ABOUT THE COURSE

The purpose of the Make Your Book course is to show you how to create your book in print and ebook formats professionally. First, you'll gain an understanding of the various book formats—PDF for print and EPUB and MOBI for digital—and how to convert your book into these formats.

You'll also understand e-reading devices, which formats they need (MOBI for Kindle and EPUB for all the others), and design considerations for creating your book in reflowable or fixed-layout format.

The details of book production is also included, for interior design and cover design.

A lot of authors use Amazon CreateSpace templates to format their books and design their covers and that's really easy, but it's not the most professional way to go about it. To get professional results you'll need to step up to professional book design templates with customization or hire out the book creation process.

Though the course is skewed toward the do-it-yourselfer, the information presented here is also essential for those of you who wish to hire out all or part of the process. When you understand the process, you can hire the right people and supervise the work.

You'll also find a lot of worksheets and lists, plus audio and video lessons and perspective by me and other experts who have valuable advice and examples to share.

Use the comments in each lesson to let me know how it's going or to ask me questions. I'm here for you!
