My Novel's Available on Kindle!
Saturday, February 23, 2013

Last month I shared the exciting news that I got my first novel published. (Well, it was exciting news to me, at least.) I got some very kind responses, but most of them requested that I make the novel available on Kindle ... so I've done that!

Here's the link: http://www.amazon.com/Outsider-Penumbra-Volume-Diane-McCallum/dp/1481834738/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1361631183&sr=8-1&keywords=diane+mccallum

I hope you'll check it out and decide if it's something you might be interested in. Thanks!

Sorry. I realized you posted this on the blog about Kindle, so you were probably asking about Kindle, not amazon.com. For that, I went to kdp.amazon.com and signed in. They will help you figure out how to format your novel for Kindle. Since I'd already had my novel accepted by CreateSpace, I already had the cover made, so that helped a lot. Of course, the specifications for Kindle are very different than for CreateSpace, so I had to reformat the document. The site is pretty helpful in letting you know what is required for the formatting, but you have to read in several different places to find all of it. Again, good luck!

I went through this site: CreateSpace.com. It's really self-publishing, or publish-on-demand. You can spend as little or as much money as you want to get your manuscript ready for them to print it out for you. I did all of the formatting myself, so I didn't have to pay anything up front. It's hard to meet their requirements, but not impossible. I recommend that you take your time and do a lot of reading on their site, including the community. I found that very helpful. Once they've accepted your manuscript and cover, they'll post your novel on amazon.com. (For Kindle, you have to go through another process.) I hope this helps. Good luck!

Thank you so much! I really appreciate it.

I understand being swamped with stuff, so I promise to keep breathing. I hope someday you'll be able to let me know what you think, though. Feedback is always good while I work on the second one.

Thanks again!

And I bought it!

Don't hold your breath waiting for a response though, I've got a lot on my plate right now.
