Writing for e-books

Writing and publishing my e-books has been the steepest learning curve I have ever been through.  (Maybe learning to talk was more difficult but I can’t recall.)

The first book I published was an experiment and not meant to be published at all.  I just pressed the button on the Kindle page and found it had been published.  Wow.  I didn’t mean it to happen but it had.

Sorting out the glitches in formatting my first books took me days and days.

I am still a novice but I have learnt so much, partly from my own experience but also because of the help and encouragement I have received from blogs, emails and general advice from people who have published before me.  I couldn’t have done it without them.

So my advice to anyone considering this route is to read some good books on the subject, follow some excellent blogs (I’ve listed a few) and then experiment, learn and amend.  And then, when you’ve learnt something, be prepared to help others along the way.

Good luck with your venture.
