A “Like” at my Amazon Author Page as well as any other follows or likes you can give me at Goodreads or Google+ would be appreciated. Better yet, buy one of my books and give me an honest review at Amazon! It would only take you a minute, and will mean a lot to me. If you are an author, and have done so, drop me a line – I follow back!

Basic HTML for Creating an eBook

HTML you say? Don’t let that scare you. It’s not difficult. It may surprise you to know that an eBook in the form that goes on Kindle and other readers is little more than a webpage. Now once you get it in your webpage there are some things you will need to do in order to get from HTML to ePub. But once you do, if you do it right, you will be able to use one file to publish to all platforms – Kindle, Nook, even iTunes iBooks. You can view and copy the style sheet page from the video here. And you can also view the formatted and finished eBook used in the video here.

Formatting Page Numbers, Headers and Footers

Getting page numbers formatted properly and learning to format the headers and footers right can be a real pain for someone who like me was not a word processing guru. Hopefully, I can save you a few headaches. I have created this video for that particular part of the book creation process. If the response warrants it, I will follow up with more. Again, this is for authors who are publishing for paperback or hardcover format. You can view the Page numbering format cheat sheet from the video here. You can download Notepad++ from their site at this link.
