Product Description

So you've got a manuscript burning a hole in the hard drive of your eight year old Gateway desktop, but you're confused as to how to turn that sucker into an eBook. You could spend a year learning HTML, or pay someone a stack of cash to do it for you... but why? This fast and funny guide is designed for all skill levels and will quickly teach you how to:

* Format your manuscript to look slick and professional
* Catch leftover typos... yeah, you have them
* Painlessly create a table of contents
* Transform your DOC into formats compatible with the Kindle and Nook sans pissing and moaning
* Publish on Amazon, B&N, and Smashwords without all the guesswork

All of that, plus advice on how to get your work in front of eager readers, in less than 15,000 entertaining words. Don't let a lack of money or time keep you from becoming a published author!

So far, so good. I appreciate the step-by-step, no assumptions made approach to this guide. I could do without the sarcasm (!) even though that's how my mind generally works, it's a little distracting but I guess it keeps me laughing along the way. I was pleased to find that I was already on the right track with my document preparation. I'll be back with a complete review once I get "this sucker" published as an eBook!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars This book got me published., August 27, 2011

I used "The eBook Formatting & Publishing Guide" to get my own eBook published. Originally, I was willing to pay through the nose to have someone else do it because it seemed like a daunting task, but the step-by-step instructions were simple and got me through the process without banging my head on the computer. Lamendola's humor offered some much-needed comic relief and actually made the whole thing fun. Not what I was expecting to happen at all! I'm working on my next eBook already. Will I format it myself? Yes, but only if I have "The eBook Formatting & Publishing Guide" sitting next to me.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this guide by Michael Lamendola. It was funny, informative and I learned a lot. It is great to have something refreshing to learn from and laugh a little while you're doing so. I can't wait to get my own book through the process. Good work Michael. Looking forward to more.The Yard Sale (But It Ain't No Bargain)
