Basic HTML for Kindle Publishers
I wrote an e-book explaining how to format your manuscript in HTML for easy upload to Kindle Direct Publishing. This is sort of a quick and dirty tutorial with links to information and a few screen shots to help you out. Don't let HTML scare you, it's one of the simplest programming languages on the planet. Because of the repetition you will use when formatting your book, I'm confident that you will find it easy to learn.
The most intense (and I use that word loosely) formatting you will do will be your first chapter, then it's repetition after that. Basically you can format a chapter with less than 20 HTML tags, so don't let it intimidate you. I would estimate that even a novice could code their manuscript in under 8 hours if it had a lot of images and links. If your manuscript is straight-up fiction or mainly text, it should take you a lot less time than that.
Keep coming back to ProWebWriter to learn more about self publishing through the various channels available to you. If you've ever considered self-publishing before, NOW is the time. If you've ever thought about writing e-books or even written a couple just throw out there and didn't have much success. NOW could be the time when your luck changes. E-books aren't just for people with money-making secrets anymore.
The world is slowly coming around to the idea of reading books in digital format. While I believe the novelty of the printed page is here for a long, long time, e-books are quickly becoming a hot commodity. E-Readers like Kindle and Nook are seeing phenomenal sales because digital books benefit the the reader's pocketbook with deep discounts on all kinds of books.
