Greetings! Thank you for your earlier comments and kind words. Any idea what I am looking at in terms of costs to be self-publsihed?
I also need to have the book edited. I read on this site that they will edit up to 32,000 words. My manuscript is 77,000 words. Any advice on this item?
Thanks again!
Hi T.D.
Thanks for the heads-up on publishing with Smashwords. I am about to do the same, so it is good to hear that it is a relatively easy task. What did you do about a book cover?
regards
Great. Very helpful T. D.
Many thanks!
Hi Moussa,
Some friendly, and very wise advice from a personal point of view. If this is your first book then I can vouch for Smashwords Publications who will publish your eBook for free, and allow you to include an electronic ISBN at no cost! Having said that, self-publishing an eBook is not as easy as it sounds, and you'll have to learn the basic rules which apply to the formatting - but a couple of hours reading is all it takes, and there's a free manual to guide you all the way. I've got three eBooks published, and they're doing quite well in the downloads [all are free to download]. In the publishing world you need to generate a loyal readership, which can be achieved if your eBooks are interesting and free to download at the outset - gather a readership and then price your eBooks accordingly. For further info just visit www.smashwords.com. Hope you find this answer worthwhile, my friend.
