eBook Publishing 

What is ebook publishing?  What does an ebook publisher do?

In traditional print publishing a publisher aims to publish a certain number of titles per year. The publisher contracts with a writer for the rights to publish a book, manages the design including the cover, illustrations etc, and manages the marketing and promotion of the book.

When it comes to your eBook, you have a number of publishing options:


1. You Can Self-Publish Your Ebook

You can publish the eBook yourself, compiling the written pages into an eBook, even obtaining an ISBN number, and selling it through your own web site. 

2. Ebook Publishers that "Meet You Half Way"

You can choose an eBook publisher who meets you half way.

One such publisher is BookLocker. They require you to deliver the eBook to them in its finished, compiled state. They will then provide the store, payment processing etc.

You have control over the eBook's price. You retain the rights to sell it elsewhere.  Royalties are good at up to 70%. 

3. Choose a Traditional Publisher

You could choose an ebook publisher who functions more like a traditional print publisher. They will typically set the price and take a more active role in marketing your book. Depending upon the publisher you may be able to retain the rights to sell your eBook elsewhere. 

4. Which Option Should You Choose?

Which way should you go? It really depends whether you have the time and motivation to get actively involved in marketing and promoting your own eBook. If you do then Options 1 and 2 above will probably work very well for you. They will also put more of the money from each copy in your pocket.

Ebook Graphics and Images

Using images within your ebooks will give them a more professional look. The best way is to use  Royalty Free images.

That doesn't mean free, by the way, it means "free of royalties". You still pay for a license to use the photos in your ebook, sometimes for less than $1 each!
