e-Book Publishing DIY

The Do It Yourself Guide to Publishing e-Books



This guide is for people want to publish their non-fiction 'how-to' manual or compelling story as an e-book (and optionally a paperback book) at little or no cost, yet offer it for sale via online bookstores just like the big publishers do.

"e-Book Publishing DIY" is aimed at Joe Public who wants to 'get the job done' without getting bogged down in the nuts-and-bolts details of e-book file formats.

While the approach outlined here is primarily targeted at producing e-books in PDF, Amazon Kindle, and EPUB formats, in the final chapter I show how you can further leverage your e-book investment by publishing it in traditional paperback format... at little extra cost.

Contains information on free-to-use on-line tools including Adobe Buzzword, the Microsoft Word Web App, Google Docs, Lulu.com, CreateSpace, and PayPal.

Praise from a Customer

Today I was pleased to receive the following praise for our Publishing Assistance from Robert Pacilio, author of Meetings at the Metaphor Cafe. Robert said...

LOTONtech made publishing my first novel possible, but that is not why one should contact them for self-publishing. The reason to to use them are many, but primarily it boils down to personal service and professionalism. Tony and his wife corresponded with me on a daily basis for over a month in order to make absolutely sure every aspect on the novel was exactly as I wished it to be; not only that but they priced their services reasonably-- so much so that I felt I was part of their team and not just a customer. Over and over Tony made sure the cover design fit the demensions that would work for Create Space--and I was very exacting in what I wanted. LOTONtech took care of ever single worry I had from pagination to font design to uploading new materials to ordering proof copies.
Simply put, I felt I did not self publish, I felt LOTONtech was my designer, artistic editor and advisor all in one--anyone sitting at their computer frustrated with the complexities of self-publishing whether with Create Space or Lulu would be wise to contact Tony--and when they do they will feel empowered."

Thank you Robert, and good luck with your book.
