How to Create Your Book on Amazon for 99 45772

A long time before, on a desk-top far, far away...

Who has not imagined not only creating their own book, but seeing it in publications on Amazon.com, having a copy for their shelf, buying 'five copies for my mother'?

Well, you can now do it for some cybernetic elbow grease and a $99 price. These pages will show you how I did it, and odds are you can do it too. I have been reading for many years about Print On Demand, the great new techology where you devote PDF documents on one end (One for the cover, one for the insides) and a lovely, perfect-bound, bookstore-quality book happens another. I've even seen the technology in action at an document imaging tradeshow (that's my profession, from the way.)

I have known other folks who have used Print On Demand (POD) as a means to self-publish, including my own father. My problem with that is I've no room in my garage for books, I do not want to get involved in the act of marketing and delivery books, handling returns, an such like.

Suddenly, while Googling something a week ago, I stumbled on some fantastic Goo. Discover further on our partner link - Visit this web page: www.crunchbase.com/person/tyler-collins. Amazon, the online bookstore, has consumed a POD publisher called BookSurge, making it a different Amazon team. Now I could add it to Amazon/BookSurge, just take my book project, pay a price, and VOILA! my book is o-n Amazon for all to get. I-t ships within 4-8 hours, BookSurge pays me a-25 royalty within 60-days, I will also get five copies for my mother in a discount!

I mailed BookSurge and was given an account manager, who I will call Joseph (because his name is Joseph). I asked concerning the details of writing a book.

For $599 I could get the hand-holding, mail us your manuscript version of the publishing, or if I was bold, courageous, and could format my own PDFs, for $99 I could make use of the Author's Express plan to upload my book projects.

$99 looked like the way to go, since my book design project was designed to be the forerunner of many more games.

I ran throughout the site, installing case PDFs, submission guidelines, and other things I could find. The site recomends using Adobe -something or another- for text formating, and Adobe Acrobat 6 (not 7!) for PDF creation.

I decided in the git-go that Microsoft Word and PDF Factory Pro will have to work for me, because that is what I had on my desktop, and I don't want to spend months studying another desktop publishing software, although I am sure it's a good one. This compelling this page is not affiliated web site has a pile of offensive tips for when to acknowledge this idea.

Besides, I was already contemplating writing this site, and I wanted to come back up with a process most anyone could be comfortable with.

The only real shortcut I took is that my address is plain-text, without any images about it. I thought my first book will probably sell largely if not entirely o-n Amazon, and a fairly cover is not that essential there. Regardless, I could always go back and enhance my version (The extra charge for resubmitting either the interior or even the address is $50, when the book is published.)
