Thanks for your comments. So pleased...Hi Krystena, <br />Thanks for your comments. So pleased that this 'guide' proved helpful. It's amazing how much of a learning curve I've been on in the last year. The pace of change in indie publishing is so rapid and there are so many sharks out there trying to make a fast buck out of the whole thing. Hope the writing is going well, and stay in touch if you want any further help or advice - I'm not an expert but I'm beginning to feel very much like an 'experienced' traveller. You can catch up with me at my Twitter handle @KnightTrilogy. <br />Wishing you all the best.katie M Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05607147343013281524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-882687460473244397.post-14438995205026407662012-05-11T07:36:08.864-07:002012-05-11T07:36:08.864-07:00Thank you!

You're right about e-books first, that's how I was planning to do it but you just gave me confirmation. And Thanks for the tip about having a different isbn number for each format I hadn't read that any where yet.<br />AWESOME POST!Krystena Leehttp://koiunlimited.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-882687460473244397.post-62070043000791187172011-11-22T03:16:27.748-08:002011-11-22T03:16:27.748-08:00I really enjoy simply reading all of your weblogs....I really enjoy simply reading all of your weblogs.

I have to work my own tips and add it for people. You don't have to buy an html converter AT ALL - just use notepad or notepad++ HTML basic code is just that - basic! It's the extra codes people should know, so they can safely delete it. It dramatically reduces file/delivery size for your customers.RL.Treadwayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09630142688742804319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-882687460473244397.post-23337560139691122232011-04-08T04:13:00.667-07:002011-04-08T04:13:00.667-07:00I learnt the hard way that I should have pushed my...I learnt the hard way that I should have pushed my kindle e-sales first and banked some capital.It's taken a lot of work to recoup my outlay costs. Next book #2 of The Knight Trilogy will be e-pubbed four months before the paperback release. Will get cheaper On demand printing for give away ARC paperback copies and then invest in Biddles again when going for printed. <br />I also haven't invested enough time in pushing the paperback sales. This is my summer holiday project!!<br />I raised the money by treating it like a fundraiser - carboots, e-bay and lose change jars - wasn't easy but set it as a goal.katie M Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05607147343013281524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-882687460473244397.post-90393447613367203052011-04-08T04:03:51.236-07:002011-04-08T04:03:51.236-07:00Oh this rings bells, loud and clear.

I enquired the printing costs, too. Unfortunately, I can't afford to pay this much money upfront. I went with kindle and lulu. Though I'm now searching for another solution to print my books. It would be less money than yours as it's a collection of short stories, but still a lot of money upfront. But I will bet money on it: the quality is not to compare with Lulu or Createspace.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-882687460473244397.post-40130176270721566492011-04-08T03:51:01.028-07:002011-04-08T03:51:01.028-07:00This is a great post.
