Indie author tips & tricks: Converting your document to Kindle format
What do you do when your father of a certain age asks for help getting his novel loaded onto Amazon Kindle? Well, my Dad is youthful for his age – he leaps up the spiral staircase like a gazelle, leaving me panting like a wounded warthog. However, let’s face it, he would be referred to in polite circles as a “Silver Surfer” (sorry Dad).
The idea of spending hours at a computer, with Dad tearing out what remains of his hair, and muttering many “Hell’s teeth and claws” (a fantastic curse picked up from his wife) was unthinkable.
Only joking – we live a long way apart, so the idea of an idiot’s guide came about. This worked perfectly with only the odd bit of email support, and Dad had his book, The Talisman of Ictis, published very quickly.
Whatever your age, if you’d like some help getting your document formatted as a Kindle book and uploaded to Amazon, then here it is. I can’t promise there won’t be any “Hell’s teeth and claws” on the way, but you should be able to get your book published. Sales and Marketing? Well, that’s up to you!
