Smashwords: A Smashing Free Way to Publish Online

For writers with unpublished writings, Smashwords offers a free publishing and distribution tool to immediately place your work online and ready for buyers.

As with most sites, you will develop a user name and password. Then, plan to sit down with a nice cup of tea or coffee and read through the free online publication guide, titled Smashwords Style Guide by Mark Coker. The guide reads quickly despite its 80 plus pages. Taken in chunks, the guide makes the publication process clear and as painless as possible.

Smashwords also provides a Marketing Guide to help writers plan a course of marketing their books.

While all online publishing has quirks, many writers have begun publishing on Smashwords so their writing is available and easy to find.
