Brunch and LearneVolution is part of your publishing empire. It has to be. Like a menu in a restaurant, eBooks are something that you should create when you create your print book. Or create an eBook, than maybe, create a print book. Then there’s an “a” book—audio.

eBooks now amount to 25 percent of all book sales… and there are strong indications of a flattening of the market with a cross over now to tablets … yet many eBooks can’t be read on a tablet and many tablet books can’t be read on eReaders, like Kindle and Nook. What’s an author to do?

Designer Nick Zelinger will walk you through the step-by-step process; how and why you need to think differently for your covers; what venues you should use to upload and broadcast and so much more. There’s lots to learn and you will get the visuals and the how-tos to make your “e” empire rock and roll.

At this Brunch & Learn, you will come away with:

  • The How-tos of eBook formatting … what works and what definitely doesn’t.
  • The differences between “fixed” formats and “flexible” formats and when you should use them.
  • What works in a standard eBook and what doesn’t.
  • How to include art, tables, graphics.
  • Why “e” covers need a twist.
  • The ins and outs of Amazon’s KDP program.
  • Strategies to market your “e” product line.
