I’m going to be trying to finish creating my first ebook and then offer it for sale over the next month or so and this page is my initial “notes” for how to go about it. When I come across some useful concept  I’ll either add a link here or add a page to the new Ebook Publishing HowTo category.

The first resource I have to recommend is a website called smashwords to which you basically upload your manuscript and it converts and then sends it to various publishing sites like Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Apple, and more. The first link describes their service, but at the bottom of the page it has a link to several articles about how to be successful in publishing ebooks. They look like pretty good resources.

The second link is a to a page where you can download their free book about how to format your ebook.

I haven’t used the smashwords.com service so I’m only recommending them as a potential option and as a resource to learn from. If I decide to use them as my distributor then I’ll definitely post a review.
