About this ebook
There has been a surge in the self-publishing of books in the past few years. The advent of Kindle, Kobo and Barnes and Noble, to name by three of the digital marketplaces, has meant that just about anyone can write and publish a book which they can then upload and sell. And with other new ideas, like print on demand, you can see your book in a physical format without having to spend a fortune on it.
Proofreading, editing, designing a cover and not to mention promoting and advertising your work, are all essential elements. The sheer volume of work involved, once the budding author has researched it, can lead to a meltdown and an abandonment of the project.
Now, this new book by Lama Jabr - The Self-Publishing Tools of the Trade Every Author Must Know – sets out to help you navigate the treacherous route to making your self-published book a success.
Including chapters on;
- Researching Your Book
- Writing Your Book
- Formatting Your Book
- Publishing and Distribution
- Author Branding and eBook Marketing
The Self-Publishing Tools of the Trade Every Author Must Know is the new ‘must read’ for anyone who is interested in self-publishing their own work and seeing it come to life. Whether digital or hard copy, your work will look better than you could ever have hoped for, with the help of this great accompaniment.

A Message from the Author
Dear Aspiring Author,
The process of writing, proofreading, editing, and publishing a book on your own can be overwhelming. The sheer amount of work necessary to complete every task associated with writing and publishing your own book has the potential to confuse anyone, and the process can easily cause some authors to forget the important steps necessary to achieve your goal successfully. Proofreading and editing, for example, are vital steps that many potential authors neglect.
Even once your book is published, achieving full exposure of your work can be more difficult than actually publishing it. However, there are many useful resources online to help authors like yourself be reminded, guided and inspired throughout your journey of self-publishing. It is important that we learn to navigate through these online tools in order to effectively take advantage of these resources and maximize our success while on our self-publishing journey.
My latest work is called the ‘The Self-Publishing Tools of the Trade Every Author Must Know.’ This book has been published with the intent of guiding you, as a self-published author to some of the most useful tools currently available on the web, and to save you time and money.
I have compiled lists of some of the most popular online services in themed sections so you can easily navigate what is important and what will help you on your individual journey. Most of the websites I have featured in the e-book come with a short description to help you choose the right sites for your publishing needs.
The websites are listed in alphabetical order unless specified otherwise. Please use the lists to guide your research, but note that you will need to read more about what each site has to offer before deciding which ones to use.
All the links are active at the time of this publication; if any websites show error messages in the future when you click on a link, I apologize in advance. I do not have control over these sites, so if any links do not open after the publication of the e-book, my first opportunity to make editorial changes will be with the next edition of ‘The Self-Publishing Tools of the Trade Every Author
