Writing on my first ebook

January 28, 2009 by Louise 79 Comments

I am really excited about this because I have decided to try and write my first ebook. Many of you have said that I should write a book, and I must admit a real book would be fantastic. But since it is my first time “writing” I have thought of just starting off with an ebook to see if this turns out good or bad.

So I am already piled up with notes everywhere and many thoughts runs through my head at the moment. I have decided to place my energy on where my strenght is and that is to make tutorials. Everytime I post a new tutorial I get so many encouraging comments on how well detailed they are so I must be doing the right thing?

To keep it simple the first ebook will be about Easter treats and decorations. So it will not be a cookbook with recipes but more about how to make sweet decorations the CakeJournal way. I am already working on the sweetest Easter bunny cookie bouquet with a very cute bunny template and you will find inspiration on how to present the treats for gifts aswell.

I hope that this sounds good? and that you are all just as excited as I am. I will do my best to keep track with email, comments and posts on CakeJournal beside my writing on my very first ebook πŸ™‚

Happy Caking

Louise

    I think it’s wonderful that you’re writing an e-book! If you do decided to go the self-publising route, you might find this useful and hopeful article on self-published authors from the New York Times.

    That’s really exciting news – I’m happy to hear it’s an e-book as I’m over in London so it’s good to know I’ll definitely be able to get hold of a copy.

    I think you’re going to have to write fast though in order to get it out in time for Easter? Have you thought about maybe including some other holidays too to make it applicable all year round?

    Either way, I’m sure it will be fantastic and I very much look forward to reading it!

    Best wishes,

    There is a great site to publish your e-book at: https://www.youcanmakethis.com/index.htm

    You then charge a fee for each person who “purchases” your e-book. Just a thought.

    I’m looking forward to it. I just removed from my oven the giant cupcake cake from Wilton. I can’t wait to decorate it.
