About the author

Jeff Bennington

I'm the bestselling author of REUNION, Twisted Vengeance, Creepy and The Indie Author's Guide to the Universe.

I live in Central Indiana with my wife, four children and two stray cats. I obsess over details, dream strange dreams and teach a creative writing course for a homeschool co-op. Look for my upcoming paranormal thriller, Act of Vengeance, coming in late 2011.

I grew up in Saginaw Michigan, moved to Aurora, Ohio in 78' and finally settled in Central Indiana where I met my wife and graduated from Indiana University. I'm an occasional runner, life long drummer, and household handyman. Over the years, I've done everything from working on an assembly line, installing HVAC units, teaching Sunday school, to running my own business. But through it all, I've always loved to write.

In 2006, something finally clicked when I heard the calling to begin writing novels - and write I did. Like many writers, I have a book or two that the world may never read, so don't ask about those. It is my hope, however, that the ones you do read will be good, inspiring you to think about life

Valuable information for successfully marketing your books, which included joining and participating in Goodreads. Not so valuable was the information on HTML hacks to enhance your book description. It is a bit technical for those who don't speak HTML; and, if Amazon wanted authors to use HTML, I believe they would provide the tools. That being said, the book is still worth your time if you want to sell more books.

ci sono alcuni consigli utili, molti non li conoscevo (il sito fiverr ad esempio, non ne avevo idea). Per altri tips l'autore ha scoperto "l'acqua calda", un self-publisher ci arriva da solo a capire che per raggiungere un buon risultato serve il supporto e il lancio che solo siti di settore con migliaia di iscritti alla newsletter possono fornirgli.
Comunque è un discreto vademecum, molto meglio di altra fuffa in cui mi sono ahimè imbattuto.

Good ideas

I have read many books on the subject and I found most of ideas in this book either new or in enough detail to actually execute them. A lot of book marketing ebooks talk primarily just in generalities. this one is much better than those

This was a nice intro to the KDP Select program. I really would have just gone blissfully ahead and self-published without having any clue there was a strategy behind it if I hadn't got my hands on this! It's short and to the point, and will give you some good tips.

Very interesting for indie authors!

I am excited to employ Jeff's tips to market my first Kindle book, "Ask Bella...for Purrfect Advice." This quick read overflows with helpful tips.

This is a very helpful book and lets authors know what works and doesn't work. Some of the options are expensive and some aren't. However, what Mr. Bennington shows you is very simply.. what works.
