Put Your Book on Amazon -- the Easy Way!

You’ve finished your book! Now you’re ready to show it to the world… but the idea of navigating the publishing process seems as complicated and intimidating as updating the switch and router settings on your home Wi-Fi.

But guess what — that’s really the simplest step.

Writing your book — that’s the hard part. All the work from conception to developing the first draft to revising and rewriting — sometimes years — to make that manuscript into the story you want to tell can be just this side of raising a child. Ask your mother how easy all that is. Getting it edited and laid out can be a steep learning curve unless you already know the tools. And a cover? Painting a masterpiece to represent your magnum opus to the world? No small task. Eventually selling it, getting it in front of the audience you know will love it… that can actually involve outright use of sorcery.

But putting your book on Amazon, as an eBook or paperback? You can do that in a night.

Put Your Book Where Your Audience Can Find It

Pat Dorsey, St. Louis Publishers Association vice-president, is co-publisher at Legendary Planet. He’s put titles on Amazon including God’s Forge, 4 Avery Plays, Mightier Than The Sword, and the Candle Game series.

In the October 14 SLPA meeting, Pat will show exactly how easy it is to get your book on Amazon by putting one up LIVE for the SLPA membership to see firsthand how simple the process really is. Bring your favorite notebook and make your list of the simple tasks in the one step that’s holding you up from getting your book in front of the readers who’ll love it — the easiest step of all!

Pat Dorsey has spent his career as a professional business writer helping people and businesses tell their stories. A technical/business communication consultant and owner of Mightier Than The Sword Consulting, he is also the co-founder of indie publisher Legendary Planet. He’s been a natural storyteller his whole life, beginning in first grade when he started stapling together crayoned pages to make his own books. He’s the author of the Knights Templar adventure novel God’s Forge (his first novel published without a stapler or crayons), the eerie collection of true firsthand accounts of local ghosts Haunted Webster Groves, and the upcoming novel The Champion Sky.
