This ebook explains in straightforward, step-by-step instructions how to turn your book into an ebook and give it the best chance of being a bestseller: by first making sure that the manuscript itself is up to scratch, which involves including ‘hooks’ like readers’ names and recognizable places into your book; by starting straight away with useful information (for non-fiction) or an action scene (for fiction) that will capture the reader’s attention right from the outset; by adding depth to your characters; by choosing your words carefully, as some retailers will not stock books with too many expletives; and by giving your book added authenticity through scene description and by double-checking your facts, which will increase your chances for positive reviews. Once you have done these basics, the next step is to either have your book professionally proofread or proof it yourself following the standard UK grammatical rules and style guide set out in this ebook. This book also demystifies the tricky stage of typesetting your manuscript in preparation for publication, including page breaks, hard returns, spacing issues, special indentation and inserting images, all of which will ensure that the book translates cleanly and professionally when converted into ebook format. Finally, this book covers final steps, including writing an engaging synopsis and back cover blurb for your book (called ‘back matter’), and organizing the title and copyright pages with an active table of contents (called ‘front matter’). It also explains, in simple terms, the technical process of converting your book into an ebook and uploading it for sale on Amazon Kindle. ‘How to Publish and Sell your E-Book IN A DAY’ will help you produce professional ebooks that will appear high in Amazon’s search results and offer your ebook the widest readership possible.

"I found the journal at work. Well, I don't know if you'd call it work, but that's where I found it. It's the lost journal of Nikola Tesla, one of the greatest inventors and visionaries ever. Before he died in 1943, he kept a notebook filled with spectacular claims and outrageous plans. One of these plans was for an "Interdimensional Transfer Apparatus"--That allowed someone (in this case me and my friend Pete) to travel to other versions of the infinite dimensions that make up the multiverse. Crazy, right? But that's just where the crazy starts." [back cover].

It's the self-help book you've always wanted. The one that tells you're fine just the way you are - and that you can probably get away with doing even less. It sounds like a paradox, I know. But just look at the mighty sloth, who makes no excuses for who he is - and becomes everything he needs to be. And now it's your turn. Take a nap instead of mowing the lawn. Save yourself a few steps and jaywalk. Save yourself a few pen strokes and replace your signature with an X. Make life easier, and you'll find that you'll be just as lovable, productive or unproductive as you would've been anyway - but without all the unecessary stress and guilt. Now THAT'S what I call reaching your potential!
