Are there any preliminary steps in writing your own e-book?
If there are any, what tips/advice can you give for beginners like me, who would like to write and publish her own e-book in the future?
Just remember these steps - 1 Write a good bok (most important), 2 Edit it 3 Format it 4 Distribute it 5 Tell people about your book and hope for the best.
Your first step is to identify what will make your book attractive to readers. You need to think of a unique take on the subject you are writing about or it won't be worth reading. Also, developing a strong and interesting main character is key. In my opinion, a dynamic, flawed character is the most important part of a story. Start by writing about the character (this will not be part of the book) so that you know who they are before you start putting them in situations in which you don't know how they will react.
I think you must be write informative content. While writing an e book one must consider the content. It should be concise and to the point.

Obviously hubpages is affected by this, and while I have the greatest of respect for Paul and Robin, it's discouraging for me.I haven't written anything...
