Ebook self-publishing is quickly coming of age, with an estimated one million ebooks being self-published in the US alone last year. Just as rapidly, self-publishing is losing the “vanity” stigma. A growing number of authors are leaving their traditional publishers to go it alone and, on the other side of the coin, successful independent authors are being offered book deals.

Amazon holds the lion’s share of ebook sales through its Kindle device and Kindle apps for smartphones and computers. That makes the Kindle the logical place to start for a potential self-publisher.

Getting your manuscript properly formatted as an ebook and promoting it to stand out from the crowd can be a confusing new world. In this seminar Steven Lewis from KindleSelfPublishing.com will give authors a comprehensive overview of the process of publishing their books on Amazon. He will go through the technology and skills required; as well as giving writers a grounding in the promotional techniques that they will need to master.

Steven Lewis is a Mosman-based writer and journalist whose own Kindle books have become bestsellers. Through his popular blog, Kindle Self-Publishing (www.kindleselfpublishing.com), Steven has built an international following of writers pursing their dreams of becoming self-published authors.
