How to Publish Your First Book - A Do-It-Yourself Guide to Self-ePublishing

So you want to write a book – and you want to publish it yourself? ...you’ve come to the right place. Just imagine … you’re at that pot-luck meal ... There’s so much to talk about … sister Susan’s bursitis … brother Jim’s new pacemaker … that neighbor’s bothersome dog. It’s your turn to add to the conversation. “I’m a published author!” The crowd hushes as heads turn in your direction. “I just wrote my first book and it’s been published by Amazon.” Now you’ve really got an audience. “I’ve finally written that cook-book I’ve been working on, and it’s on the market.” That’s so much more interesting than bursitis, pacemakers and noisy dogs, isn’t it? So, the question pops up from several interested and inquisitive sources, “How’d you do it? … Isn’t that hard? … Wasn’t it expensive? … Who’s your publisher?” So many questions, and you’ve become the expert. It wasn’t hard at all, and it didn’t really cost anything. You published it yourself and your own book is being sold to a huge global market online.
