It has been hard going and a tad frustrating at times but
when I figure something out it is a joyous moment. I have had to spend long
nights searching the web for sites to help me. Apparently there are still sweet
people out there who have gone through it and posted on their websites and
blogs as to how best to do it. So I thought it is better if I try and direct
some to their sites as they are way better at step-by-step showing prospective
e-book self-publishers how to do it. I don’t remember all the sites but I know
a few and I will leave links below to them. I hope they will help any authors
out there. All I can say is to research as much as you can. There are so many
wonderful sites out there that have helped me a ton. I feel horrible that I
took the info I learned and forgot many of the websites so I can’t really
redirect others to them.
Do not give up because it will be worth it! I am truly
hoping by mid to late-September or early October that I have my first novel available for purchase.
I hope that by early 2015 I have one more novel for purchase. I am
going to try and do at least one, two, or even three novels a year. Well that’s
the plan anyway!
So I will keep anyone who is interested up to date with my
journey into the land of e-book self-publishing!
Happy Writing Lovelies! Happy Reading

eHow has some great articles on making table of
contents which are worth looking at but it took me time to remember how I did
it in class years ago and reading different articles to remember and get it right.
Editing Services & Cover Art Designers:
Camilla Chafer suggested these editing services and
cover art designers that she has used. I have not personally used them but I
checked out their sites and they do seem pretty good and professional but before
going with any designer or editor do your REASEARCH.
I am not going to be using these particular services
on the novel I am uploading but that does not mean I will not research them
thoroughly and perhaps use them in the future.
