Self-Publishing firm finds national audience - New Hampshire Business Review

Panzer made a short trip into the Catosphere today. Our inquisitive kitty boy found an interesting post about self-publishing at the New Hampshire Business Review site.

Always check things out first.

According to a post there by Liisa Rajala, self-published author J.J. Hebert has a company called MindStir Media. Based on his experiences with his self-publishing, Mr. Hebert decided to help other authors with the process, He hired editors and illustrators to be able to offer those services to authors. In order to be a full service company to authors, his next step was to start a self-publishing press, Seacoast. They publish hardbacks, softcover, and ebooks and report they've published 400 books now.

Panzer says, "The last section of the post is an interview with an author who has used the business for all of her books."

Note: This is a l-o-n-g post. You'll need a b-i-g cup of tea and a muffin for today's reading.

Amazon Introduces Tool to Self-Publish Children’s Books on Kindle - GalleyCat

Pop-ups?

Panzer made a quick trip over to GalleyCAT today. He's been hearing about Amazon's new Kid's Book Creator and he wanted to check it out. He found a post by Dianna Dilworth about just that.

Now, you can build your children's book with illustrations, text and pop-ups on your computer and upload it when you're finished. Then you can see how your book will look on all the Kindle products. If you're satisfied, you can publish it to the Kindle Store.

Panzer says, "This makes me want to publish a Panzer, The Cat, children's book."
