My new adventure in self-publishing
Sunday, April 3, 2011 at 03:31PM For a while I’ve been thinking about writing a how-to book. Right now, for these purposes, the content doesn’t matter. But the idea’s been rolling around in my head and since I know how to lay out a book, write, get an ISBN, and design a bright and happy cover, I’ve decided to try. I’m composing directly in InDesign; why bother with Word when I can tip-tap the keys and see how it flows?
I’m also in the middle of a number of freelance editing jobs, so my progress hasn’t been remarkable. I am giving myself six weeks to get the writing done. Then we’re going try creating and selling the ebook version, and perhaps a POD for the print-lovers. I bought a URL and hosting space. I’ve worked extensively with Lightning Source in the past, but think maybe using CreateSpace this time around too might be helpful. What about the aggregators? Brave. New. World.
