"How To Create Martial Arts eBooks"
Design, Write, Publish and Market Your Digital Publications

"How To Create Martial Arts eBooks" was previously available but is being moved to a new format (as well as being heavily upgraded with reviews of new programs). While waiting for its re-release, I recommend subscribing to AWCA Notes for immediate notification of its availability.

Most publications or courses offer very little by way of "how" to write your piece. You might get a few tips and pointers, but what you need is a step-by-step guideline for actually taking you by the hand through a complete project, such as:

How to develop a writing style

How to create an outline

Who your target audience is and what appeals to them

Fonts, font sizes, and colors that work best for readability

How to edit and proof-read a manuscript

What eBook programs are good (and not so good)

How to create eCovers and why they are so important

How to include photos, videos, and audio

How to light your subjects for the best appearance

That is just a small sampling of what "How To Create Martial Arts eBooks" covers, and what most other "how to" publications do not address. Mastering these elements, however, will make or break a quality publication.

You will learn everything you need for designing the layout, what goes in to writing it, how to include photos, videos and audio, how to compile it, how to create eCovers, and also how to market and advertise it.

I also included some special bonus tutorials for many of these areas, as well as:

How to evaluate the finished product, and

How to understand a user's perception of that product

Through a specific evaluation process, you will learn the ins and outs of how to take a user's feedback and improve your publication, as well as how it is presented. After all, you might want to make money writing it, but the information must first and foremost be of service to your readers. Without that, it will not last very long.

And with "How To Create Martial Arts eBooks", you will have all of this information at your fingertips.
