Also, another idea for adding subscribers easily: Every time I send an email, often in reply to one I've received, I take the opportunity to include a link and invite the sender to visit my blog. It seems obvious but I've quadripuled my readers in a short time with very little effort.

I've been editing books for publishers and individual authors for years, frequently also providing camera-ready copy for printing. The last couple of years have brought more clients who want to publish by POD. Last year I began preparing ebook files for submission to Kindle and Smashwords.

I do publishing consultations as well, primarily to help authors decide which route to take and doing a bit of hand holding during the development of their books.

My experience with BookNook.biz has been excellent so far, though my challenge for them is PDF conversion. I see now why PDFs are far more complex than converting straight Word content, and why Smashwords doesn't choose to convert PDFs! BookNook.biz has been taking a lot of time with me, explaining things in detailed email and generally being very responsive. I think BookNook mainly converts fiction, but they are enthusiastic about more heavily formatted non-fiction books as well. What is your role with your clients, what services do you offer?

For the ebooks I've worked on so far, I've used Smashwords and Kindle Direct Publishing via a LiberWriter conversion. However, I have two clients with children's picture books and an illustrated nonfiction book I'm currently finishing myself. I've been following Smashwords' recommendations to insert art in Word as In Line with Text, though that will probably too limited for many future projects.

My manuscript is getting its final polishing and the designer will be giving me a PDF file (among others), so I can go anywhere. My heart says BookBaby; my business-brain says CreateSpace.
