title: DIY Publishing: A step-by-step guide for print and ebook formatting and distribution
author: Maggie McVay Lynch
description: Dr. Maggie McVay Lynch is an acclaimed technology teacher and academic computing executive who spent over 30 years in education and computing. After initial careers in corporate technology training, she spent eight years in executive management with two major software companies. Returning to graduate school later in life, she completed her doctorate degree in education, and then transferred her technology and teaching skills to Academia where she served in positions from Professor to Dean and eventually Chief Information Officer. She ended her career by consulting for both large and small universities, working with teachers and executives to identify appropriate technology for their needs. Lynch has previously authored four textbooks by major publishers in London and NY. Also a fiction writer, she realized that far too many writers were choosing to self-publish by paying hundreds (and sometimes thousands) of dollars for technical assistance when they could learn to do it for under $50. This book is the result of helping other writers learn the technology.
