I have know Ewan since high school and he has always been the kind of guy who thinks outside the square, he is quite the photographer and a few of his Graphic designs have been made into t shirts. So the reason I made this post is 2 fold as I believe there is always something we can do to help people as there is something people can do to help us. Ewan has recently self published his first book called "Unique Words" its a collection of famous last words and inspirational quotes all presented in a visually dynamic way.
The reason I bring this to your attention is because I know there are a lot of creative and very talented writers on this forum and I think they should be published just like Ewan has done. The site he used to publish his book is called Blurb. From my very quick conversation with him on how h went about this it seems that once published through the site if in 15 days a hard copy is ordered the book stays on the site indefinitely.
So people wishing to finally have their very own book published, this is a great way to get that published book checked off your bucket list of things to do. The software is free to download and then once the book is complete you upload it to the site and you have 15 days to order a hard copy. As far as I can tell it links to Amazon automatically as well with multiple options for getting the book from ebook to pdf to hard cover.
Here is the link to my friends book:
au.blurb.com/b/6144197-unique-words
Please check it out and if you like the sample pages help a budding writer out.
I hope this has been inspirational and motivational to at least one other person to get some of their work self published. Given the technology there are no excuses for why we cant all be doing this and sharing the creative potential we all have. I have also invited Ewan to join the forum and he will be able to answer any questions you guys may have. I for one will be refining my short stories and hopefully make a book of them very soon. If nothing else this is one thing I can say I ticked off the list of things I have always wanted to do but never though I could.
"About the Book"
Unique Words is a personal project of quotes and words, created to inspire, encourage and make you smile. It all started with the above artwork at a time I was feeling flat and uninspired.
These are laid out in my own unique style and design.
This book features my unique quotes and words, famous last words from well known people, a personal project inspired after becoming a dad and undertaking commissioned work.
