eBooks – make your own books!

eBooks Rock!

I'm passionate about eBooks. I started my career in magazines/books just before computers took over and completely changed the publishing industry. In the magazine house we designed by hand with little strips of text, tape lines and black & white images pasted down onto impositions. These were later converted into film, plates, and printed on a Press at the printers. I loved all of it!

“If there's a book that you want to read, but it hasn't been written yet, then you must write it.” 
― Toni Morrison

Now anyone can make a book on their own computer with a wide range of software or Apps. These digital books or eBooks can then be printed, or distributed via email or to eReaders (like Amazon's Kindle). And it's all easy and accessible – it can even be done for free.

“It’s not too late to write your best story.”
― Bryan Hutchinson

There's loads of options and scope for creativity and networking with others. Including: just write the text, or design a cover and images, make a designed PDF booklet, make a simple Amazon novel, create a promotional booklet and offer it on your website, or make an interactive booklet (where you can hear the pages turning!)

“We write to taste life twice, in the moment and in retrospect.”
― Anaïs Nin

To me the most exciting part is that you can self publish your eBook then get an ISBN and have your book in the National Library of New Zealand - all for free, and what fun!
