For anyone struggling with formatting an ebook, I've found Mike Boxwell's 'Make an EBook' a useful guide.<br />Even so, I don't seem to be able to get the index right to please Smashwords with my Become a Writer book, even though it's okay on Amazon.Ann Evanshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09310566139408774783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2429560125838989988.post-53731981292390567282014-05-08T12:28:04.998+01:002014-05-08T12:28:04.998+01:00I agree with the comment - be prepared - make your...I agree with the comment - be prepared - make your decisions beforehand. I now have 5 books formatted for CreateSpace, 3 of them in print, and 2 where my finger is hovering over the publish button. I use the CreateSpace formatted templates, but it's a laborious process pasting in your book, one chapter at a time, however this ensures the headings are in the correct place and the numbers start and end when they should do. The other thing I've learned along the way is to have your book description and bio ready to paste in, this applies to KDP as well. The first time I published I was scrabbling about writing descriptions etc at the same time as trying to publish. Not a good idea, the description suffers from being too hurried.Chris Longmuirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02488093821886798927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2429560125838989988.post-68637109466987880282014-05-08T10:22:40.743+01:002014-05-08T10:22:40.743+01:00Thanks for that tip, Jo!Thanks for that tip, Jo!Susan Pricehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07738737493756183909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2429560125838989988.post-10144979941123115262014-05-08T10:15:53.801+01:002014-05-08T10:15:53.801+01:00I used Catherine Ryan Howard's book 'Self ...I used Catherine Ryan Howard's book 'Self Printed' - she's very bossy and repeats herself in places, but it is an idiot's guide to the techno stuff - both POD and digital.JOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03127111575563904349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2429560125838989988.post-86643619797825490822014-05-08T09:23:33.008+01:002014-05-08T09:23:33.008+01:00Thanks for this advice, Lynne - as someone who'...Thanks for this advice, Lynne - as someone who's considering dipping her toe in the water with Createspace, I might need it!Mari Biellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14221256993468150226noreply@blogger.com
