With</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> </span><strong style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><a data-mce-href="https://www.whitemagicstudios.co.uk/amazon-publishing-services" href="https://www.whitemagicstudios.co.uk/amazon-publishing-services">Amazon publishing UK</a></strong><span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">, a very powerful engine allows you to publish any type of book that you can then convert to hardbound or paperback books, as well as ebooks compatible with computers and e-readers.</span></p><p style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It is not that difficult to <strong><a data-mce-href="https://www.whitemagicstudios.co.uk/ebook-conversion" href="https://www.whitemagicstudios.co.uk/ebook-conversion">convert book to ebook</a></strong> or publish on Amazon. This guide will help you do this with little problems encountered.</p><p style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong>Create a Kindle Account</strong></p><p style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong>The</strong> first step you need to start publishing to take is to create a KDP, or Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing, account. Just follow the steps in the prompts.</p><p style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">You just have to provide a username and password that is secure and eay to remember. Also, some personal information is also needed to complete your registration into the Amazon KDP program.</p><p style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong>Set Up Your EBook Details</strong></p><p style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Once your account has been set up, you would need to add your book. The site will ask for information such as the title, language, author name, and your book description, among others.</p><p style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">You will also need to enter publishing rights, as well categories, tags, and age group targets.</p><p style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">These last three bits of information are very necessary as they will help your book reach your potential readers and make them easily searchable.</p><p style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">You can also set DRM rights for your book. DRM rights ensure that your books cannot be copied and sent to other people. However, it can be lent. This will help prevent piracy of your book so we recommend that you activate this feature.</p><p style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong>Upload Your Book</strong></p><p style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">You need to upload your book so that it can be converted. The system accepts document or PDF formats. It can also accept documents with images.</p><p style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Some illustrations and artwork are good for your book so it would look more pleasing and easier to read. This is particularly true for books geared more towards children.</p><p style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">To enhance the look of your book before uploading, there are <strong><a data-mce-href="https://www.whitemagicstudios.co.uk/children-book-illustrator" href="https://www.whitemagicstudios.co.uk/children-book-illustrator">children’s illustrator for hire</a></strong> that can help give your book more personality and appeal.</p><p style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Make sure that your book is converted properly. Some authors suggest that you convert your document first into an epub file before you upload it so that formatting would be better.</p><p style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It is also here where you would upload your book cover. The more professionally-made, the better. Freelancers provide cheap services so that you can have illustrated books that are more attractive and can sell better.</p><p style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">After settings preferences and other information, you can proceed to the next step to publishing your book.</p><p style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong>Set Up Your Pricing</strong></p><p style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In this next section, you will set how much your book will go for. Royalty settings are needed, too, so you know how much goes to you and how much goes to Amazon for every book of yours that gets sold.</p><p style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Here, you will also be able to set up if you would allow lending for your book. In some cases, this is a requirement especially if you want higher royalty figures.</p><p style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">If everything is ready and set up, then congratulations! Ready to publish now?</p><p style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong>Publish Your Book</strong></p><p style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Once everything is ready, you have the option to publish as an ebook format like epub or mobi ,or as a paperback. The latter is very easy as the bulk of the work has already been accomplished.</p><p style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Once published, your ebook can now be available on the territories that you have selected, and it would also be searchable on the Amazon eBooks page.</p><p style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Publishing actual books can be a bit more complicated, and while you can hire a <strong><a data-mce-href="https://www.whitemagicstudios.co.uk/self-publishing" href="https://www.whitemagicstudios.co.uk/self-publishing">self-publishing company UK</a></strong>, doing it through Amazon can be more convenient in some cases.</p><p style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Publishing physical books will also take some time and cost a lot more, but it has benefits that ebooks cannot be able to provide.</p><p style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">There are different advantages and disadvantages of either format, but going with either or both will definitely not hurt if you want to reach the widest market possible.</p><p style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Get your website ranked by one of the leading <strong><a data-mce-href="https://ebrandist.com/" href="https://ebrandist.com/">SEO agencies in Delhi</a></strong> and receive a free PCC audit from <strong><a data-mce-href="https://www.ppcmarketingconsultant.com/" href="https://www.ppcmarketingconsultant.com/">PPC Consultants</a></strong>.</p>Whitemagicstudioshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11251300406786806831noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1819048686608537581.post-84810498157469400742023-10-29T04:14:00.002-07:002023-10-29T04:14:21.839-07:00Book Conversion to Ebooks - Are Ebooks Worth It?<p> <span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Ebooks are all the rage these days, and many of the popular literature from world-renowned authors undergo</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> </span><strong style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><a data-mce-href="https://www.whitemagicstudios.co.uk/ebook-conversion" href="https://www.whitemagicstudios.co.uk/ebook-conversion">book conversion to ebooks</a></strong><span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">to take advantage of this trend.</span></p><p style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The past decade saw a steep rise in ebook purchases, and it is not showing any signs of stopping soon. While statistics do not signify a consistently upward trend, it is definite proof that ebooks are here to stay.</p><p style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">There are many reasons as to why ebooks have become more popular. This is also why many new or wannabe authors utilize <strong><a data-mce-href="https://www.whitemagicstudios.co.uk/kindle-publishing-services" href="https://www.whitemagicstudios.co.uk/kindle-publishing-services">Kindle book publishing</a></strong> to be able to easily market their books in ebook format.</p><p style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">First and foremost, ebooks are much more portable than actual books. A kindle can hold thousands of books and takes up less space than an iPad. A book collection, on the other hand, can easily take up an entire wall of your home.</p><p style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Ebooks are also cheaper and definitely more portable. It is also very accessible as you can simply log onto the Amazon store and pick any book that you want.</p><p style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This is definitely the easier route compared to physically going to a bookstore and then finding out that the book that you want is not in stock.</p><p style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Still, there is still a certain charm that actual soft or hardbound books have. This is why actual books will not go out of style. Even new authors trying to break into the business still utilize <strong><a data-mce-href="https://www.whitemagicstudios.co.uk/self-publishing" href="https://www.whitemagicstudios.co.uk/self-publishing">self publishing book UK</a></strong> so that they can still reach bookshelves and actually have a product that you can hold.</p><p style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong><a data-mce-href="https://www.whitemagicstudios.co.uk/amazon-publishing-services" href="https://www.whitemagicstudios.co.uk/amazon-publishing-services">Amazon book publishing services</a></strong> allow for both physical books and ebooks.

