What this class isn't about:
Writing Ebooks
An ebook is a text that could be produced in a book form, but is delivered electronically.
The kind of writing required for this is the same as for any print book. You can learn your trade in any writing workshop. You just need to know where to go to pur your book online when you've finished it.
