Book publishing & video production

Recommended Posts

My wife is considering beginning a project of writing a book that would also have a multimedia component, Does anyone have experience with either publishing or video production? We are at the very beginning on this and other than most likely needing a lawyer engaged due to a partner being involved we are looking for any advice we can get.

there are 2 options that we can see at this point., one being an e-book and one being a paper book with a digital component (web based, subscription). Looking to see what is the best software / platform to use for the written portion as well as any information on video production as this is a "how to" project. The partner that she is working with brings a potential global market in to play from his  contacts and professional reputation.

Sounds like a possible kindle book on Amazon.

This would allow you to have a standard format and distribution network as well.

Types of Formats

Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP) lets you upload and convert your final draft from several formats. For best results, we recommend that you upload in DOC/DOCX (.doc/.docx) or HTML (.html) format. Be sure to read through the tips below for your preferred format prior to publishing your work with KDP.

We accept the following formats:
 

Your video product could be linked to from the book using standard hyperlinks (HTML).

Not so sure how you would enforce the pay-to-play part on the website. That's another can of worms to play with.

On the other hand making a decision on one thing might solve the other thing by itself.
