Powerful and desirable skills for authors, publishers, developers, and freelancers.
The e-book market is growing exponentially, and the EPUB format is a cross-platform standard. The adoption of and demand for e-books on iPads and other Apple devices is soaring. With over 2.5 million books on the iBooks Store, a number that is rising continually, the electronic book market is here to stay. This market presents an amazing opportunity not only for publishers, but independent authors and freelancers alike.
This unique and extensive course covers the entire scope of creating a multimedia EPUB iBook, from Apple support tools and sites, to a complete dissection of an EPUB project, to HTML and audio recording crash courses, to submitting, selling, and managing your final e-book.
Content and Overview
This course represents months of research, reading extensive
documents, examining files line-by-line, dissecting and creating projects, and
successfully publishing a children’s iBook, which we will use as the main
example throughout this course. Now let me show you how to do it in a fraction of the time!
We will not be using iBooks Author (or any EPUB creation software) in this course. Instead, I’ll show you how to do this by hand. But even if you already use WYSIWYG solutions to create EPUB files, this course will show you what is happening behind the scenes, and will give you the skills and felxibility to implement features that WYSIWYG solutions do not currently support. In this course I will be using screencast videos to show you exactly what I’m doing, with over 10 hours of lessons and practice challenges, documents, downloadable sample EPUB files, and more.
We will cover:
- Review and dissect a published children’s EPUB ebook, and other EPUB files
- A complete review of all Apple sites and tools including the iBooks App, iBooks Store, iTunesConnect, and iTunesProducer
- A crash course in HTML and style sheets (CSS)
- Zipping and unzipping EPUB files
- A detailed look at all EPUB files and folders, and all of their sections, definitions, properties, and values
- Image formatting
- Custom narration with read-along highlighting text, and background sounds
- A complete and extensive review of basic audio recording and editing
- Submitting a final book to the iBooks Store and selling your book globally
