Just released a 69 page preview of my Self Publishing Handbook
The book is due out in May, 2013. It will be called:
Practical Professional Self Publishing Handbook
The book is written for those authors who recognize that professional production is key to having their books taken seriously. They are also tired of paying hundreds or thousands of dollars every time they release a book. In addition, they are sick of the need to be constantly contacting their designer to get special previews, gift editions, updates, and all the rest of the normal things that go with self publishing a book.
Like it or not, this means you learn InDesign
This book will teach you how to do that.
Go check it out!
Already released portions of the book [edited and updated in the new book]
- Graphics In InDesign: an excerpt from “Practical Professional Self Publishing Handbook” (bergsland.org)
- A Christian Self Publishing Guide To Sell Books & Ebooks Online
I started reading your book preview. It looks like it might be what I’m looking for. One thing caught my eye: On page 14 you say, “You an alo look or a slightly old version of The Adobe’s Creative Suite (CS4 or better), and just upgrade InDesign.”
When I recently tried to update just one program in CS4 to CS6, Adobe said that it wasn’t their policy to do that.
If you own the software with a serial number, you can buy an upgrade to certain versions. I’m not sure how far back you can go for CS6. http://www.adobe.com/products/indesign/buying-guide-upgrades.html
Here it says you can only upgrade CS5 or CS5.5 to CS6. They’ve tightened things up a lot now that they are focusing on the Creative Cloud.
I’ll change the copy. I imagine everything will change again when the new version comes out???
You can upgrade from CS3 or better to the Cloud for $29.99 a month for a year.https://creativecloud-specialoffer.adobe.com/special-offer/?loc=en_US&cc=us
