Self Publishing an E-Book

Have you ever read a book and thought you could do better than that? At one time or another, most of us have. But we never do anything about it because getting a book into print has to be one of the most difficult tasks in the world.

These days you really need an agent before a publisher will even look at your manuscript, and it's hard enough to find an agent. Even assuming you get that far, the vast majority of potential books are rejected.

If you make it as far as an acceptance, you'll discover that it takes a year to eighteen months for your book to see print, during which time you'll wrangle with editors who want to change your ideas as well as your words. You'll get an advance payment on your book, but unless you're lucky, that's all you'll see - most books lose money. Should yours be one to go into the black, you'll be waiting months before you see any of it, with a significant proportion held back in case of returns.

The Odds Are Stacked Against You. But You Can do Something About it!

Welcome to the Era of the E-Book.

Electronic publishing, or e-publishing, has made for a level playing field. Now you can write your own book, publish it yourself, arrange the distribution, and keep the money. Nor do you have to wait forever for your payment to arrive, as soon as you make a sale, it's right there.

How can that be anything but a good thing?

Writing your book, taking it through the e-publishing and distribution, then publicising it takes some time and effort.

In Publish An E-Book, we guide you through the whole process, from outlining your idea in book form to getting it on Amazon (the biggest bookshop in the world) for computers, and PDAs. We also guide you through printing on demand, writing your press release and creating a site where you can sell your book from.

It's not difficult. You don't need to be a computer whiz to make it all happen. Just follow the instructions, and you'll find yourself with an e-book available for millions to buy, and a whole new career as a writer and expert in your chosen field.

We've taken the mystery out of being a published author, and show you how to do it for yourself. You might not write a best seller, but you'll have the satisfaction of seeing your book out there and available to buy. You'll get a sweet feeling from the money you make, too.

So when you next read a book you don't need to say, I can do better than that! With Self Publishing an E-Book, you can sit down and make it happen.
