Imagine your book published on Amazon by this time next week or even sooner!

You made a resolution…

This is the year you’ll finish writing your book!

And you did it!! Congratulations!!

But…it’s still sitting on your hard drive.

Why isn’t it published??

Did you finish writing only to realize that you have no idea how to get it on Amazon?

So did I!

If your life is anything like mine, you have a thousand things clamoring for your time all at once!

And while you’re being pulled in all directions, you have to try to figure out how to format your eBook for Kindle.

You could spend thousands of dollars to get it there…

Or, hundreds of hours trying to figure it out…

Or…you could learn from someone who has a way that you can do it yourself. Quickly and cheaply!

That’s me! I’ve combined all I’ve learned in my book Seven Days to Kindle – The Overwhelmed Author’s Guide to Formatting an Amazon Kindle Book in Seven Days.

Just imagine your book being available for sale on Amazon by this time next week or even sooner!

You’ll use software you already have – Microsoft Word…

There’s no coding, no one to hire, no tech jargon to decipher…

And, I’ve put it down for you in super easy to understand and follow lessons.

Sounds like something you could use today doesn’t it?

Yes, it sure does!

Still not sure?

Scroll down and read reviews from some authors just like you who used the knowledge in Seven Days to Kindle to publish their books…I’ll wait…

Welcome back. :)

Get Seven Days to Kindle and you’ll only be a week away (or less) from joining the ranks of published Amazon authors.

See you on the bestsellers list!

About the author

Seven Days?

If you’re like me, you have too many things competing for your time. Children, a spouse, and the responsibilities of a job are only a few of them. You’ve had to somehow fit your writing time in between all those things, waking up super early or working extra late to get the words down.

Now, after all that time and sacrifice, your manuscript is complete and ready for the world. You’re finally ready to be an Amazon author.

But now what? How do you take that great Word document on your hard drive to the Amazon bestseller lists? You have a vague idea of what’s required. You’ve seen guides about formatting your eBook, but they seem like they’re written in ancient Macedonian.

HTML? Styles? What the heck...

Besides, even if you knew how to go about formatting your eBook, who has the time? It was hard enough to find time to write the darn thing.

Face it. You have the will, but not the time or the skill. Not yet!

I know how you feel, I was right where you are only a few short years ago, that’s why I wrote this guide. Now you might say, I can get it done for $20 or $30 on Fiverr or a similar site, so why should I do it myself? I cringe when people say that, only because I’ve seen many authors go the route of paying someone to put their manuscript through software that mangles it, only to find that the book is an embarrassing, unreadable mess when they upload to Amazon. It’s not worth the wasted money or the stress of seeing the book you worked on so lovingly look so very terrible. You can avoid all that by doing it yourself.

Besides, NO ONE is going to give your manuscript the loving care it deserves and that only YOU will! That’s a fact!

I’ve taken the lessons I’ve learned and put them in an easy to follow method that will allow you to format your eBook in seven simple one-hour sessions. If you have the time to do it all in one session, awesome, you can do that too. But, if you’re like me, so swamped you need to schedule time just to breathe, then this guide will have your eBook ready to upload in only a few short hours.

There’s some preparation involved to make the whole process smoother so if you haven’t already, click HERE and download the worksheets.

Congratulations on finishing your book, and best of luck in your writing journey. See you on the bestseller lists!
