There is a certain amount of detail online about the various settings, and once you get a bunch of settings that you are happy with, you can save it as a template for future use. It isn’t particularly easy, especially on the Windows version of Scrivener, but it can be done. If your work is in Scrivener, you can compile your epub directly from the program. That said, let’s have a look at some of the solutions for producing e-books. So whatever method you choose, make sure that you can keep track of all the different versions of your book. To cope with these kind of changes, it’s good practice to maintain a single definitive file that you can use as a basis for all your work going forward. how much work would it create if you needed to change a call to action in your book, or if you found a typo. But even if you’re going to produce only one book, it would be wise to think about how you will handle any modifications that you need to make to your book’s content in the future, e.g. If you are going to produce more than one e-book, it’s a very good idea to establish an effective system from the outset. At this point it’s a good idea to stop and think about your future publishing plans. How you go about producing your e-books depends on where you’re starting from and how you want to handle modifications. In this podcast, I’m going to focus on epub, because Amazon’s Kindle direct publishing platform, or KDP for short, will allow you to upload your e-book as an epub, and the KDP platform will take care of the conversion for you. mobi is the format used by Amazon for their Kindle devices, and epub is the format used by all other e-readers and e-book reading apps. When it comes to e-books there are two formats you need to concern yourself with: mobi, and epub. We’ll start looking at e-books, and work through those options, then we’ll have a quick look at paperback books. Let’s start from scratch and work our way upwards. So that takes is onto this week’s main topic which is producing your books. In fact, the print books aren’t quite all there yet, because there are certain demands to producing print books that seem to take an inordinate amount of time. You can see my work on my Author Page on : So this week, I have published four books in both print and e-book, across just about every e-book publishing platform you can think of. And while I was at it, I decided it was a good time to redesign the cover of Trespass, and so I also redesigned the cover of the free Darkeningstone novella, Breaking Ground, which also got a reformat. But I persevered, and Outcast is now out for pre-orders at the special price of $1.99 or £1.49. That wouldn’t have been such a Herculean task except that it clashed with my planned launch of the second full-length novel in the Darkeningstone series, Outcast. To celebrate their rerelease into an unsuspecting world, I’ve reduced the price of both books so that they are both $.99 or 99p each. The reason that the podcast is late this week is because I have been busily republishing the books I’ve spent the last couple of weeks formatting.įollowing the collapse of my publisher, Booktrope, I have now successfully republished the first book in the Darkeningstone series, Trespass, and my collection of short dark stories, A Dark Assortment.
