A extended time ago, on a desktop far, far away... Who hasn't dreamed of not only writing their personal book, but seeing it in print on Amazon.com, possessing a copy for their bookshelf, getting 'five copies for my mother?'  Effectively, now you can do it for a $99 fee and some cybernetic elbow grease. This page will show you how I did it, and probabilities are you can do it also. I've been studying for a number of years about Print On Demand, the nifty new techology where you put in PDF files on one particular end (One for the cover, 1 for the insides) and a lovely, excellent-bound, bookstore-good quality book comes out the other. I've even noticed the technology in action at an document imaging tradeshow (that's my profession, by the way.) I've recognized other men and women who have employed Print On Demand (POD) as a way to self-publish, such as my own father. My problem with that is I have no space in my garage for books, I do not want to get involved in the procedure of promoting and shipping books, handling returns, etc. tour importing and exporting business All of a sudden, whilst Googling something a week ago, I stumbled on some great Goo. Amazon, the on the web bookstore, has absorbed a POD publisher named BookSurge, making it a separate Amazon division. Now I could take my book project, upload it to Amazon/BookSurge, spend a fee, and VOILA! my book is on Amazon for every person to get. It ships within 48 hours, BookSurge pays me a 25% royalty within 60 days, I can even purchase five copies for my mother at a discount! I emailed BookSurge and was assigned an account manager, who I will contact Joseph (since his name is Joseph). I inquired about the details of publishing a book. For $599 I could get the hand-holding, send us your manuscript version of the publishing, or if I was brave, courageous, and could format my personal PDFs, for $99 I could use the Author's Express system to upload my book projects. import export business information Because my book creation project was designed to be the forerunner of a lot of more titles, $99 seemed like the way to go. I ran all more than the internet site, downloading instance PDFs, submission guidelines, and anything at all else I could locate. The internet site recomends utilizing Adobe -a thing or yet another- for text formating, and Adobe Acrobat 6 (not 7!) for PDF creation. I decided from the git-go that Microsoft Word and PDF Factory Pro would have to function for me, because that is what I had on my desktop, and I do not want to invest weeks studying but one more desktop publishing application, despite the fact that I am confident it is a excellent 1. Besides, I was currently thinking about writing this page, and I wanted to come up with a process most anybody would be comfy with. The only genuine shortcut I took is that my cover is plain text, with no pictures on it. I figured my 1st book is going to sell mostly if not completely on Amazon, and a pretty cover is not that critical there. In any case, I can usually go back and upgrade my edition (The extra fee for resubmitting either the interior or the cover is $50, as soon as the book is published.) import export information Sample files and a complete step by step description of how I formatted and published my 3 books (so far!) is at www.actasif.com/bookproject
