review 1: It's not the first time that I've read a Mark Coker's publication, I quite often refer to my Smashwords Style Guide (don't be fooled it's not just relevant to Smashwords), and therefore I was quite excited to find the time to read this one.Not just one off reads, they are useful over and over again to bone up. Full of words of wisdom, tips and tricks and examples of how his information has been successfully applied by others, his work is a must for anyone looking to publish, market and sell ebooks.As the Founder of Smashwords, he has proved he knows what he's talking about.I was particularly interested to see that he mentioned Shayne Parkinson, who has successfully managed to increase sales by offering the first in the series (Sentence of Marriage) as a free download in ho... moreoking the reader in to buy the remainder of the series. That is in fact what happened when I read it.He also mentioned Ruth Ann Nordin as somebody who offered An Inconvenient Marriage for free download, and the fact that some reads didn't like it, but others liked her work enough to actively seek out and pay for other titles she'd written. It's a long time ago now, but I think I was particularly kind about her book, but saw something in her that has made me purchase some of here other titles.After reading his book, I now feel totally vindicated about banging on endlessly about cover images ..... get a good one and it will help to generate interest from somebody who has never read anything by you before!!Rating:On the basis that I started it quite late in the evening and then couldn't put it down until the early hours - always hard to believe for a non-fiction book - plus the wisdom and insight to be gained I gave it a the full big Five-O ... it can be useful even if you don't use, or never intend to use Smashwords. Highly recommended.
review 2: At the beginning I mistakenly thought that an indie writer was someone from India writing a book. Finally I got it. And I did not see myself being an indie author until I read this book.I am an author and I have been published, self published, in the traditional paper world.There is a new Ebook economy growing rapidly with so much potential that any author should try to take advantage of this opportunity and jump into Ebook publishing.This book is a great source of information and wisdom to help any author to get the picture of the Ebook world as it is still today in mid 2013.There are so many helpful tips about Ebook publishing that involve not only distribution, but marketing and the importance of review and editing the manuscript, that makes reading this book a must.I am not giving it a 5 because of the style and because there are some repetitions, but still it is a wonderful peace of work. There is passion in it. Thank you Mark! less
