Self-Publishing: You CAN Do it Yourself

If you listen to the "experts" in self-publishing, you would think you needed to spend $1000 or more for each book. You have to hire cover designers, editors (yes, more than one), marketing experts and people to format your book. Just about every one of these tasks dedicated self-publishers can do on their own.

E-book Formatting Made Easy

Formatting a book for Kindle is one facet of self-publishing many people feel is "just too hard" to do.

Quick formatting
The Nuclear Option
Setting Styles
Creating a Clickable Table of Contents
Removing Hidden Characters
Understanding Print vs. E-book Formatting
Handling Images
Creating Mobi and Epub Files
