Title of review: The best ‘how to’ book I’ve read in years!, 5 stars
Interested in getting into the digital publishing field but feeling intimidated with the sheer amount of information you think you’ll need to learn first? Author Cynthia Reeser has solved that seemingly overwhelmingly obstacle with her book, “How to Publish a Kindle Book with Amazon.com: Everything You Need to Know Explained Simply”. Already an established writer, Reeser offers sound advice and suggestions for the hopefuls out there.
“How to Publish a Kindle Book with Amazon.com” walks you step by step through the process of converting files into Amazon’s Digital Text Platform, along with helpful hints and tips on writing, editing, pricing, marketing and promotion. She also elaborates upon publishing for blogs, newspapers, and magazines within the Kindle system. I was impressed with the amount of details and descriptions which will make it easy for readers at any computer skill level to follow.
Despite the number of self-publishing avenues available to the would-be writer, Reeser sets the ‘how to’ standard high by employing the same principles set for a traditionally published book. By focusing on this important information, her readers can apply the same methods to their digital works for better success. For example, the traditional publishing process mandates that books go through an enormous amount of editing, revisions, and above all, proofreading, proofreading, and more proofreading. Who wants to pay good money for a book full of misspellings, incomplete information, or poor grammar? Reeser insists that digital publications should be no different and she’s absolutely right. Too many self-published books are out on the market but are in dire need of a major editing overhaul. Therefore, utilizing these traditional publishing standards can make your book stand out above the rest.
Simply put, “How to Publish a Kindle Book with Amazon.com” is the best ‘how to’ book I’ve read in years! Even if you know absolutely nothing about the Kindle, you’ll be well on your way to becoming a digitally published author. Reeser is encouraging and motivating and her information is fun to read while maintaining a professional quality. She displays a contagious excitement for her subject and an eagerness to share her wealth of knowledge with others. A must read for writers looking to get their work ‘out there’ without the rejection letters!
