A Detailed Guide to Self-Publishing with Amazon and Other Online Booksellers: Proofreading, Author Pages, Marketing, and More

I bought all 3 of McMullen's books on publishing with Amazon. His books are clear and well-written. Plus, they were fairly priced. My only complaint is that the 3 books could (and should) have been edited and combined into one shorter book. There was way too much repetition between the 3 books. I could have puchased just 2 of them, but the descriptions weren't clear enough to know exactly what was covered in each book. Even if I'd purchased just Vol 1 and Vol 2, there was a lot of repetition, which got pretty boring. My recommendation is to combine the 3 books into one, charge $20-$25, and save readers' time. For readers...read the descriptions carefully and take time to look inside each book. Hopefully, you can figure out what you need BEFORE you buy it.

I have read the book from front to back and so far have my draft first 10 pages working well. I am dyslectic and that make every thing I write a challenge.I was particularly interested in using Micro-soft word because I all ready use that program because of it's spelling and gramma check's .This book explains all of the "how to" situations that present in writing a BOOK .I am 79 year of age and this is my first attempt at writing a book something My School teacher thought I would never ever be able to do, Even my children thought it would be the LAST thing I could do. When at school there were two students that were for ever being hauled out as writing the worst essays , yes one was me. So with a smile on my face this book give me that ability to become an achieverCheers Ross Davis

Self-Publishing with Amazon is one of the best focused books I have read. It follows through better than any book I have read on self-publishing. The first 22 pages provided more information than several orther 200+ page books. As a new author, I have been researching the topic for several months. Chris McMullen captures the essence of the subject. His section on marketing is worth the price of the book.I have implimented several of his ideas. He has given me many more thoughts. Anyone planning on self-publishing can use the suggestions in Chris's book to make the move. I am finding his practical viewpoints are giving me many avenues to explore. His work is not only well researched, but Chris has applied it in publishing several books. As a result, he knows his concepts work. I am glad for his helpful book and I appreciate it very much.

I was really surprised to view the interior of this book when it arrived for 4+ star rating and all he says about how excellent his teaching books on this exact subject are, it looks like someone put it on auto-format and sent it without viewing the outcome, to the printer. slim margins, large text all bunched u without space between paragraphs, it rambles on and on and on.This is not a well-written book. If there is valuable information here, it is lost on the first few pages of the reader's time to SEE what is being told. My goodness. I was pretty shocked to see this. I was actually maddened by it, because I bought it for learning, and find it very unfriendly or clear to read at all. What??

This book is a true how-to-guide for newbie self publishers. McMullen’s approach is systematic with detailed emphasis on essential components of designing and proofing a self published book that looks professional and is saleable in a highly competitive marketplace. As the author of numerous books, McMullen shares his own experience with Amazon. In addition, he offers detailed advice on marketing strategies as well as information on what not to do. A Detailed Guide to Self Publishing with Amazon and Other Online Booksellers is an excellent resource for writers who are serious about self publishing and successfully marketing their books.

This is a well constructed and thought provoking book. It provides useful advice and tips on how to improve the arrangement and formatting of any author's book. I found it extremely useful and have applied its contents to my book. To all authors out there, this one's for you. Go ahead, take a peek inside the book and do yourself a big favor, purchase a copy. I did and found it great value for money. I also purchased his first volume, also a great buy!Great job Chris!Dr Lionel Smalley

Like its earlier volume, this book is very helpful on dealing with the different stages of self publishing on Amazon. It is a lot to take in, but with the clear layout and division into sections, you can go back to the requited section as you work your way through the process of getting your book on to Amazon's system.

Very good tips on marketing a self-published work.

Very good value for money & most informative.
