One of the beautiful things about being in the social media for authors business is the networking that happens between our team and our phenomenal group of authors. And when authors share a resource, we listen!
Case in point: The Ebook Editor. When a client recently went surfing for just the right person to handle converting her previously print-only book into formats for Kindle and Nook, etc., she found one company that stood out, the Ebook Editor, led by Chris O’Byrne, an editor and e-book conversion wizard.
But we have stringent criteria when it comes to protecting and promoting our authors. First, the company has to be responsive and timely. Check. Second, they have to really know their stuff. Check. Third, they need to be super cost-effective; that’s one of our founding principles. Check. And of course, most importantly, they have to be passionate about authors and words and serving this very special community. Check, check, check!
The EBook Editor’s hand-crafted ebook conversion services provide you with an ebook that makes you look like the professional you are. He can convert to Kindle, ePub, and all other ebook formats, hand-coded specifically for each type of format.
Chris does more than simple conversions, however; he actually formats the manuscript specifically for each type of ebook format. Think of it as personalized typesetting for each ebook format. Each format is then hand-checked on the actual device it will be used on until the book looks perfect. In addition, he prepares a specially formatted Word doc ready to submit to Smashwords. All of this for only $199. (And as a valued partner, if you tell him Shark Marketing Co. sent you, you’ll enjoy a 10% discount off his services!)
Chris is also an ace editor, specializing in non-fiction. “I love helping authors improve their work by helping them with all of the nit-picky details that drive most people nuts. Whether it’s developing a story, creating an argument, copyediting, or proofreading—I love it all.”
The Book Editor can upload your content to ebook content sites (Amazon, Apple, Barnes & Noble, Borders, Diesel, Kobo, Smashwords, and Sony) too. This saves you having to learn the process for each distribution site and you know your book is getting widespread coverage. And he can arrange necessary ISBN #s, and more (but you need to read all about that at his well-presented website).
In short, we’re happy to recommend The Ebook Editor as your go-to source for getting your ebook to the masses, quickly, efficiently, and without extravagant costs, as we’re always conscious of new authors needing to conserve their resources, even as they conserve their time to write – so we can all enjoy more of your words!
