Product Description
The publishing industry is now run like the movie business, with publishers only interested in a narrow selection of likely blockbusters. No matter how good your manuscript is, unless big publishers feel your book is destined for the bestseller lists, they will not buy it. A lot of quality work never finds its way to readers, but at last, with eBooks, Print On Demand and the power of Web 2.0, authors and micro-publishers finally have the means to publish their own books and go indie, just as filmmakers and musicians have done before them. The IndieAuthor Guide takes you through every stage of the process, including illustrated, detailed, step-by-step instructions in its comprehensive chapters (contains about twice the amount of content you'll find in currently competing Kindle titles---compare 'file size'): Indie Authorship An Introduction; Publishing Options; Getting Organized; Creating Your Brand; DIY Formatting For POD; Editing And Revising; Designing Your Own Book Cover; Publishing Through CreateSpace; Publishing For The Kindle; Publishing To Other EBook Formats; Promotion; An HTML Primer.

Note that this edition was specially revised and updated for the Kindle. Web site references are hyperlinked, the chapter on Publishing For The Kindle is more detailed, and instructions regarding how to deal with graphics when publishing for the Kindle are greatly expanded, as it is assumed anyone reading the Kindle edition of this book likely intends to publish in that format.
