Let me begin by introducing myself to you. My name is Ginger Marks and I am the founder of a writing & presentational design studio aptly named DocUmeant. I have been writing in one form or another for over 30 years.

You may decide to offer both versions and in that case you should know each has its own distinct software which you will need to learn to use.
Having worked with and compiled both Palm and PDF forms I can assure you there is still
So get started; pick up your pen and put your thoughts in order. Next time we will discuss the available eBook software and their nuances. Until then.
