The other week, I invited Smashwords authors and publishers to help their fellow authors by writing a "How to Publish an Ebook on Smashwords" blog post.32 authors and publishers below shared their smarts in an engaging and diverse collection of first-person tips, tricks and experiences.
For their effort, each will receive a collector's edition Smashwords coffee mug.
If you know an author who's not yet publishing ebooks, please share this collection with them. Used in concert with our Smashwords Style Guide (the ebook formatting bible for Smashwords), these posts will make their publishing adventure faster, simpler and more enjoyable.

The Customer Perspective
We received this submission from a Smashwords customer in France who blogs and writes book reviews under the name, TheSFReader. Although it's not a how-to for authors, it provides interesting perspective on why one avid ebook buyer shops first at Smashwords (and also provides copius suggestions for future Smashwords features, so thanks!).

My thanks to everyone above for taking the time to share their tips and tricks for the benefit of fellow authors, publishers and readers.
