Self-Publishing eBooks - The Absolute Beginner's Step-by-Step Guide (Paperback)

A guide to ebook publishing on a budget which takes the reader gently through every stage of the self-publishing process: from copy editing and proofing to the simplest, most robust, free ebook formatting method and on to sales, social media and publicity tips. Written by a non-techie journalist and author of mainstream-published fiction & non-fiction who has been there, on a very tight budget, and made many mistakes so that the reader doesn't have to. Whilst this book is aimed at the complete beginner, there is an additional techie chapter by IT man Mark Binner for those who wish to explore ebook coding further.
