Having worked as a marketing manager in London during the nineties, where he also completed his Postgraduate Diploma in Marketing, David decided to leave the rat race in 2000, head east and forge a new career as an online marketer. It was during this time that he published his first book.

As a British ex-pat living in Slovakia, David has set up online businesses and written non-fiction books in a number of different niches, most notably freelance translating, ESL and all things Slovak. He also taught Business English to Slovak companies and private individuals and lectured at universities and other educational institutions, where he developed his passion for teaching.

In the last few years, from his mountain home in the heart of Europe, David has primarily focused on print on demand and self-publishing, during which time he has created over 5,000 designs and published over 1,000 books. In addition to this, David has taught online courses to over 50,000 students, mainly in the print on demand and self-publishing niches, and is currently half-way through writing his first series of YA fiction novels.

too much duplicate content with your other ebook course

By Pedro J. Ramirez on 3/3/2019

Muy bien. Va paso a paso. Fcil de entender.

By Patricia Lambert on 3/22/2017

So far, so good.

By Pattie Barnett on 11/2/2016

As usual, David's delivery of "Formatting EBooks" course is excellent however I also took David's other course
"Scrivener - Unlock The Power Of Your Book Writing Software"
which I found most of it was the same information except after Lesson 5. The information about formatting and validating was new and valuable.

By Mark Warner on 10/27/2016

Very good explanation of formating process.

By Kz on 8/17/2016

The "class" seems disjointed. Sometimes one lecture will continue seemless to another lecture. Other times, there is a "hello" at the beginning of a lecture. The volume seems to change or perhaps it was microphone placement. I suspect the lectures in this course were not all made specifically for this course. The material is okay, not great if you are already using Scrivener.
I found this course to be mostly one big advertisement for the Instructor. What's worse is that I paid for the advertisement. Some advertising is fine, but this for me was too much.

This course is very useful and for me required a lot of start / stop / start again as I tried to emulate the instructions.

I am helping retired authors get their books upgraded to E-books. This course was very comprehensive and it will help me help others.

By Dawn Jasper-Herndon on 3/10/2016

I have been struggling to format my eBook for a while now, so this course has come along at the right time.
I have heard a lot said about the writing tool, Scrivener, but I did not realise you could format your books with it. David delivers a well structured course that gives step-by-step instructions which I was able to follow easily.
I also found the section on Front and Back matter to be a real eye opener and something that I am definitely going to incorporate into my book.
