Publishing E-Books For Dummies

Foolish Assumptions

I’ve made a few assumptions about you:

You write English capably, and you aren’t seeking advice on grammar, spelling, or sentence structure. You’ve already written a few short stories or articles, though you need a hand in completing an e-book.

You’re comfortable with using computers, and you have basic experience in using word processing and e-mail. Though you definitely don’t need to be technically minded, you need to be willing to try out new programs.

You’re publishing your own e-book, under your own steam. You may or may not be willing to hire freelance editors, designers, or technical experts to help.

Of course, even if all these assumptions don’t quite fit you, you can still benefit from Publishing E-Books For Dummies. Use the table of contents (or the index) to find the parts or chapters that apply to your specific situation. For example, if you’re setting up as a contractor working with independent e-book authors, you can find plenty of useful tips on formatting and publishing e-books in Parts II and III.
