This book is your compass from start to finish. If you have an idea for a book you want to write, but do not know where to start, then the early chapters of this book will help you organize your ideas and create the framework for your book. Once you have your book finished, we go through three Amazon programs to get it out to the world. We will publish your eBook using Kindle Direct Publishing, then get printed with CreateSpace, and finally explore creating an audiobook with ACX. This book guides you through the setup process of all of these programs and explains the best royalty and distribution options for you as a beginning author. Self-publishing is very rewarding and allows you to get your ideas and writing to the world at little to no cost. Amazon has large distribution channels and by using them, we can maximize our exposure. This book combines portions of my short series, Becoming an Author, along with additional tips and strategies to maximize your potential.
