Taking The 'Tech' Out Of Self-Publishing

June 30, 2011 - PRLog -- Take out the 'Tech'

Ezeebooks UK is Taking the ‘Tech’ out of publishing for new authors.

Million selling ebook authors have been hitting the headlines recently, but many aspiring authors are put off by the ‘tech’ knowledge required to self-publish, the process of obtaining ISBNs (at least twelve at a time) and the costs of making their publications known to the trade. The best Print-on-Demand (“POD”) printers are stringent in their technical requirements for book covers, and the interior layout is critical to costs. Without care in design, making a profit on a short-run 350 page novel is a real challenge. Writers want to write!

Ezeebooks UK is offering a service to make this easy for new authors, and ‘Take the Tech’ out of self-publishing.

New Market

Nowadays, a novel can be delivered to the market in a matter of days compared with two years using the traditional process (if an author can find an agent and publisher). This very short time-scale offers a significant advantage and opens a new market for the contemporaneous story.

James Marinero’s new novel 'Gate of Tears', http://www.gateoftears.com, is a case in point.

Politically bang up to the minute, the story reflects very recent changes in Britain’s defence strategy, regime change in North Africa and the Middle East, and the rapidly increasing influence of China – its industry, naval power and intelligence gathering. ‘Gate of Tears’ projects naval and aerial technology, and developments in genetics, into the next decade, with a plot to destabilise the international gold market at its core.

Novels Can Be Really Topical

So, novels can be really topical and contemporary. For example, Tunisia’s revolution, the Yemen riots and Osama bin Laden’s death are woven into the tale.
