My new free PDF resource for independent authors is out now: The Mechanics of Self-Publishing Ebooks: 10 guidelines in 10 minutes.
Aimed at writers who want to do their own eformatting – in Word – this PDF toolkit helps the independent, self-publishing author to deliver a professional-looking ebook to market. The guidelines are based on my own experience of publishing three ebooks, and my previous career experience within the publishing industry.
And, because time is precious to us all, I've designed it so that each of the 10 sections can be read in a minute!

Thank you for this 10 point PDF, Louise. You wrote a short and informative reference that's very helpful for everybody. Especially the condensed form works fine in my opinion. More like an extended cheat sheet or quick reference for those who want to self-publish their books.
