E-publishing your book for Amazon (Kindle), iBookstore (iPad), Nook, Kobo and all

A three-hour course

E-publishing for Amazon’s Kindle, Apple’s iBookstore (iPad), Barnes & Noble (the Nook), the Kobo, and other devices, including the plain-old PC, has revolutionised self-publishing. More than one self-published author with an ebook has joined the elite Kindle Million Club — selling over a million ebooks on the Kindle. In fact the first member of the Kindle Million Club for Amazon’s UK store was a self-published author.

You have the potential to publish your book instantly to an international audience.

Publish your own book

E-publishing can seem overwhelming at first. There are different ebook formats and devices to publish to (Kindle, iPad, Nook, Kobo…). All have their pros and cons. Then are are the varying rules, royalty schemes, tax implications, book lending programs…

Did you know your iPhone is also a Kindle? This course breaks down the confusion and gives you a plan of attack for e-publishing your book.

What you’ll learn in E-publishing your book for Amazon and other platforms…

Learn how to get your book into the hands of readers all over the world.

In this half-day session on e-publishing for the Kindle, the iPad, the Nook and other major e-readers you’ll learn:

  • The e-publishing landscape from an Australian perspective: which online bookstores are open to e-publishing from Australia?
  • The devices your readers will be using, and the idiosyncrasies, pros and cons of e-publishing to each
  • The steps you need to take to turn your manuscript into an ebook you can publish with pride
  • A glossary of terms — speak the language of e-publishing with confidence!
  • How to promote your book to readers, including the most counter-intuitive thing you’ll ever hear about book promotion
  • How to receive your royalities in Australia with the minimum fuss and tax
Find out why what most self-publishers will tell you about book promotion is wrong (and why most of them aren’t successful)

 

E-publishing your book for Amazon (Kindle), iBookstore (iPad), Nook, Kobo and all  is ideal for authors who:

  1. Want to self-publish their book and need a solid grounding in the e-publishing opportunities available to them

Steven Lewis - travel writer

On assignment in Thailand

Steven Lewis has been a journalist and professional writer for over 20 years. He has written for the Financial Times, Esquire, GQ, and the International Herald Tribune, among others.
