Self-Publishing 101 Episode #5

Welcome to this week's episode of Self-Publishing 101. We're going to be discussing formatting for Print. I'm going to use Createspace as our example, however I am also including links for other print distributors. And, here we go...
Screen shots
#1
This is the screen on Createspace that you will see when you are starting a new title.

#2

This is honestly super simple. Just insert the unique responses that will correspond to your books.

#3
The formatted template is available for download from this page. Please, remember to choose the correct size that you want your book BEFORE you download the template.

#4

Here is where you will upload your completed book document.
#5

Make sure you read, and re-read what you enter for mispellings, missing words, etc.
#6

Here is where you will start uploading your cover or creating one online.

#7

You need to fill each of these in while your files are in review.

#8

This is what the formatted template looks like in your Microsoft Word. See what I mean about easy? You just replace what they have with your books contents.

#9

Remember, what I talked about with the chapters and from chapter 10 on you'll need to page break the chapters.
