Have you always wanted to publish your own eBook, but you don’t know where to start?
Our diploma course will take you through the whole process of publishing your eBook yourself, right through from formatting your book, choosing the best platforms on which to publish, setting a price and actually publishing your book. We’ll show you the different ways to publish your eBook, and explain each one in detail (including how you get paid) so you can decide what’s best for you. We’ll explain the difference between publishing a book for Kindle and for EPUB, and how you format your book accordingly.
At the Online Learning Academy, we offer our students full support with their courses via email and telephone. Should you need it, we can arrange a call to discuss parts of the course in detail, or you can receive email support from our tutors.
Our approach to learning
Our course will explain in easy to understand step-by-step instructions how you go about formatting your manuscript to be self-published. We explain the different tricks involved, and talk about the online tools you can use to make the process easier. Each module of the course comes complete with a self-test quiz at the end, so you can be sure you’ve understood all of the important points.
At the end of the course is an assessment for you to complete and return to the Online Learning Academy for marking whereupon, if successful, you’ll be awarded your diploma. More importantly, though, you’ll know how to self-publish your eBook!
