About This Book

This book is the one that I wish had been on my desk four years ago. I had to find out the hard way how to publish an e-book, by tracking down bits and pieces of information online, trying out different strategies, and making a fair number of mistakes. I’ve collected in one handy location everything I know about e-book publishing so that you can get your e-book in front of readers with a minimum of fuss and expense.

This book is designed so that you can dip in and out. Every chapter stands on its own, and you can use the table of contents (or index) to find whatever you need to know right now. I write in a down-to-earth, friendly style, as though we’re chatting (over a pot of tea — I’m British) about your plans to write and publish an e-book. I hope you’ll enjoy Publishing E-Books For Dummies, but most of all, I hope that before long, I’ll see your finished e-book on the virtual bookshelves.
