How does One Create an eBook?

1. All your ‘Pearls of Wisdom’ are typed into a File - Right?
2. Compile all those Files into one Document.
3. Copy said Document using another Name for the File.
4. Now, go back and Re-Edit the entire thing, using KISS Principle.
5. Thoroughly Review Every Minor Detail - Spell-Check - Grammar - Punctuation.

That’s the Ticket!

6. Determine Format for Final Product - Page Size - Font Size - Pictures?
7. Review Again - Details - Page Endings - Page Numbering - Headers - Footers?
8. Did you Include - Acknowledgements - Table of Contents - References?
9. PRINT a HARD Copy - READ It! ANY Errors? FIX Them!
10. Save in PDF Format, so no one can Tamper with It.

Now What?

11. You have this little ‘Darling’ Creation sitting in your Grey Box - So What?
12. Just because you SAY it is an eBook, does that make it So?
13. What further MAGIC must be Wrought Upon it to Make it ‘Down-Loadable?’
14. Do you Need to send the file to some Company that works such Magic?
15. If so - is that an Upload? How much will It Cost?

Aah - There lies the Rub!

16. It is Easy for those who have accomplished this Feat to just Spurt Out -
17. “Make an eBook!” - But How? Where? Who? Why? When?
18. How do YOU Pay? How do Buyers Pay? What are the Nitty-Gritties?
19. It may be just like ‘Riding a Bike’ - You’ll never Forget How!
20. BUT - What if you have Never Been on One? Duh?

Novices - Tyros - BEWARE!

21. Do I really sound that Dumb? Maybe I Am?
22. What if you Had a previous Bad Experience with PAYPAL?
23. What if They Took Three Months ‘Dues’ and Never Paid It Back?
24. Would you Prefer a Whole Bunch of Checks Cramming Your Mailbox?
25. Any Chance you are just a Tad Confused?

Is this a Double-DUH Moment?

26. Am I Guilty of Over-Complicating this Issue?
27. Is it Possible that you can just Post this So-called eBook on AD?
28. Do They Do the Actual Work? Set up a Detailed LINK?
29. I DUNNO! Never Sold Even One REAL Book There!
30. Oh Yeah - What about Copyright Protection?

Am I a Pain in the Proverbial Arse?


Questions - Questions - Questions!

That Is Why I Am -

Hmmm. Food for thought; but sad people have to pay to be published. Some can't afford it (like me, for instance)!

(((HUGS))) and much love, your friend in Tx., Karen Lynn. :(

The copyright part is easy, just send it in the The Library of Congress. But you'll have to look up the new "fee's". The rest of it? I have no clue but thanks for scaring me off! lol1

Ooooh, I can't imagine doing all of that and still wanting to write. So if someone were to buy it and down load it, how do they make it look good on their library shelf? It is just loose papers. Or perhaps I'm dumb.lol food for thought. Hugs, J'nia
