Does quality matter in the new publishing paradigm?

Skilled Workman Posted on May 1, 2013 by David BergslandMay 1, 2013

As I have been experiencing, learning, teaching, and writing about on-demand self publishing over the past decade or two [I actually started self publishing ebooks in 1993 or 4], one area of book design has slid right past most of the new authors. This is quality. We won’t even discuss how quality dropped in the slide from letterpress to offset. That’s back in the dark ages, pre-digital. Silly person! That doesn’t matter any more. The one that … Continue reading →

Just released a 69 page preview of my Self Publishing Handbook

Skilled Workman Posted on April 25, 2013 by David BergslandApril 25, 2013

The book is due out in May, 2013. It will be called: Practical Professional Self Publishing Handbook The book is written for those authors who recognize that professional production is key to having their books taken seriously. They are also tired of paying hundreds or thousands of dollars every time they release a book. In addition, they are sick of the need to be constantly contacting their designer to get special previews, gift editions, updates, and all … Continue reading →

InDesign is the key to economy in self-publishing

Skilled Workman Posted on November 18, 2012 by David BergslandNovember 18, 2012

Possibly the biggest news in publishing for ministries and non-profits is that you can start out free. All it takes is an iMac or equivalent (Mac or PC) and InDesign You will need to do a bit of study. It will take some work. But, it can be done easily. The Adobe apps are all available for less than $50 per month. There is also educational and non-profit pricing. You can do this!

Using embedded fonts in ePUBs for free: DIY Publishing wins!

Skilled Workman Posted on October 23, 2012 by David BergslandOctober 23, 2012

I just tried something and was surprised by the result. After learning this morning that I don’t actually buy books from Kindle, but lease them, I wanted to see what my options are if I actually buy an ePUB. More than that, as a font designer, I wanted to try an ePUB with embedded fonts. So, I simply exported an ePUB with embedded font from my KF8 version of the book and emailed it to myself. Then … Continue reading →

The entire definition of a book has changed

Skilled Workman Posted on October 22, 2012 by David BergslandOctober 22, 2012

How have things been revised: This piece you are reading did not appear first as a book in the traditional sense. These paragraphs were first released as the first posting of a new series on my blog, The Skilled Workman, in April of 2011. There was a link to a free downloadable PDF version at Scribd. The intention was a fully developed book after I was given the complete vision to share. I ended up with six of … Continue reading →

Starting at the beginning: Document Setup…

Skilled Workman Posted on August 13, 2012 by David BergslandAugust 13, 2012

This is the dialog box which opens when you choose New from the file menu or type Command+N. Many of the choices found in this dialog box are based on your experience. I’ll use my current choices, just so we can talk about the issues involved. The first choice is that I always start with print chosen as my intent. There are many reasons for this. But I can state it simply as I start out. Print … Continue reading →

Setting up your book to be read: page layout

Skilled Workman Posted on August 6, 2012 by David BergslandAugust 6, 2012

Page layout basics One of the more daunting aspects of book design for the inexperienced is page layout. Most people have Word experience and as I have said countless times already—Word cannot do professional page layout. In fact, it is worse than that because Word’s feeble attempts give you bad habits and poor expectations—which must be corrected. Many settings have to be covered for every document. Many of these are set up as you go through the … Continue reading →

What is On-Demand publishing?

Skilled Workman Posted on July 16, 2012 by David BergslandJuly 16, 2012

The concept of on-demand publishing is simple The printer or distributor stores the book on their hard drive (server farm). It is printed or downloaded only after it is ordered and paid for. So, unless there is a demand, it is not printed or downloaded. Much like just-in-time manufacturing, your book is delivered upon demand. You upload the digital files: They are stored on the servers of the on-demand printer or ebook distributor. They print the document … Continue reading →

Kindle Export Plug-in for InDesign CS6 Released!

Skilled Workman Posted on July 10, 2012 by David BergslandJuly 10, 2012

I probably shouldn’t have put an exclamation mark on the title for I haven’t had a chance to try it yet. I’m still wading through the documentation. But I’ve been waiting for this for a long time. The CS6 plug-in Here’s a quote from their Web page from which you can download the plug-in. Kindle Plugin for Adobe InDesign® (Beta) is officially supported by Amazon to convert files to the Kindle format. We recommend you use Kindle … Continue reading →

Writing In InDesign means it’s ready to go when you finish!

Skilled Workman Posted on June 19, 2012 by David BergslandJune 19, 2012

When you’re done writing and editing, it’s ready to print! This is probably the best part of the process. In the traditional scenario, design and formatting does not begin until the book is written and edited. If you are writing and editing in InDesign, when you are done writing, the book is ready to release. If you print on-demand, it can be available to your readers in a couple weeks or less (even today, depending on the … Continue reading →
