If you’ve known me a while, you’re probably aware that I’ve had a website since 1997 (when we undoubtedly spelled it “web site”) to spread the word about my books, plays, essays, KQED Perspectives and Palo Alto Weekly book reviews. When I joined Twitter in 2009 I said that I skipped the blogging stage and went to microblogging. I’ve enjoyed reading certain blogs—especially on the craft of writing—I found through Twitter and also by writers I know in real life, but I never felt the need to add more than my 140 characters.

Then last winter I decided to publish my first middle-grade novel as an eBook. In the six months between taking my first webinar and publishing Caller Number Nine, I learned a lot about publishing an eBook that I’m eager to pass on to other writers. And that takes more than 140 characters.

In the spring I completely revamped my website with the help of a terrific local designer. Carol is also helping me launch this blog.

I already have pages of topics to cover in my new blog. What would you like to know about publishing an eBook?
