It is written by Christopher Fielden, an author who has published all his books through Amazon and CreateSpace and runs a popular writing blog that offers lots of free resources for short story and fiction writers.
Chris gives practical advice and talks candidly about his real-life experiences with self-publishing. He includes details of how to price your book, how much money you can expect to make by selling it and gives his expert opinion on the different decisions you will have to make while creating your book.
Chris also talks about the pros and cons of using Amazon and CreateSpace to create, publish and distribute your books.
Why The Book Was Originally Written The book was originally written as a post for Matthew Woodward's award winning internet marketing blog.
Matthew asked Chris to write a post about publishing books on Amazon for his audience. To do this, Chris had to go through the publication process to create examples readers could learn from. So this book was created for that reason. It is offered at a cheap price as it was not originally created to make money - just to be an informative resource for other writers and entrepreneurs to learn from.
