Should be very helpful for novice writers
I won a copy of this book, and am so glad I did! As a wannabe author that writes some in my spare time, this book motivated me to actually consider publication in the near future. This how-to book contains the tools needed, along with very exact useful information, to allow an author to self-publish with Amazon’s support. The illustrations provide a step-by-step approach which should be relatively easy to follow. Very helpful!

Easy to follow guide
Step by step, quick and easy guide. Everything is explained in clear way that even child can follow.
I didn't like the recommended software for graphic and if somebody has drawings skills, for sure is going to use better program.
But in general it's a good guide, that gives main idea, how publishing works.
Who knows, maybe I will publish my own book one day. It looks pretty easy.

Simply explained. Step by step introduction to publishing a paper back and e-book.
A much appreciated guide for a first-time author with basic technical skills. This L'il book has motivated me to self-publish. A great point of reference at every stage from conception to marketing. I thank you.

June 5, 2019I received this book through a Goodreads giveaway. I couldn't give an accurate review because it says that it is available for all kindles. I have a Kindle paperwhite and when I went to download it. My Kindle said it was not compatible for my Kindle.

Fun and Full of Info
I found this to be a fun and interesting book about how to self publish directly onto Amazon. It is geared more to someone writing a children’s book, but has some good information for any aspiring author.

Excellent and easy to understand.
Very easy to understand. I loved the pictures which add to the reader’s understanding. There is just the perfect amount of information on every page, so it’s not overwhelming.

If you have any interest at all at publishing a book, this book is clearly written as a step by step process. It includes photographs as well for those of us that appreciate the visual.
Good luck Ms. Konet on your next writing project and thank you!
