This 45 page eBook describes everything I went through from writing to publishing my first eBook on Amazon. Though I believe this will be most beneficial to beginning authors I suspect more experienced authors could find value as well. I was very fortunate in that from the time I began writing my eBook until it became a #1 Bestseller in an Amazon category was only 19 days! Don’t get me wrong…the idea for my first book had been on my mind for years. One day I decided to start researching the process to publish on Amazon and after spending a great many hours doing so, I simply decided to start to write. With the varied experiences we encounter in life many of us frequently say to ourselves “I could write a book about that”. Well, this book shows you how to do that. In fact, it shows you how to do it in your spare time. Hence the word "Moonlight" in the title.As a beginning author I found the process a bit intimidating at first. My goal is to pass on the knowledge I gained through hours of research on the topic. I wish to make it clear that this is the process I used. There are many different paths you could take to write an eBook. I am always looking for an easier way to go about things. Many times the subject is made out to be more complicated than it needs to be. I believe the process I followed could be followed by many beginning authors. That is not to say that an experienced author will not benefit from this book. Maybe you will find something that you can do to streamline your next book.I cover two of the most concerning topics to me as I began my research. The cost to publish and how to do this on my own. I did not want to hire a publishing company for something that I had no idea would be successful. I just knew I had an idea but did not want to expend a lot of financial resources testing this out. After establishing the entire process, the one area that confused me the most was the proper formatting of an eBook. I did not even know what formatting meant when I began. As in everything, there seems to be an easy and hard way to go about this. Guess which direction I picked? It took some time, but I was finally able to find a simple step by step process for formatting in Microsoft Word. I provide each step in the book. Most of us have Microsoft Word on our home computer and are generally familiar with its use so that made the most sense for me. There are many software options you could purchase, however then you start introducing cost and complexity in to the process. I also explain the cost of everything involved. Again, I found two different ways to go about this. As a banker I know how to manage a dollar. The total cost to complete this eBook was only $100. I explain exactly how I accomplished that. I did not want to jeopardize the quality of the product at the same time so it took some homework to find the best solutions at the lowest price possible. As time goes by, I may choose to upgrade to a more expensive process, but for now I think this works just fine.There are many books on this subject; however I was not able to find one that covered everything needed to publish on Amazon. Many books cover just one step at a time. This covers the entire process I used from beginning to end as I published my eBook.I would like to explain why I decided to write this eBook. Once I finished my first eBook I wanted to make notes on everything I did in the event I chose to write another. As I began making the checklist it dawned on me that this could be of great value to future "budding" authors. Just as I had passed on my knowledge in my first eBook “Everyone Can Be A Millionaire”, I wanted to pass on everything I learned to write, publish and market that book so that others could benefit from my research. I hope this book does just that for you. Now there is nothing to hold you back on your own “Bestseller”.
