How to format my eBook?

We Answered:

You need Adobe. If you don't have it in that form theres no way people would be able to read of the kindle with Word document. Try saving money to get it.

I'm looking for other bride's feedback on a "do it yourself invitation" ebook?

We Answered:

I'd definitely read your book. Designing the paper parts of the wedding (save the date, invite, programs, etc.) was one of my favorite parts. I'm a graphic designer and book designer, so I knew the professional end of things but I wasn't aware of all the papers, punches, and d.i.y. stuff that are now available because of scrapbooking/crafting renaissance. It was interesting to me to see how these two worlds could overlap and support each other. I had a lot of fun getting in touch with my more "crafty" side. I'd love to read your book, and think my design industry background would offer you a different viewpoint. You can email me if you think I'm a good candidate. Good Luck with your book!

Gwendolyn Said:

Can I publish my book over the internet for free?

We Answered:

You are going to have to list every resource you used in the bibliography of the book. That is what is fair, right, and ethical. You probably haven't violated copyrights, but you might want to see if you can take a little extra time to reword the questions and answers a bit so it's not being directly lifted from the copyrighted material.

On the other hand, if you're in Sri Lanka, you might be immune from US prosecution of copyrighted materials. I don't know.

How can I publish my book for FREE?

We Answered:

Nahi,

Here is a site that explains a lot of what you've done. My take on this is that you've done nothing wrong as long as you let everyone know where you got the information and you didn't copy verbatim every word you've read on the web page.

When we attend schools we read texts that are created to teach us the subjects we tend to study. Copying from a textbook is simply learning the facts about a certain course we're taking. I wouldn't worry about illegal right now, but find a literary agent in Writer's Market for the current year and write a query letter to that agent explaining what you have.

Publishers have lawyers who can sift through your work and identify plagiarism and copyright infringement. You just need to let them know what web pages you acquired the information from. Let them judge for themselves what is legal and what isn't . . . that is, if they decide to take you up on it and represent your work

Good luck!
