PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
COLIN DUNBAR is an expert technical writer with 39+ years' experience, as well as an indie author with five self-published books to his name, and more to come. After following the regular career path, he started his own corporation and ran it for five years, after which he decided to sell. In 1990/91 he wrote the draft of his first book, Profile of the Technical Writing Profession, and tried publishing it the traditional route. Due to a lack in demand for this type of book, according to the literary agent, it did not see the light of day. In 2004 Colin self-published his book, Invest In Yourself, and soon after he started an online business, running his website and self-publishing his second book, Get What You Want. As he gained experience, in 2007 he accepted a virtual contractor position with SiteSell, Inc. (Canadian based company). His responsibilities in this position included the writing of material for use on SiteSell's sites, as well as in their online publications. He was also responsible for proofreading and doing online research. For the years 2007 to 2014, Colin offered an e-cover design service (designing a total of 198 e-covers). From 2009 to 2014, he also offered a book design service (which included copyediting, proofreading, etc.), completing 99 book and ebook designs. All services were offered online via his personal website, www.ColinDunbar.com. In 2011, he launched a self-publishing website, and in 2014, due to time constraints, closed it down to focus all his attention on writing his series of books.
Every aspiring writer who wants to self-publish their book will find this volume a gold mine of steps, tricks, and techniques for the formatting of ebooks and paper books. And even if you don't plan to do your own book formatting, there is a wealth of knowledge to be had by reading this book. - Penny Sansevieri, CEO and Founder, Author Marketing Experts, Inc.
