Getting published…

The ebook way

Okay, so you’ve written a manuscript, edited it a million times, got some feedback from friends (hopeful critical feedback) and you may have even found a former editor to help with the final edits, let’s publish!

The easiest site to getting started on publishing is Amazon’s site, KDP (Kindle Direct Publishing). The site is very user friendly and has a Jumpstart tutorial.

Once you’ve launched, it just takes a day or two to go LIVE, and then it’s purchasable online. You set the price.

A couple things to know…

I like playing with my photos, using Word, and even Paint, so I created my own cover; however, KDP does offer a cover creator, too.

Ebooks are uploaded onto a person’s electronic reader, which means no formatting is necessary since they will choose font style and size.

You can promote your book with SALES! I like making it free in the hopes of getting reviews. Yes. We are like Hollywood stars wanting good reviews, or ANY reviews for that matter. And Amazon doesn’t make it easy. The system watches for possible friends and families or even if YOU have reviewed your own book, and throws them out.
