Just Released: Self-Publish Your E-Book in Minutes!

Tuesday, June 29th, 2010

I’m delighted to announce the electronic publication of my latest how-to primer. This time, I tackled electronic self-publishing with Self-Publish Your E-Book in Minutes!.

I jumped on the digital wagon last year by re-publishing my mysteries as e-books. Soon, I began instructing others—many had failed with traditional publishers or were wary of costly Print on Demand—at a Victoria, B.C., college.

Self-Publish Your E-Book in Minutes by Nicola Furlong

I immediately found the demand far exceeded my eager students and concluded that a practical, simple and affordable how-to primer on electronic publishing was needed.

Thus, Self-Publish Your E-Book in Minutes! was born.

It’s brief, practical and succinctly covers all the essentials of electronic publication, like formatting, uploading and marketing, and is available online at Amazon.com and Smashwords.com for $0.99.

How to Publish an Ebook on the iPhone

Friday, November 20th, 2009

As part of my ongoing quest to list my ebooks on as many online bookselling sites as possible, I was thrilled to have the opportunity to see my work available earlier this year on the iPhone via the App Store at iTunes.com.

Though the iPhone isn’t billed as an e-reader, its screen is amazingly clear and this ‘coolest gadget on earth’ is used by many to read a vast array of books, articles and papers. A lot of folks are waiting for Apple’s entry into the ebook reading business, the so-called Apple Tablet, but until then, the iPhone does the job very nicely.

My ebooks arrived onto the iPhone after I read an interview with Tom Peck where he described how his nifty company, Appengines.com, was producing ebooks for the iPhone and iPod Touch by creating them as individual apps and selling them through the App Store.

Tom agreed to carry my titles and with a minimum of fuss, they were up and live on iTunes. Unfortunately for the rest of you authors, Appengines’ focus is now beyond ebooks and they are creating all sorts of neat new apps.

I was fortunate and got in early and my titles continue to sell happily on iTunes.com.
