The month of April all over the world was chaotic. People’s life and living took a hit. You are probably in Corona virus lockdown somewhere praying for this nightmare to end. I hope you are doing self-quarantine the right way.
But you achieved something amazing this month. You wrote when things were falling apart. Now its time to think about making something memorable with your April 2020 blog posts.
Have you thought about getting ready for Blogchatter eBook Carnival?
If you haven’t you must read all about how Blogchatter eBook festival is great for promoting your book. I am sure it’s going to be announced soon. But if not, you can read all about it here and here.
I also made a video about it,
But what comes after Blogchatter eBook?
It depends. You can submit your book to traditional publishers.
You can go the self-publishing way .
You can offer your book for free to your blog subscribers .
You can sell it on your blog. The Jetpack premium plugin can help with that.
In case you do want to try self-publishing,I want to tell you the good news first.
Its free to get started on Kindle direct publishing .With the Corona virus pandemic ,e-books make even more sense.
So how do you get started?
First, you need to check your book matter. If its content is Blogchatter A2Z then you need to check whether the book is flowing nicely from one chapter to the next. Is the bookmaking sense? If you feel, it needs more material, then add them.
You can use Microsoft word to write your book ,to avoid formatting errors with Kindle.
The Kindle Create software is a free tool that helps you format for Kindle.
Canva will help you with creating your eBook cover.Its very easy to get started.
You can even offer the book for free during a KDP select promotion.

So, you write your book first, then talk about or share it during blogchatter, and then, self-publish? Sounds interesting!
Yes, right!
Count me in on the blogchatter ebook! I am presently writing my second edition to my first book- I did self publish it “Get Your Leash On!” is the title……self publishing is the way to go- traditional publishers have TRULY take a serious hit. Just thinking I’m using the word serious in alot of my comments today….weird, huh??!?!?!? But yeah years ago my Dad suggested self publishing my book, then in 2014, he was proud I finally did it. Now I just need to do a second edition- making some needed changes, updates and additions. WOW…..You must have know I am working on my second edition with this post…..because this post came to remind me and teach me possibly some new stuff……But count me in for any new groups I can get involved in to get my book done…..WHEW, it’s not easy……but in the end worth it!!….Honestly self publishing is more rewarding because you do everything yourself and reap all the rewards yourself. And more personal!
I would love to know more about your book
I had a book ready to go on Kindle, but they nixed it. Coronavirus was a bit too controversial for them.
