Title: Anyone Publish On-line? Post by: murfvol on July 10, 2013, 11:00:29 EDT Has anyone here published stuff on-line? If so, what do I need to know? I'm tempted to go with Amazon's Kindle Publishing. Is there any reason not to?

I'm an expert at few things, and Kindle publishing certainly isn't one of them. :laugh: Seriously, without knowing what kind of work you're looking to publish and what your intended audience is, I might suggest you look at BookBaby or Smashwords. I've heard nothing but good things about both. Not that Kindle Publishing won't work, but one of those might be a preferred alternative if you're looking for a broader approach.

They wllk likely what to make a book exclusive to them, which limits you. Do some research and cost comparisons.

This is my thinking. I initially offer it on Amazon to give a faux air of legitimacy and then once the exclusivity is up move to Smashwords. Any problems with that. Title: Re: Anyone Publish On-line?

I have been told it's the future of publishing, publishing on - line. If I ever finish my next book, I likely will go that route. Title: Re: Anyone Publish On-line?
