Ready to self-publish but are overwhelmed with all the platform choices? This intensive course walks you through all the steps to using CreateSpace, Amazon’s print-on-demand outlet for self-publishing. In this course we will cover:

  • Preparing your manuscript — editing, typesetting, and cover design — should you outsource some of this?
  • Graphics — special considerations for illustrated work and photographs.
  • File extensions — Amazon does not play nicely with Adobe products.
  • Staying in the Amazon universe — pros and cons
  • Uploading your book — things to consider before you hit “send.”
  • Hidden costs on CreateSpace — ISBN, Library of Congress listings, etc.
  • Royalties and distribution — getting paid!
