Book excerpt: Did you know you can publish your book on Amazon KDP in as fast as a week for no money down? Whether you are just starting to write a book or you've finished one and have no idea where to turn, this book can help get your book launched into the market. It is an overview for writers who want to self-publish a children's paperback picture book, especially aspiring young writers, and includes quick tips and essential information on publishing topics that are simple and easy-to-read. It touches on the different parts of a book, story elements, laying out a book, fonts and text, illustrating, proofing a book, print-on-demand, royalties, uploading to Amazon KDP, and more. Useful templates and story maps that can be scanned and reused are provided to help writers organize their thoughts. You could write an entire book on every aspect of publishing, but this overview will help keep you from getting lost. The sooner you finish your book, the faster you can order one and turn the pages. Why are you waiting? Let's do this! ------------------------ This book DOES NOT COVER publishing eBooks or using Kindle Create. ----------------------- "How to Self-Publish a Children's Paperback Picture Book" focuses on publishing a physical paperback picture book that can be shipped directly from Amazon.com (internationally distributed), held in one's hands, given to friends, or sold by the author at events. Published books will sell on Amazon.com to the general public and can be ordered in quantities of one or more for author resale. This process also works for writers who want to affordably publish and distribute physical books with more pages such as a memoir, instruction manual, puzzle & game book, graphic comic book, coloring book, cookbook, end-of-year school highlights, yearbook, or a multi-page novel with no pictures at all, even if the book gets distributed to a limited number of people. For set up, the author is a novice at using Publisher and Word to format PDFs for uploading and wanted to share her publishing experience. If she can do it, you can do it. She distributes hundreds of books during author visits to schools. Other writers have found publishing success using similar writing and multimedia programs they are familiar with, such as Scrivener (for screenplays and large amounts of text), or those in the Adobe family. ---------------------- Related terms and phrases: Publishing a book, How to publish a book, Self-publishing, How to self-publish, How to publish on Amazon, How to publish using Amazon KDP, How to write a picture book, How to write a children's book, How to publish a paperback book, Elementary school author visit, Middle school author visit, High school author visit, Author visits in Long Beach, CA, Author visits in the Los Angeles area

Book excerpt: ***ReViewed, ReVised, ReEdited, & RePublished on June 14, 2015.*** This update includes a case study of a successful, self-published author who took 20 years to get published. The case study is called, "Maids of Misfortune", and it was added as an appendix. Also, updated statistics from the publishing industry and various experts are referred to throughout the book where appropriate. This book is a journey. It is told as a story, set in its historical context of what it means to do something you have never done before. I invoke the names of people who have achieved great things by teaching themselves what they needed to know. You are in good company, with presidents and poets, generals and soldiers, rich men and poor men, Nobel Prize winners, artists, architects, inventors and scientists. True, some of these people were geniuses, but most were just common men and women like you and me. If they did it, so can we. The one thing they all have in common with you and me is that they had to teach themselves. Like you and me, they were autodidactic. No matter how frustrated they became, they stayed focused on their goals, and ultimately, achieved them. Why? Because they never gave up, even when it took 20 years, they never gave up. You and I are in good company, so we won't give up when we run into difficulties. Self-publishing is highly skilled, technical work, even for people who know what they are doing. For you and me, it is a daunting, challenging task. We must be inspired, we must be motivated. If you are like me and most other people, your first try at self-publishing will be frustrating. Ask other people to help you when you need it. It's not an admission of failure, it's a sign of wisdom to ask for help. Just never give up, and you will succeed. Perseverance will take you from an elementary, basic skill level to an advanced, highly skilled level. Patience, with yourself, is needed. As time goes on, you will get better and better at self-publishing. I guarantee it. I have given you a set of tips and principles that helped me when I first began. They will be worth your time to reflect on. Remember, if we can connect to the stories of the people who came before us, and were successful, then we can be successful also. The information in the book is complete and thorough. Like the previous edition, I used the self-publishing steps in the book to self-publish this book. Anytime you feel like something is missing, or incomplete, understand that I have given you all of the information that I used to publish this book. Backtrack, and you will surely find a solution to whatever problem you may be having. Finally, the purpose of this book is to help you self-publish, to help you make your dream to become a successful writer, a moneymaking writer, come true. It's not easy to do for everyone. Some of us require more effort to achieve the results we want. For others, self-publishing is so easy that it seems like almost anyone can do it. I did it, and I believe you can do it too. That's why I wrote this book, to help you publish your book. You can trust me, because I have self-published more than 100 times. I know what I'm talking about. If you wait for a publisher, you might never see your book(s) published without paying a high price. If you self-publish, your book will be published. In fact, ALL of your books will be published. How much will it cost you to get published? Absolutely nothing! That's right, $0.00 to get your book(s) published. Get this book and get started on your self-publishing journey today.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This first book-length analysis of Amazon’s Kindle explores the platform’s technological, bibliographical, and social impact on publishing. Four Shades of Gray offers the first book-length analysis of Amazon’s Kindle and its impact on publishing. Simon Peter Rowberry recounts how Amazon built the infrastructure for a new generation of digital publications, then considers the consequences of having a single company control the direction of the publishing industry. Exploring the platform from the perspectives of technology, texts, and uses, he shows how the Kindle challenges traditional notions of platforms as discrete entities. He argues that Amazon’s influence extends beyond “disruptive technology” to embed itself in all aspects of the publishing trade; yet despite industry pushback, he says, the Kindle has had a positive influence on publishing. Rowberry documents the first decade of the Kindle with case studies of Kindle Popular Highlights, an account of the digitization of books published after 1922, and a discussion of how Amazon’s patent filings reflect a shift in priorities. Rowberry argues that while it was initially convenient for the book trade to outsource ebook development to Amazon, doing so has had adverse consequences for publishers in the mid- and long term, limiting opportunities for developing an inclusive and forward-thinking digital platform. While it has forced publishers to embrace digital forms, the Kindle has also empowered some previously marginalized readerships. Although it is still too early to judge the long-term impact of ebooks compared with that of the older technologies of clay tablets, the printing press, and offset printing, the shockwaves of the Kindle continue to shape publishing.
