To celebrate NZ Book Month, Derek Grzelewski talked in assembly to our students and encouraged aspiring writers to self-publish. “While Gutenberg press created a new era of knowledge diffusion“, he said, “ebook new revolution empowers everyone to publish their work, for free!”
In the Q&A session that followed, he shared the main resources to do so.
- Kindle Direct Publishing to create your Amazon kindle e-book
- IBooks Author, to create and publish multi-touch books for iPad.
- Smashword to publish and distribute ebooks to the major retailers, fast, free and easy for any author or publisher, anywhere in the world.
On his BestSellerLab blog, Jonathan Gunson offers practical advice on how to get published and grow your readership.
And here is a list of writing, poetry and film competitions to test your writing skills.
