This is not to understate the hard work that authors have to go through to get recognition, write great books, and make a full time living from their passion of expression. However, it is to say that today, due to advances in communications technology, authors can now get their books distributed much easier than they could a decade ago. One very popular way that authors are distributing their work is digitally through ebooks. Digital books are gaining so much popularity that even some of the most popular authors in the world have used it to distribute their books. Stephen King for example published “Riding the Bullet” exclusively in ebook format. When this ebook began distribution over Barns and Nobel and Amazon.com there was so much demand for the download that the servers of these two book giants slowed down almost to a halt. People that wanted to download the ebook were put in a large queue with the hundreds of thousands of other who downloaded the ebook as well. info@proofpostive.com (John R.)

And it must have a top agent and publisher. Maybe true five-ten years ago. Like you, I believed it at first and went down that rocky road to get an agent, then publisher. Way too hard and took way too long. info@proofpostive.com (Judy Cullins) Thu, 19 Jan 2006 00:00:00 -0600 http://proofpositive.com/articles/203/1/Ebooks-are-Promotional-Powerhouses/Page1.html The publishing industry, I hope, does not intend to forever banish the printed word to the dustbin of history. Books in print have their own special qualities and merits, and the world would be diminished by their disappearance. info@proofpostive.com (Matthew Tibble.)

Here's where things sometimes turn somewhat difficult if the author and the marketeer are one and the same person, and here's where we have to be cautious and take the right steps in the right order, so we might stay on track. info@proofpostive.com (Silvia Hartmann) Thu, 19 Jan 2006 00:00:00 -0600 http://proofpositive.com/articles/198/1/Why-Write-an-eBook/Page1.html The fact is that this is the perfect time to write an ebook. What the publishing industry needs are people who can tap into the world as it is today - innovative thinkers who can make the leap into the new millennium and figure out how to solve old problems in a new way. Ebooks are a new and powerful tool for original thinkers with fresh ideas to disseminate information to the millions of people who are struggling to figure out how to do a plethora of different things. info@proofpostive.com (kevin king) Thu, 19 Jan 2006 00:00:00 -0600 http://proofpositive.com/articles/197/1/Ebooks-are-Promotional-Powerhouses/Page1.html Ebooks are part of the new frontier of cyberspace. They are an entirely new medium for sharing marketing information, ideas, techniques, and expert knowledge.

It's obvious why electronic self-publishing has become so popular so quickly. info@proofpostive.com ( philip kuster) Thu, 19 Jan 2006 00:00:00 -0600 http://proofpositive.com/articles/196/1/Steps-to-Publishing-Success/Page1.html First, you have to write a quality book that has a clear target audience. And your book must answer a common problem or need that audience shares. Then you have to develop a marketing plan, and stick to it for at least two years. info@proofpostive.com (William R. Nabaza.)

Yet all the amazing stories of great success in the past pale when compared to what has happened online already and what is to happen in the days, months and years to come. info@proofpostive.com (Christopher Kyalo.)