Both have their pros and cons but either format will be able to give you the information or entertainment that you need.</p><p style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Get your website ranked by one of the leading <strong><a data-mce-href="https://ebrandist.com/seo-services/" href="https://ebrandist.com/seo-services/">SEO agencies in Delhi</a></strong> and receive a free PCC audit from <strong><a data-mce-href="https://www.ppcmarketingconsultant.com/" href="https://www.ppcmarketingconsultant.com/">PPC Consultants</a></strong>.</p>Whitemagicstudioshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11251300406786806831noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1819048686608537581.post-31190233550895617862023-07-08T19:01:00.001-07:002023-07-08T19:01:09.884-07:00The latest trends in the self-publishing book industry<p> <span style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Are you still doubtful of your decision to self-publish your newly completed manuscript?

You don’t have to get approval from a traditional publisher or worry about the potential financial risk.</p><p style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Authors who want to maintain creative control: Self-publishing allows authors to maintain complete creative control over their work, from cover design to marketing. <strong><a data-mce-href="https://www.whitemagicstudios.co.uk/book-illustration-services" href="https://www.whitemagicstudios.co.uk/book-illustration-services">Hire book illustrators</a></strong> for attractive covers.</p><p style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As the self-publishing industry is growing, several trends are shaping its future. Here-</p><p style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong>Let’s explore some of the latest trends in self-publishing in different models and what they mean for you as authors, publishers, and readers.</strong></p><p style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Hybrid Publishing</p><p style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Hybrid publishing blends traditional and self-publishing methods together. Here, a publisher will offer some services- which traditional publishers provide, such as editing and marketing. They still enable you (authors) to maintain control over your work.</p><p style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Hybrid publishing is popular with authors who want the best of both worlds. It is expected to grow in 2023 as well. Some benefits of hybrid publishing include greater access to distribution channels, access to professional editing and marketing services, and the ability to retain creative control over their work.</p><p style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Subscription Models</p><p style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Subscription models allows your readers to pay a monthly fee to access a library of books. This is a more cost-effective option for avid readers.</p><p style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Some indie publishers are adopting subscription models to reach new readers. This allows them to generate consistent income. This is especially beneficial for new authors who are still building their reader base.</p><p style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Niche Markets</p><p style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">One of the benefits of self-publishing is the ability to cater to niche markets and readers with specific interests. Indie publishers focus on niche markets, such as LGBTQ+ romance or non-fiction books with uncommon topics.</p><p style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">By targeting niche markets, indie publishers can reach readers passionate about a particular topic/genre and create a loyal following of readers. Self-publishers differ from traditional publishers because traditional ones generally focus on broader and more common markets and topics.</p><p style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Audiobooks</p><p style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">You can reach new audiences who prefer audiobooks over traditional print or digital formats. Indie publishers are investing in new technology to improve the audio book experience.</p><p style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Additionally, producing audio books can be a cost-effective way for indie publishers to reach new readers and generate additional revenue.</p><p style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Author Collaborations</p><p style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Collaborating with other authors has become a popular trend in the self-publishing industry. You can create anthologies or box sets of books. This is a more cost-effective way to reach new readers and generate more revenue.</p><p style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Author collaborations can also help you to build a community of writers where you can support each other and promote each other’s work. This can be especially beneficial for new authors who want to grow their reader base and establish themselves in the industry.</p><p style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Social Media Marketing</p><p style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Social media has become an inseparable tool for indie publishers to promote their books and reach new readers. Indie publishers use social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram to build their brands and engage with readers.</p><p style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Use social media marketing to reach a wider audience and build a following of loyal readers. Social media marketing is a cost-effective way to generate sales.</p><p style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">You can choose to self-publish if the benefits attract you. Use the services of professional publishers such as <strong><a data-mce-href="https://www.whitemagicstudios.co.uk/" href="https://www.whitemagicstudios.co.uk/">White Magic Studios</a></strong> to provide you with all sorts of publishing support.

The emotions felt by the characters should be felt by the audience; as if they are enjoying in a movie-hall from the front row.</li><li>Do not put too many words (Adverbs & Adjectives) to explain the situation. It will rather put-off the reader. Also, avoid naming the characters repeatedly in dialogues so that the book is more real life-like.</li><li>Make the dialogue as natural as possible by adding descriptions in a natural way.
