The Author’s Manual: A Treatise for Self-Published Authors

Everybody has a book in their head. That may be, but writing it down and publishing it is another matter. It is a far more complex and demanding activity than the novice might think. This little book takes you through the process of turning your basic ideas into quality text, editing it properly and presenting it to professional standards. It does so in terms that the beginner can understand. It also explains the process of publishing the completed book, makes useful suggestions on how best to promote it and details the royalties process. It is, put simply, an 'Author's Manual'. It is written with publication on the Kindle (and CreateSpace for printed copies) in mind, but can be used elsewhere as well. Thoroughly revised and updated for 2016, the Manual now includes more detailed instructions and suggestions for all aspects of the process, in particular, promotion.
