5 services to publish your book by Kim Komando
Everyone has a story to tell. Why
not share your story with the world?
Thanks to the Internet, it's
relatively easy to publish your masterpiece. You can get noticed and maybe even
make a few bucks in the process.
With the e-book market booming,
that's great news for would-be writers! Here are some tools to get you started.
ePub Bud - This non-profit
organization helps you write, edit and publish your novel for free. You
can even sell your work through Amazon and Barnes & Noble.
CreateSpace/Amazon - Easily publish a Kindle
e-book. You can also create a printed copy or an audio book. Better yet,
Amazon's reach means access to millions of readers around the world. Plus, you
can earn royalties of up to 80 percent.
Blurb - Do you have an amazing collection of
photographs that would make the perfect coffee table book? Blurb offers tools
to create beautiful photo books and sell them online. You can create
photo books from your Instagram account or Facebook profile as
well.
If you are making a photo book, I
recommend checking out my Essential Guides to Digital
Photography. It can help you to take your photos to the next
level.

you along your way. That includes hiring an expert through the site to give you
