Essential10 Author Guide
All You Need To Know™
This is the Essential10 Author Guide. On this page you will find instructions for becoming an Essential10 Author, uploading your books, checking your earnings, managing your Author Page, and getting support.
Becoming an Essential10 Author
The first step is to purchase an Author Package. The Author Package establishes you as an Essential10 Author, and it is where you purchase a publishing package for your first book. You also have the option to create your Author Page, which is your public profile in the Essential10 Bookstore. Your Author Page is a great way to market your books and increase your visibility!
Creating Books
There are three ways to get your books into the Essential10 Bookstore.
| Author Package | Required. |
| Book Package | Once you are an Essential10 Author, you can add additional titles without buying another author package, because you're already an author! |
| Revise Your Book | Essential10 allows you to update your previously uploaded books with new content whenever you like. There is a small fee to cover formatting and re-uploading. Revisions will update your content in the bookstore and become available to your customers through our eReader device support. |
Formatting and Uploading your Books
In order to upload your book properly, it must be formatted according to our standards. This way we can prepare your book for viewing on all supported devices. Please use these guides to write your Essential10 book.
- Guide to Writing Your Essential10 Book - Helpful tips
- Essential10 Document Template (You must use this template to submit your Essential10 book unless you purchased QuickPublish option.)
Author Control Panel
The Author Control Panel is your home page when you are logged in to Essential10. From the control panel you can view and update your books, add new books, check your reports, manage your Author Page, and manage your account.
