With a new year comes a new course, and one we hope you’re excited about! Today we launch eBook Training with InDesign, a course we have developed to meet the demand for guidance on creating eBooks from scratch and publishing them – ideal for writers and marketers alike who want to self-publish digital content that meets the industry guidelines.

Our InDesign eBook Training Course is a 1 day course and costs £295 + vat. To cover everything you need to create eBooks in 1 day we assume prior knowledge and experience with Adobe InDesign. If you’re an InDesign beginner but still want to come on the course then you can also book our 2-day InDesign course as a package for just £595 + vat (normally £740 + vat)!

InDesign eBook Training Course Dates

Our upcoming Brighton dates for the eBook course are:

• 25th March 2013
• 10th May 2013
• 19th June 2013

If you can’t make those dates or wish to arrange in-company training then don’t hesitate to ring 01273 622272 to arrange a quote for a private course.

Why InDesign & ePub?

On our eBook training course you will be using Adobe InDesign to create eBooks in the ePub format. While there are a number of free tools to use to quickly create eBooks, nothing gives you the freedom of control over your work that InDesign is capable of. As well as being the industry standard tool for document layout, the latest versions of InDesign (this course runs on CS6) are full of features for making sure your eBooks meet the best practice guidelines for digital publishing.

We use the ePub format because it is the most widely recognised format for eBooks and is based on web standards. All major eBook distributors allow you to submit ePub documents, although some do convert to their own format before entering the market (including Amazon’s Kindle). On the course we will discuss the other options available and go into more detail as to why we chose ePub.

Types of eBook

50 Shades of Grey may have launched eBooks into the mainstream last year, but you can publish almost any content through ePub, including:

• Whitepapers
• Research Results
• Marketing Materials
• Journals
• Guides
• Novels
• Collections

In fact, any form of written content can be turned into an eBook and self-published through the many eBook markets (Kindle Store, iBookstore etc.) to then be read on eReaders, tablets and smartphones.

It’s a great marketing tool for individuals and business owners alike, and by learning to self-publish you have complete control over your content, and don’t have to hire a designer every time you want to publish an eBook!

If you have any questions about the course, or want to book your place onto the first sessions then please call us on 01273 622272 or email info@siliconbeachtraining.co.uk
