BB eBooks Newsletter – May 22, 2014

Dear Friend,

It is probably not a good time to plan that romantic getaway to Thailand, as the country has just had its 12th coup. It’s not all bad though. Romance authors can gain writing ideas with the latest trend among young Thai ladies: #SoldierCuteBoy. Regardless of the political situation, BB eBooks remains open for business and May has actually been our best month yet. Thank you to all our great clients for making this happen. Please feel free to contact us for a quote on your eBook or POD project as the summer quickly approaches.


Understanding Book Piracy

PirateBay

Many authors have expressed their frustration with their eBooks being pirated by sleazy websites and through the BitTorrent protocol. While piracy is difficult to counter, we explain how eBooks are pirated and a few tips on what you can do to protect yourself.


Best Practices - Promotional Back Matter

Do you make the use of your back matter? The most successful authors have outstanding techniques that really help their brand, provide some fun extras, and most importantly get readers to buy more of their books. We take a look at NY Times bestselling author Carly Phillips as a case study for how to get the most out of your back matter.


Best Practices – eBook Back Matter by Section for Non-Fiction

Are you putting together a detailed work of non-fiction? Please visit our site to learn about the different sections in the back matter you can utilize to make your book more professional. This includes a glossary, bibliography, and a colophon. In the near future, we’ll be releasing a best practice guide that covers this in comprehensive detail.


Best Practices – The Index

Complex works of non-fiction and academic eBooks can truly benefit from an index. We provide some tips on preparing an index, as well as an explanation of how a properly formatted index works inside an eBook. This process is labor-intensive, but you can count on BB eBooks to do the job for you.

Thanks to everyone who wrote in to check up on us during these troubled times. Coups are nothing new to Thailand, so we’ll be alright. Please enjoy the beginning of summer!

Yours sincerely,

The BB eBooks Team
