Happy Mother’s Day!


I’ve been taken out to breakfast and now I get to put my feet up and do my favorite things – blogging and reading. Yay! No laundry in my immediate future! Yay!

As I’ve written about before, I’ve recently published two books on Self-Publishing. One book is focused at my fellow Canadians, and one is more broadly focused at authors living in other countries (and yes, the country does matter!). I regularly interact with authors who struggle with technology. Let’s face it – the side of the brain that deals with creative things is the opposite side that deals with technical things. It makes sense that highly creative people struggle with technology.

I commonly hear comments about authors talking about self-publishing as a hugely technical task and certainly something that they couldn’t possibly do.


I don’t agree.


Are there technical tasks involved in self-publishing – yes. However, as technology changes with the years, these technical tasks become easier and easier to manage. Tools are created that turn what used to be a really complicated task into a matter of filling in a few boxes and clicking a button.


The topic of today’s post is how to conquer CreateSpace. CreateSpace is one of the places an author can upload a file to create a Print-On-Demand book. I prefer CreateSpace over KDP Print for a variety of reasons I talk about in the books.


To prove how straightforward it is to do this, I’ve created a video. This video is just over 17 minutes long and will walk you through the process from beginning to end. After watching this video, let me know if you think this is something that you are capable of doing.
