A. William Benitez

From age twelve I spent my summers and weekends working with my dad, a general contractor, building homes and buildings. I contracted my first home at age nineteen and built my own home by age twenty. I’ve operated one-person businesses for more than 30 years. Twelve years of my life were spent working for local government managing federally-funded housing programs. I started as an inspector with a three month assignment and left as Director of Community Improvement with 78 employees twelve years later to do writing and consulting. Writing, Publishing and Consulting I established Rehab Notes Library, a publishing company that published a monthly newsletter (Rehab Notes) with subscribers in all 50 states, Canada and England and nine books on housing related topics. I also did consulting and public speaking on housing related topics for agencies and organizations in cities across the country. After 1980 when most federal funding was pulled from housing activities, I took advantage of my construction and business experience and started a handyman and woodworking business. Over Twenty-Five Years of Woodworking For over twenty-five years, first in Tampa, Florida and then in Austin, Texas, I built hundreds of small and large cabinet and furniture projects for individuals, companies and government agencies. During these years I began writing books about my experiences. Positive Publishing My company, Positive Imaging, LLC at http://positive-imaging.com, does what I call positive publishing for my books and the books of other authors. To date I've published over a hundred print and ebooks and presently have several books in various levels of completion.

Introduction

There are long lists of markets for ebooks and many ways to create them. There is no one best way, so the methods described herein are the ones I use for publishing my ebooks. They aren’t the only methods nor necessarily the best. However, I’ve used them successfully for years. As you read this ebook, you may well come up with ideas to improve upon the methods, and you are encouraged to do so.

The tools used to create the final manuscript for an ebook are the same as those used for creating a paperback book. Microsoft Word is the most common, and the one I use. There are other word processor and text creation applications that could work just as well including OpenOffice, a free office productivity suite, Microsoft Works, that often comes with a new computer.
