- Come up with an idea. The most important thing on writing an eBook is to decide on, and develop, an idea for an eBook. The basic way to do this is to sit down and write a brief phrase or sentence that encapsulates the information you'd like to put in your book. Once you have that, you can build on it to create a finished product.
- Expand your idea. Start with the basic idea you wrote down, and think about different aspects of it. It may be helpful for you to draw a web of concepts to do this. For example, let's say you wanted to write a book about tennis for beginners. You could write down things like “manner of play,” “tennis shots,” and “tennis equippment.”
- Organize your details. After developing and expanding your core idea, you should have a lot of information about your basic topic written down. Rearrange and organize it in a vertical outline until it makes sense to you and matches the way you'd like your book to flow. Think in terms of what your audience will need to know first, and put basics at the beginning. Once those have been covered, more advanced concepts can follow without losing the reader.
- And now is time to Write Your Book!

Great easy approach to e-book development Rebecca. I like your first foray from philosophy to practical advice.
An important addition is to bring visuals (from Pixabay or elsewhere) into your book, There should be a visual map of image placement to go with your text outline. Will very much like to see the finished product if you are pursuing it!
