E-Publishing: It's a Process

So, I'd been thinking for some time now that I would try my hand at self publishing now that ebooks make it virtually cost free. I hemmed and hawed for a while because technologically savvy I am not. But during all this time I read a lot about the process from various websites and blogs and talked to a veteran of the venue, Kathy Carmichael, and decided that I could do this.

Amazon's KDP program seemed the way to go because, let's face it, Amazon has the lion's share of the ebook market. They also have this free guide titled Building Your Book For Kindle in, of course, an ebook format. I strongly recommend you download this guide and read it through to the end before starting the process of uploading your manuscript. It really is a step by step guide and even I couldn't go wrong when following the instructions.

And so, when I was finally able to stop obsessively editing The Blessing of Hannah, I managed to get it up and running as an ebook in just a matter of a couple of hours. (Okay, so I had a few issues uploading my cover but that had nothing to do with Amazon or their guide.)

The only expense involved has been my cover which tricia pickyme did for me--which I love, love, love. And of course you can find it at http://www.amazon.com/Blessing-Hannah-Rebekahs-Children-ebook/dp/B00AGAZO46/ref=la_B00AGP2XJA_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1354485449&sr=1-1
