About

A Guide to Effective Self-Publishing.

Anyone who plans to publish a book needs the technical information neatly presented in layman's terms. It is important to know the basics of electronic publishing.

Discover the sound techniques needed for producing an effective book cover that works well as a thumbnail online. Read how effectively contrast and bold fonts draw attention to your book long before the buyer views your book's page.

The 'editing' is a vital stage of any publication. Learn how to edit your own manuscript on a tight budget. Use the provided lists of 'commonly misspelt words' and add your own. Start writing more efficiently and avoid the issue of incorrectly spelt words that are replaced with properly spelt, but incorrect words.

Once understood, metatags can accomplish many feats and you can speed up their implementation with the help of a template.

This book is about how to package your product in the best possible way so that it looks polished and professional. It is not a get rich quick scheme, or a learn 'how to write' manual.

You will learn how to:
- produce effective book covers that also work as thumbnails,
- create lists and automata to check for common typos,
- improve your workflow during both writing and publication,
- format your book in a logical layout for electronic distribution,
- format your book for print following established tradition,
- apply metatags to your images and PDF files with a template,
- choose the correct genres and keywords for your metatags,
- select an appropriate nom de plume,
- use social media correctly,
- locate invaluable software and tools.
