I have written a short e-book(17.5k words) on weightloss and stopping the onset of Type 2 diabetes, how I did it
through exercise and diet change.
The plan is to upload it to Amazon and sell as a Kindle book priced around $3.49-99.
My problem is that I am having a real problem learning Calibre and Scrivener to try to get this thing converted to the Amazon format.
After beating my head against the wall for almost two weeks, I have decided that the only way this will get done is if I pay someone to do it.
Basically here is what needs to be done. I will do the uploading of the formatted manuscript myself.
I would need someone to add the front pages- title, copyright and a preface that I will provide.
Chapter headings will have to be added, I do have page breaks as needed. Btw, it is an intro and 10 short chapters. My understanding is that this is for the automatic generation of a clickable table ofcontents, an Amazon requirement.
There will be a few photographs to add into the text- me before and after, and some "mouth watering" photos of meals that my girlfriend has made that really helped drop the pounds.
Last would be an appendix which is about 6 pages of before and after blood lab results. I can get those scanned to provide a jpg images for insertion.
If this is something that you can do or if you have worked with someone else who is experienced at this, please let me know here or by a private message.
I will be heading out from socal on the way to Arkansas next week and if you are off I-40 I can find you and drop off a USB flash drive with everything on it if necessary.
No one works for free. I have a quote for $100 already from a publisher but thought someone here would probably do as good a job and it would keep it within the community so to speak.
Thanks for any info or help.
