Honestly, I’m so amazed by the things we can do these
days!
I’ve had a story I wanted to tell – a true story – floating around in my head
for years, but haven’t done so because I knew it would take forever to go
through the traditional process of finding an agent and then waiting until he
or she found a publisher who might want to have a look at my book. I knew there
would be rejections. Many. And I knew I’d get discouraged. I’ve been told
the whole procedure can take years and that a good number of people get frustrated and give up
somewhere along the way.
This is the way the publishing business has been for
many years. Only a select few are good enough or have the stamina to stay with
it until his/her book is published. Who knows how many good books have fallen
by the wayside?
Enter Amazon’s Kindle Direct Publishing: The greatest
thing since sliced bread!
When I decided to check it out, I ordered a couple of
books – one was free and the other was ninety-nine cents – that led me, step by
step, through the process of preparing my manuscript for publication and then
adding a cover. It was easy, fun and some claim it has been lucrative for them.
I guess I won’t know that for a while, but I can attest to the fact that it was
simple to do and enjoyable.
And if you think this is not for you because you don’t
have a Kindle, scratch that idea, too. With a free download, Amazon has made it
possible to read Kindle books on almost any device. Here’s where you can check
that out for yourself: http://www.amazon.com/gp/feature.html/ref=sa_menu_karl/189-3902047-9204758?ie=UTF8&docId=1000493771
If you’d like to have a look at my new Kindle eBook, you can

And then you might want to start on one of your own! Good luck!
