A digital book with your own name is a fast and professional way to enter the world of writing. A digital book with your name is a practical and effective way to present your expertise, increase your professional credibility, and expand your audience. Many experts, entrepreneurs, teachers, and fans of personal growth dream of writing a book, but the thought of the complicated publishing process makes them give up early. UAV Publications makes this path short, clear, and professional for you. In this text, we explain the steps of writing, preparation, and publishing, and the critical points after releasing the digital book, in clear, complete terms, so you know what to do and what each stage needs and expects.
Why is publishing a digital book with your own name valuable?
Having a book that shows your name as the author is not only a symbol. It is a marketing tool, proof of expertise, and a social asset. A digital book can increase your credibility in the short term and become a source of income, customer attraction, or invitations to educational events in the long term. Unlike common belief, digital publishing offers controllable speed and cost, and updating content is easier. UAV Publications manages the technical and legal process so you can focus only on your content and message.
How is a digital book with your own name published?
Professional publishing means your book is released in a standard, readable format across all devices and that ownership information and metadata are recorded correctly. The general process includes preparing epub and PDF files, designing a cover in the required sizes, creating metadata including title, subtitle, summary, category, and keywords, and then uploading and following up on platform approvals. UAV Publications performs all these steps in accordance with local platform standards and delivers a final product that displays correctly in stores and readers.
Writing the book by yourself or with professional support
Writing is the most important and also the most challenging part. There are two main paths:
- Writing by the author: If you have time and writing skills, you should prepare the outline, chapters, and sample sections, and then complete the text with a regular plan. This method brings the best version of your voice to the reader.
- Outsourcing to a writer or co-writer: If you do not have time or experience, you can hand off the writing process to the content team at the publishing house. In this case, you provide your ideas, sources, and preferred tone, and they do the writing, rewriting, and content development.
In both methods, having a clear structure, defining the target audience, and choosing the key message will make editing and layout faster.
Features of a standard text for digital publishing
The book text that will be published under your name should have:
- A professional and logical structure that keeps the reader engaged. Chapters and subtitles must be clear.
- Content coherence. Each chapter should follow one main idea and avoid repetition or distraction.
- A consistent tone suitable for the audience. You may choose formal, semi-formal, or conversational depending on the target reader.
- Preserving the author’s identity. Even if the team writes the text, your voice must be clear.
- Respecting publishing rules. This includes referencing, avoiding copyright violations, and following ethical principles.
The UAV Publications content team can create a complete, professional book from your outline, audio, or video.
How much does producing a book cost?
Below is the complete list of items you should consider in your budget:
- Writing the book: Writing includes research, gathering sources, drafting, and revising. If you outsource, the complexity of the topic and the number of revisions affect the cost.
- Editing may include content, language, and technical editing. Each one needs time and expertise. Content editing for expert topics needs an editor in the same field.
- Layout design: Digital layout is more than converting text to an EPUB. It includes choosing readable fonts, setting title styles, creating a dynamic table of contents, matching images with text, and preparing the PDF for correct display.
- Cover design: The cover is the first point of contact with the reader. A professional cover includes visual research, typography, image combination, and preparing different sizes.
- Illustration and charts: Educational, technical, or story books may need illustrations, infographics, or visual tables.
- Technical publishing and device testing: Preparing different formats (EPUB, MOBI, PDF), testing on apps and devices, fixing display issues, and checking metadata.
- Licenses and identifiers: Registering ownership, obtaining an ISBN, FIPA, or similar IDs, and completing administrative steps.
- Publishing and distribution on platforms: Uploading, completing product pages, contracts with platforms, and follow-up for approval.
Book page on the publisher website and initial marketing: Creating the introduction page, summary, author bio, banners, and posting on social media and email marketing.
The importance of editing and its types
Editing turns a raw text into a professional work. There are three main types:
- Structural editing: Checks organization, logic, and chapter placement, removes or merges extra parts, and ensures logical flow.
- Literary editing: Improves writing style, makes sentences smooth, removes repetition, and adjusts tone.
- Technical and spelling editing: Fixes grammar, language rules, punctuation, and spelling.
Each step is necessary for quality and readability and may be done alone or together.
Publishing the book on the publisher’s website and reader platforms
Publishing on the Pahpad Publishing website means having a dedicated page, correct metadata, a preview, and reference links. Then the files are sent to digital reading platforms based on their standards. Each platform may need special cover sizes and metadata. Broad publishing increases visibility and income.
Licenses and legal issues of publishing
Ownership registration, ISBN, and, if needed, FIPA or other licenses are part of the official publishing process. If you use content from others or foreign copyrighted material, you need permission before publishing. The legal team of Pahpad Publishing helps with licenses and publishing contracts.
How long does the project take
The timeline depends on complexity and services, but the usual range is 2 to 6 months:
- Phase one: Planning and initial sample, up to two weeks.
- Phase two: Writing or completing the text, from a few weeks to a few months.
- Phase three: Editing and revisions, usually a few weeks to one month.
- Phase four: Layout and cover design, one to three weeks.
- Phase five: Technical publishing and testing, one to two weeks.
- Phase six: Sending to platforms and physical printing, from a few days to a few weeks.
The duration depends on the author’s feedback, the number of revisions, and project complexity.
