Blogging, Writing, and Publishing

www.redbikepublishing.com Hi everybody, If you are like me, you are working from home during this quarantine. For me that means working my day job at my kitchen table, and my Red Bike Publishing work in my study. Two different computer; two different rooms. I am currently republishing old books and slowing working on new ones. My main purpose is to use my security books to lead people to my newsletter and security training.

I've already published so many books on my own, and it's even getting easier; self publishing has come a very long way. Now with Amazon.com and Kindle Direct Publishing, it&

After writing and publishing many, many books, I have come to the conclusion that publishing and managing books on Amazon is currently the best option and for a few very good reasons: It is free to publish your books on Amazon. As a publisher, I've used many print and publishing services, and Amazon is the only one that I'm aware of that will let you upload and publish for free. You can publish an ebook, a paperback, and an audio book. Since it's free, you can update book content and covers any time. It's almost instant.. You want a new cover? Upload it Need to correct an error or update book content? Upload it All you need is an amazon account and you are capable of being a publisher. It's really all there is to it. Your publisher account is tied to your amazon account Your author page is tied to your a
