Im trying my hand at an Ebook, just one with a bunch (Im trying for 300) things to do with your children at home. Im not sure how I should word the intro, does it have to be done very proffessionally? Does it need all the copy write stuff or can I just do an intro then straight to the list?
Any help would be great.

I think you need some sort of intro even if it is only a paragraph or so. I wouldn't worry too much about making it professional (that varies so much anyway) Just be sure your spelling and grammar is correct and that will be enough for most readers. I would also put on it a disclaimer and a copyright thingy. It won't necessarily protect you but it will remind people that you own the content. Good luck with it!

Ok thanks for the reply. Do you have to pay for the disclaimer or is there a website you can just go and copy and paste from??

To be honest, most disclaimers are much the same... so it wouldn't hurt to "borrow ideas" from existing disclaimers, and tailor them to suit your own purposes.

You might also want to get a professional writer (such as Anne) to review the book once you have finished it, to give it anything it might be missing.

One of the first things i was taught in the business coaching I've done, was to negotiate all supplier contracts - and not discount. So being price concious seems like a smart move to me. If you're not doing it to make money, spend nothing. If you're doing it to make money, invest to make it worth your while. Keeping the ROI in sight. As for Anne's pricing, Anne'd be the person to ask

Hi Peppa. I did send you a reply. I wonder where it went. I always reply to emails so if you don't hear from me just check. Might it have gone to your spam folder?
