Remember, your cover is your ebook’s first and best marketing asset. Once you’ve fine-tuned the text of your ebook, it’s time to package it with an equally polished cover. To learn more about hiring a professional to edit your text, read this post. Then bring in another pair of eyes - ideally, a trained editor who will leave your manuscript spotless.

Instead, put your manuscript away for a while, so you can come back refreshed enough to spot mistakes you missed on the last pass. But the convenience of ebook publishing has a downside: it’s all too easy to send your work out into the world before it’s ready.ĭon’t jump the gun and publish as soon as you type out the last sentence, or even as soon as you finish a thorough round of edits. This greased-lightning pace is exactly why so many indie authors prefer digital releases. An impatient writer can turn a draft into a bona fide ebook in under an hour and see it go up for sale the next day. Before you even think about publishing your ebook, you’ll want to make sure there’s not a comma out of place.Ī word of warning here: self-publishing an ebook is fast - so fast it can be dangerous. The point is, whether you’re self-publishing a fantasy novel or an actual cookbook, quality matters. If you want to entice them into reading your work, you’ll have to serve up something mouthwatering - prose that’s good down to the last drop. Readers might be hungrier for ebooks than ever before, but their appetites aren’t indiscriminate.
