    About this ebook

    'Handcraft EPUB In 7 Steps' makes ePub creation simple for Authors. The book aims at truly emphasizing on the word 'crafting'— as it will in a step-by-step fashion, show how you can create an EPUB with your own resources without paying too much attention to the associated syntax and semantics and without using any conversion software. The book will not bore you with coding! Every code in the book (CSS or XHTML) are spelt out as a 'mini formula'. It answers many questions bothering new intending, do-it-yourself writers, including whether to publish in ePub2 or ePub3.

      CHAPTER 1

      Codes Are No Barriers

      The first running thoughts of Authors when they have finished with the manuscript of their books in raw formats (Microsoft Word, Text, HTML, etc.) are the thoughts of how best to get the book published as a standard e-book so that it can be on the shelves for people to view, read or buy. More often than not, new authors are usually embroiled in the making of two choices: the first is to find and utilize a conversion package (some of which are free) to convert the books to any format. It turns out that in most cases, they are not completely happy with the outcome— they think their dream e-book should look better than that. The second option for beginners is to approach some conversion experts to do the job so that the e-book looks the way they desire; or better still, to approach an 'aggregator', who will do the conversion of the book and ultimately distribute the e-book through various retailers. Either way, these are good choices and ultimately, the e-book is now a material that the world can see and purchase.

      I have personally utilized both avenues extensively but I must again and again submit to anyone who intends to take responsibility that the process will take away some precious time, at least if you consider that your plan is to write three to four books within a short period of time. However, your desire may be that you want to understand the publishing process, do things yourself and even publish your book, at least from a business start-up point of view. Then you are reading the right book. If the term EPUB is not in your project or planning dictionary and you are thinking more in other e-book formats like MOBI, never mind. Just feel at home as you will happily arrive at that final e-book of your choice, including a MOBI format for a market place like Amazon. In other words, this book is not only for those who want to create EPUBs. It goes a little further— with a well-formatted or finished EPUB, you can publish your book on platforms like the Amazon Kindle Store? We shall outline this simple process in Chapter 3 (Let's Go crafting) and Chapter 4 (Publish, Sell, Honest Opinions). The objectives of this book are very simple:

      To help writers and intending publishers to see that working with codes such as putting your texts, book information and images within XML or XHTML and using CSS to style the display are no stumbling blocks but that it is better to see the codes as tools to wrap up your book rather than seeing the coding process as some 'must have skill' criteria.

      To show the art of writing and formatting a standard e-book, whether it is meant for the e-book market place or the idea is to archive office or similar documents in EPUB formats.

      Explain certain best media practices which include proper handling and placement of images and other media contents within your
