The Incredibly Simple Guide to Self-Publishing on Kindle

The 21st century is an exciting time for new authors. The advent of electronic books - Amazon Kindle in particular - has opened up publishing. No need now for writers to run the gauntlet of literary agents, rejection slips and long delays. Thousands of people are putting their work directly onto the open market, getting it read, and making a modest income in the process. This short book is for anyone who wants to write, whether or not they've written for publication before. We include suggestions on the sort of material that sells on Kindle, and how new authors can improve the quality of their work. We address the technical steps needed to open a Kindle account, to put work into the electronic format, to design eye-catching covers and to monitor sales. We have kept things simple. You can easily put your book onto the Amazon database if you have basic word processing software and access to the Internet. We wish you every success in doing so.
