Publishing Print Book On Amazon

Publishing Print Book On Amazon

Go to Kindle Direct Publishing 

Download the short Printable Version of how to format your file.

I did this yesterday and it took me 5 hours to figure it out.  I would upload the file and it would take it, but my margins were way off.

I strongly urge you to join the Facebook Group, Publishing Made Simple

I uploaded the file.  waited 5 minutes or so and then launched the preview button, to see what was wrong, then I went back to my file, changed my file and then uploaded it.

I did this over and over again.  I think I have my margins right.  I am going to send for a proof copy to see what it looks like in print.  I know it is not perfect, but I need to see the book in print so I will know what I need to fix.

Publishing as E-Book is so simple, because there are no margins, trim size of page count.  So publishing an E-book, once you learn it, it is so easy to publish.

Print Books, not so much.

I don't want to pay someone to format my print book.  Amazon has all the answers on line, it just takes a bit longer to learn it.

I am not giving up.

I want this book in print form, mostly for me.  I have a cool cover and I want to hold my book and I want to give my book to people.  Though I might not sell that many, but I will have copies for book signings, and just knowing that I wrote and published a book

I am also going to make this book into Print and I am going to add  lined pages where readers can write in the book ;

So this is a learning curve.  I had published other Print Books on CreateSpace but Amazon merged Createspace with them, so I have to relearn how to do Print Books.  It is not hard, but for me time consuming, but why should I pay for something that I can learn to do it?

So I am not giving up and neither should you. 

Keep writing.

Keep publishing

Keep learning

Write No Matter What

I woke up and felt like a truck hit me.  I still turned my computer on and started writing.  That is the only way the story is going to get written.  Do I feel like writing?  Nope.  Do if feel like Blogging?  Nope.  I write cause that is what I do.  So I poured me a soda and let the caffine take its effect.  I have to get ready for work in a bit, I blooged, I wrote a bit, so I am still going in the write direction. I write no matter what.  whether I feel like  it or not. Have a great day. http://sharonleejohnson.com/

Work Ethic

What is your work ethic????  It might get that book written sooner. I admit that televison is my distraction from writing.  I can not write in the living room, where the telvision is staring at me.  I know it talks to me.  Maybe your distraction is something dirrerent.  The dishes calling you to wash them or those dust bunnies talkling to you.  Whatever it is we need to stop listening to them. I always plan on writing more than I do.  I came home from work yesterday, and had plans to write, then I ate and started flipping channels and then the time slipped by and I didn't write anything.  I think it all come down to one's work ethic.  Some have one and some don't. I think I am one of them that does not have a strong work ethic.  The fact that I want my book finished, is what motivates me.  I want to be a writer, so I write. http://iamwalkingwithgod.blogspot.com/
