer or two). No prior knowledge is required other than a working knowledge of Microsoft Word and internet web browsing.
Simple doesn't mean 'plain,' however. In this guide, you'll learn how to create, upload, and manage eBooks that include:
- Beautifully formatted text, chapter titles, and headings
- Pictures, captions, and fleurons
- A clickable table of contents
- Clickable links
Once you master the techniques outlined in this guide, there will be plenty of room for adding your own personal flair to the design of your books. You'll also learn about the benefits and downsides of the various ePublishing platforms, how the pay structures work, and how to track sales and royalties. And the Resources section at the end points you toward your next step: Marketing!
