Reviews of The Secrets to Ebook Publishing Success

Great book! Instructions and explanations are very easy to understand. This book has been a great help for me, thanks!

Instructive, approachable, eye-opening and inspiring.

Mark is the real thing! You cannot fake it! If one is inspired about something, I can tell it by reading several pages at most. Well, Mark is inspired by helping authors to be successful, and he takes it seriously. After reading "The Secrets of Ebook Publishing Success" I know that I can trust Mark. I must admit that I have not yet published anything at Smashwords because I am waiting for multiple agents to process my queries, but if I end up having to go the self-publishing route, I promise that every Mark's recommendation will be given a very good consideration. Thank you, Mark!

This book is genuinely inspiring. After reading it, I am excited afresh about being a writer, and have lots of great ideas to put into practice. The themes in the book I think are most important are:
How ebooks are ever-fresh, whereas paper books have a "ticking clock" which starts as soon as they get into the bookshops.
How you can keep tinkering with your book until you hit the right thing that makes it go viral.
How marketing is important (and this book has plenty of great ideas!) but the best way to go viral is to write a great book.
Thanks for everything, Mark!

I think i can now master writing for e-books. this book was easy to understand.

also helpful!

I am so glad i stumbled across Mark Coker. I had researched a variety of self-publishing books, but the Smashwords Style Guide was so practical and detailed I know I wouldn't have got anywhere without it. I love the Secrets because of the acknowledgement 'First write a great book' being 80% of the job. I am aware the indie market is crowded now, which is exactly why we need to study the marketing guide, to become the cream rising to the top. Thanks for your generous help, Mark

Indeed, it’s a book to have in your arsenal towards helping you inspiringly reach higher bounds. Ronald Walker

Very informative and helpful to a first time e-book publisher and also for someone like me who has only just released their first book. I love the amount of detail and history put into this book.

Three years ago-it was much easier to publish an indie and make money. Now with the crazy amount of authors and the sites who publish books under 5000 word means all the good and full-length books are buried beneath them and no one can afford to market them on their own. I am completely burned out on social media to promote it too. Coker does point out some great ways to do it-but you need persistence or $$$ to carry it out. If publishers charged $300 per book there would be a lot less authors who are not serious. Of course, they could offer scholarships to the starving writers. So-no one get mad at me for suggesting things--OK?
