Hey Fastlaners,
I'm just starting out, having recently read TMF and finding this forum. I've been greatly inspired to begin self-publishing through Amazon but I'm curious about a few things.
I understand the main point is writing. To continue churning out new books. Consistency. But before I begin, I'd love to learn more because, outside of researching authors, books and writing styles, I know quite literally nothing on self-publishing.
1. Are there typical fonts that you guys/gals use? Does it matter?
2. What are the recommended ways to convert a word document into a nice-looking ebook?
3. What is Permafree?
4. Is Draft2Digital preferred over Smashwords? And is that the program you need to sell on other distributors? Is that how you make books Perma-Free?
5. Do you have a specific or formulaic process for writing out new books or is it shoot from the hip? I'm working on a formulaic outline to better churn out books.
6. Any other thoughts or bits of wisdom that helped you early on that might help me?
I'm not trying to sound like I'm "mooching" for information without due diligence. So if you think I'm better off finding these answers out on my own, do you suggest any other forums or specific threads in this forum that you feel I should begin sifting through?
