Self Publishing Made Even Easier - Bookbrewer. Com

The beta version of the best self publishing tool ever has just been launched... BookBrewer. It allows anyone to  easily create and distribute an eBook, complete with cover, ISBN and  a place on the virtual shelves of online booksellers. BookBrewer rocks because it is SO simple, and we're making it even simpler.

There are two ways to get your content into our system.

1. Blog.

If you have a blog filled with your content, you can simply  paste the feed address of your blog into our BookBrewer site and  click import. That imports ALL of the content from your blog and  puts it into a list on the BookBrewer site. After that, just click  ADD next to the content you want in your book, and that content is  added to an outline of your book. Arrange and rearrange your content  into chapters simply by dragging and dropping the stories. You're  basically building the table of contents, which in turn builds the  book. You can even edit the imported blog entries right there (even  adding photos inline, if you like) without changing your original  content and without ever leaving that page.

2. Copy/Paste.

If you already have your content as a Word doc or  other text file, you can simply copy/paste your manuscript into the  system, add images where you'd like, and click save. The rest works  the same as in example #1.

Then it's simply a matter of clicking PUBLISH and... it's done.   :)

The resulting eBook can be read on the iPhone, iPad, Kindle or any  of the growing number of eReader devices out there.

Okay, that's VERY cool... but what else?

Covers:

You can either upload your cover art or our professional  designer can design a cover for you. In the future, you will be able  to design your own cover on our site. (I've been a designer for more  than 20 years.)

ISBN:

The basic cost of creating your eBook will include securing of  an ISBN for your book. Though we aren't settled on pricing yet, we  know that basic eBook creation including ISBN will be cheaper than  if you bought an ISBN on your own.

Print:

In the future, we may partner with print-on-demand providers  so that you can create your print book at the same time that you are  creating your eBook.

Other services we will be offer through our network include editing,  marketing, and professional reviews.

To summarize, this tool allows authors get published quickly, and to  get their eBooks into major online booksellers at a very low cost.  We're very excited, as are those involved in our testing. The level  of interest is huge, as you can imagine.

We'd like you and your readers to come and try out BookBrewer!

Create your profile at http://www.bookbrewer.com and we'll get you  set up as a beta tester, and please feel free to invite your readers  to do the same!

If you've read this far, you probably realize what a tectonic shift  this is going to be in the world of self-publishing and eBooks.

Anyone can sign up to be a beta tester at http://www.bookbrewer.com
