The Indie Author's Two-Step Guide to Publishing in the Kindle Store
The realistic chances of someone getting their book published through an agent and a publishing house are about 1 in 1,000; pretty steep odds.
But times are changing and with them the publishing world is changing too.
As more people turn to the internet and reading devices such as the Kindle, ebooks are going to become very popular.
So if you want to get an ebook published, then you need to read Out Standing In the Field: The Indie Author's Two-Step Guide to Publishing in the Kindle Store.
Though the name is long, Out Standing In The Field: The Indie Author's Two-Step Guide to Publishing in the Kindle Store is quite simple. The name is the most complicated aspect of the book. It is simply a self-help book designed to teach new authors the concepts behind ebooks. It can help these authors get a toehold into the world of publishing with major ebook distributors.
This self-help guide is a bit problematic though. Yes, it does have a play on words with "Out Standing" and having a picture of a field of grass on the cover but also meaning that it is "outstanding" in its ability to help indie writers. But is that really enough to get you to purchase the book?
The problem arises in the form of talent. The book rarely touches on the fact that regardless of whether the book is in print or on a screen…talent is still the root core of any author. If you are not a talented writer, then you are not going to sell many copies of your book. Even if it is an ebook and even if it is only a few dollars.
For indie writers who are having trouble breaking into the traditional market, this book could be their salvation though. It does teach unpublished writers how to create ebooks and get them out onto the internet. That is very important and could eventually lead to a traditional publishing contract, should the sales get noticed by an agent or a publishing house.
Will Out Standing In The Field: The Indie Author's Two-Step Guide to Publishing in the Kindle Store guarantee that you will sell millions of copies of your e-book?
No, it cannot do that. It can however introduce you to a new side of publishing and teach you some of the tricks to getting your e-book noticed.
Whether or not you eventually become a famous writer is completely in your hands and in your ability to write. This book just points you down the right path.
