About the Book

Would you like to be a successful self-published author, selling millions of books? Would you like to promote your books on Oprah and all the late night talk shows? Would you like to finally quit your day job? This is NOT the book that will help you do all that. Not even close. This book is about publishing books as cheaply as possible, by doing most or all of the work yourself. There are many professionals offering services to self published authors, and if you use all of their services they might make more money from your book than you do. If that bugs you, this book is here to help. Self publishing a book is like doing a home improvement project. Some tasks are better done by a professional, and others can be done by anyone with a little knowledge and access to a good hardware store. The more work you do yourself the cheaper it will be, and the happier you will be with the results. The money you save you can spend on professionals for those parts of the job that really need them. Are you a self published author who wishes it was less expensive? This book is for you! In it you'll learn how to format e-books for all e-readers, including using professional touches like using style sheets and custom fonts. You'll learn about formatting the interior pages for a print-on-demand book using a template that does most of the work for you. You'll learn about creating professional looking book covers using free fonts, public domain art, and a free graphics program called The GIMP. You'll get professional results because you'll use the tools and techniques the professionals use. It doesn't matter what word processor you used to write your book, what OS your computer runs, or how old your computer is; my instructions will work for you, and you won't have to buy anything to make them work. That alone sets this book apart from every other book on this subject. Can you really get professional results by doing the work yourself? You won't know until you try!
About the Author: James Simmons has self published a lot of books, and they all look great. He started by writing two manuals for the One Laptop Per Child project, followed that with a well reviewed memoir about his wasted youth, then published his first science fiction novel. When that novel failed to be nominated for any major awards he decided to try something different: a twelve volume translation of the great Indian epic The Mahabharata using Kisari Mohan Ganguli's text and art from a Bengali edition, both in the public domain and only needing some elbow grease to make a really nice set of books. His second novel is in progress. While working on that he started corresponding with a fellow author who used professionals for all her publishing jobs. That convinced him that the world needed Format Your Own Damned Book And Save A Bundle. If your dreams of becoming a successful author have turned into a really expensive hobby, James Simmons can teach you how to make it a cheaper one.
