Learn how to publish your own e-book
In On Writing, Stephen King describes the moment when every writer reads something that’s been published and realizes it’s total garbage. And if that garbage was good enough to go in a book, surely their garbage can survive out there in the wild, with real readers and everything.
These days, it’s the easiest it’s ever been to self-publish, assuming you’re willing to do the work. But how do you even get started? This set of online courses is dedicated to self-publishing e-books. It’s a straightforward way to get expert guidance, and it’s only $25 for all seven courses. Here’s what’s included:
Kindle publishing
Amazon is the world’s biggest marketplace for e-books, so if you want to get your book in the hands of your soon-to-be-loyal fans, you’re going to want to make sure it’s available on that platform. This Kindle publishing guide helps you through marketing, researching competitors, and deciding if you want to go exclusive. It includes 32 lectures, and one hour of content, available to you for life (in case your grand book plans get put on hold).
Kindle e-book formatting
Writing the book is only 90% of the battle. And a big part of that last 10% is formatting. Nobody is going to want to read your masterpiece if all the text is jumbled or the margins don’t work. This course will help you format your book with Scrivener, guaranteeing a solid reading experience.
