In this primer on digital self publishing, we'll walk through the process of selecting and working with a firm to format and design your e-book and getting your e-book listed for sale on online outlets like Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and Google Books. On the way, we'll also discuss what digital rights are (and why you might not want to sign these rights away to a traditional print publisher).

John Snyder retained the digital rights to his memoir Hill of Beans: Coming of Age in the Last Days of the Old South (Smith/Kerr Associates, 2011), which he has just published as an e-book.

Joshua Tallent is the founder and CEO of eBook Architects, an e-book conversion and consulting firm based in Austin, Texas.

Parnell Hall is the acclaimed author of the Puzzle Lady and Stanley Hastings mystery series. His most recent book, $10,000 in Small Unmarked Puzzles: A Puzzle Lady Mystery will be published this January in print by St. Martin's Press and as an e-book by Parnell Hall.
