It’s easy to see why that’s a problem for non-fiction books that cover distinct subject matter in each chapter, but it can also be an issue for readers who want to review or clarify a convoluted family history or new technology that you introduced three hundred pages ago.Ĭreating a linked table of contents is not as complicated as it seems. Most eBook apps will hold a user’s place between sessions, but the absence of page numbers can make it very difficult for readers to flip back and forth between chapters without tabbing endlessly through the parts they’ve already read.
One of the most important is the table of contents (TOC). While Amazon KDP, Smashwords, and other self-publishing platforms have started to do a lot of the formatting work automatically when authors upload their content, there are a few things that still have to be done manually. But eBooks have additional mechanics that can make or break a reader’s good opinion. A lot of authors make it even harder by failing to develop their product to its fullest potential before sending it out into the world.Īn attractive cover is a good place to start, and targeting your audience appropriately can get the right eyeballs onto your work. Whether you’re going it alone or delegating some of the buzz-building to a paid PR team, marketing a self-published novel is a tough gig. In this golden age of digital self-publishing, there’s only one thing harder than writing a good book: selling it. Keep an eye out for fun, exclusive Launch Day stuff by liking my page on Facebook!
