The ‘outing’ led to the teacher’s murder. The states attorney decided the minister had put the teacher’s life in jeopardy by singling him out for only one reason; the teacher was a homosexual. The states attorney charged the minister [...]

Hi, thank you for the information on this site. I have made a book trailer and used shutterstock film footage and royaltyfreeTV.com music. A total price of £69. Then I downloaded a free trail version of Final Cut Pro X, and two weeks later after a lot of patience using You Tube tutorials on how [...]

Hansen commented on the blog post Review: There’s Always Another Case by William Thomas It's unfortunate that the book dissolved into punctuation, spelling, etc. errors three-fourths of the way through. I hope the author realizes he can fix them up and resubmit to Amazon. I would hate to see a quality book die because of these issues.

My goal really was 100,000 copies, in the spirit of what Darcie Chan was able to do with her first novel "The Mill River Recluse" (which is a pretty good book, IMO). She's sold over 400,000 copies [...]

Why wouldn't I? My words are not worth anything, unless I have readers. I could care less than to think of ego from my writing.

Tarah: Thanks for your comment. I feel that a self-pub ebook author that does not have the expertise to tackle the formatting part of the ebook creation should seek help from a professional. Standards or not it can be daunting task. I have talked to authors that just want to write but they find out [...]

There's nothing written in stone that requires a self-published author to format a book for seven--or any--publishing platforms. Of the fifty titles my publishing company currently offers, around thirty are my own books, the rest are by friends or friends of friends, all of whom feel better off writing books rather than doing all the [...]

Wolff commented on the blog post Real eBooks: Are We Still in the Stone Age? I just went through the (arduous at times...) process of getting my self published book across the ebook platforms as well. I got the impression instantly that no regular Joe (or I should say no self published author that I know) would have an easy time getting their book even formatted correctly for the various [...]

Eric: I totally agree with your comment. You almost have to write and format to the Amazon standard because that is where the most action is and hope the other versions/platforms stick to the wall someway. When I converted and self-published my ebook, Call Off the Dogs, I ended with three different versions of the [...]

The biggest roadblock to James's proposal is the huge gap between the capabilities of the various ebook readers. The utter lack of an industry standard--and the fact that no one appears to be working toward even the mere concept of an industry standard--leaves the ebook publisher with a choice between standardizing ebooks on a least-common-denominator [...]

However, despite my opinion, you always need somebody else's too, [...]
