Editorial Reviews

I loved this book. It opened my eyes at things I never thought of. I made well over 60 notes for myself to remember when I get to the point of publishing my book. The most important was for me to realize that I could do it. Before I read this book I thought of publishing: 'Hopefully I will do it one day'. While reading the book I made a firm decision to start working on my book immediately.

I just finished reading Kate Harper's Ebook, How To Publish and Sell Your Article On The Kindle. Kate gives 12 tips for publishing short documents. She actually gives that and so much more. This well organized document certainly gives the beginner much needed information, complete with details, to enter this area of digital publishing. Whether you call it an article, a document, or a short book, the information is invaluable.

This excellent and clear,short guide was extremely helpful!

I've been a working journalist for years, so I know how to write an article. But I wanted something that was about the step-by-step process of getting my work published electronically in general and on Kindle specifically and seeing it SELL -- and that is exactly what Kate Harper delivers here.

It's perfect for writers who need specific tips on formatting and producing a manuscript for uploading on Kindle and getting it in front of a paying audience.

There are many, many books out on how to format your books, e-books and articles for Amazon's Kindle Pubishing Program. Many rely on HTML expertise. This book doesn't. It speaks to the person who knows more about their subject than the specifics of the publishing process. It's an excellent guide for the person just starting out with Kindle Publishing. The author has excellent advice for new authors about managing expectations of readers as well, like including word counts.
