A Self-Published Book
Doesn't Have to be Ugly

Design help for amateurs who want to publish like professionals.

The low cost of self-publishing both printed books and eBooks has encouraged thousands of writers to quickly become publishers. Sadly, many lack the skills, experience and software to produce attractive books. Even sadder, many don't know what they don't know; and either out of ignorance or out of financial necessity, they decide to design and format their own books.

Because of this, self-publishing authors often produce really uglty books that are hated by readers and condemned by reviewers.

It doesn't have to be that way.

In this comprehensive, yet easy-to-understand book, bestselling author and experienced publisher Michael N. Marcus provides the information and advice that can help self-publishing authors to create much better books. They mught not win trophies or become bestsellers, but they shouldn't be laughed at.
