Thanks for your comment about Katy's Story. I have them assembled into a 32-page , non-illustrated book. I made them for family and a few of Katy's old friends for Xmas. But they cost $10 apiece at the printers here where I live - too expensive. However, I am planning on offering the "e-book" version free. I would email a .pdf file and readers could. print it out themselves on their home printers.

You might think about exporting the book as ePub, Sharron; that makes it easy to upload the content to Amazon Kindle (the cover graphic and summation are left as an exercise to the student, however 😉). I used Apple's Pages app, which makes ePub generation trivial (Apple also has a Books app, so it's in their best interest to encourage writers to post books on the store). Just a thought, but it would make it easier for some people to read, and you might be able to charge $1.99 each or whatever.

Great advice, Jack. I will definitely look into the possibilities. I assume any 13-year-old could navigate the ins and outs of these applications. I surely couldn't.

<cough> Actually, I was totally flummoxed by Amazon’s Kindle online app… until a fellow Medium writer pointed out how Kindle can import ePub files directly, suddenly my book stopped looking like crap.
