Quite a while ago, on the desk-top far, far away... Who has not dreamed of not only creating their own guide, but seeing it in publications o-n Amazon.com, having a replica for their shelf, getting five copies for my mother? Well, now you can do it for some cybernetic elbow grease and a 99 fee. These pages will show you how I did it, and odds are you may do it too. I have been reading for several years about Print On Demand, the neat new techology where you place in PDF files on one end One for the address, one for the interiors and an attractive, perfect-bound, bookstore-quality book happens the other. I have even seen the technology in motion at an document imaging tradeshow thats my career, by the way. Ive known as a way to self-publish, including my own personal father others who have used Print On Demand POD. My problem with that is Ive no place in my own garage for books, I dont would like to get involved in the act of selling and delivery books, handling results, and so on. Suddenly, while Googling some thing a week ago, I stumbled on some wonderful Goo. Amazon, the web bookstore, has consumed a POD author called BookSurge, making it a different Amazon section. Now I could simply take my book project, publish it to Amazon/BookSurge, pay a price, and VOILA! my book is on Amazon for all to buy. It ships within 4-8 hours, BookSurge pays a-25 royalty to me within 60 days, I could also buy five copies for my mother at a discount! I mailed BookSurge and was assigned an account manager, who Ill call Joseph since his name is Joseph. I asked about the information on publishing a book. For 599 I could obtain the hand-holding, mail us your manuscript version of the writing, or if I was brave, brave, and could format my own PDFs, for 99 I could make use of the Authors Express program to add my book projects. 99 felt like the way to go, because my book creation project was made to be the precursor of many more titles. I went all around the site, installing case PDFs, submission guidelines, and anything else I may find. Navigating To www.amazon.com/glass files certainly provides cautions you should use with your cousin. The site recomends using Adobe -something or another- for text formating, and Adobe Acrobat 6 not 7! for PDF creation. I decided in the git-go that Microsoft Word and PDF Factory Pro would have to benefit me, because that is what Id o-n my desktop, and I do not want to spend months studying another desktop publishing application, while I am sure it is an excellent one. Besides, I had been contemplating writing these pages, and I wanted to come back up with a procedure most anybody would be comfortable with. Really the only short-cut I got is that my address is plain text, without pictures onto it. I thought my first book is going to provide generally if not entirely on Amazon, and a pretty cover is not that important there. Regardless, I can always go back and enhance my edition The additional payment for resubmitting both the inner or the cover is 50, after the book is published.
