Indie Writer - The Rise of the Independent Author

Since Amazon's Kindle made it simple for independent authors and
publishers to place their books in the Kindle Store, the future of
self-publishing has never looked brighter.

As Ebook Readers rise in popularity, so will the market for
self-published ebooks. Print on demand is a great option for some,
but the real bread and butter of most Indie Writers is in selling their
books online.

Self-publishing on a site like Amazon Kindle, Lulu, or Smashwords
is simple, really. The hardest part is formatting your book to their
standards (which is not really hard at all if you know how to use
Microsoft Word) and making a cover to display with your book.

The links below will give you some guidelines as to some of the best
ways to format your books for ebook readers, as well as how to
make or design a cover for your book.
