Este libro es para todos esos autores que se sienten intimidados de publicar sus libros, ya sea en forma impresa, formato electrónico o ambos. He publicado más de cien libros con los priincipales editores y distribuidores, así que quedé sorprendido cuando supe que algunos escritores excelentes postergan autopublicarse porque les parece una tarea demasiado confusa y difícil, así que le pagan a otros para que lo hagan.
Puedo entenderlo si un autor quiere ahorrar tiempo, así que el objetivo de este libro es ayudar a quienes quieren emprender la tarea pero no saben cómo.
Es muy satisfactorio concebir la idea de un libro, escribirlo y luego publicarlo tú mismo, y con la ayuda de este libro. es exactamente lo que podrás hacer.
Acá aprenderás cómo publicar en los principales distribuidores, como Amazon, iBookstore, Barnes and Noble, Lulu, Nook, Kindle, Smashwords y XinXii.
Owen Jones, Amazon Best-Selling Author from Barry, Wales, has lived in several countries and travelled in many more. While studying Russian in the USSR in the '70's, he hobnobbed with spies on a regular basis; in Suriname, he got caught up in the 1982 coup; and while a company director, he joined the crew of four as the galley slave to sail from Barry to Gibraltar a home-made concrete yacht, which was almost rammed by a Russian oil tanker and an American aircraft carrier.
“I am a Celt, and we are romantic”, he said when asked about his writing style, “and I firmly believe in reincarnation, Karma and Fate, so, sayings like 'Do unto another...', and 'What goes round comes around' are central to my life and reflected in my work. I write about what I see, or think I see, or dream... and, in the end it is all the same really”. He speaks seven languages and is learning Thai, since he lives in Thailand with his Thai wife of fifteen years.
His first novel, Daddy's Hobby is from the seven-part series 'Behind The Smile: The Story of Lek, a Bar Girl in Pattaya', but his largest collection is 'The Megan Series', twenty-three novelettes on the psychic development of a teenage girl, the subtitle of which, 'A Spirit Guide, A Ghost Tiger and One Scary Mother!' sums them up nicely. He has written fifty novels and novelettes, including: Dead Centre; Andropov's Cuckoo; Fate Twister; The Disallowed (a philosophical comedy); Tiger Lily of Bangkok; and A Night in Annwn (Annwn being the ancient Welsh word for Heaven). Many have been translated into foreign languages and narrated into audio books.
Owen Jones writes stories set in Wales, Spain and Thailand, where he now lives. He is a life-long Spiritualist, and this belief is interwoven, in a very realistic way, into many of his books and storylines. If you like a touch of the 'supernatural', try his books
He sums his life up thus: “Born in the Land of Song, Living in the Land of Smiles”.
