Download or read book Format Your Book written by Mark Stattelman and published by . This book was released on 2020-06-19 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: FORMAT YOUR BOOK FOR AMAZON USING MICROSOFT WORD! Don't pay for formatting.This book breaks it all down. You'll be formatting your manuscript in record time. This book has it all nicely laid out. You know what you need? Just go straight to the section you need. Do something and a page number disappears? I'll tell you exactly what clicks to make to get it back. Change a header for one section or chapter and all of the chapters following that one change? Not what you intended, right? I'll tell you how to fix it. It took me almost a month to figure out how to format my first book in Microsoft Word. It was frustrating. Strange things would happen with the text and I couldn't figure out why, or how to fix it. I watched a ton of YouTube videos to pick up a suggestion here and there from each video. Eventually, after days and weeks, I had a general idea of where to look for the problem. I then had to figure out exactly how to fix that problem. I wanted to pull my hair out. But finally, I got that first book formatted, and then the second, third, etc. Things got a little easier. I knew exactly where the trouble spots would be, and I generally knew how to fix the problem. I do now anyway. Are there still glitches? Absolutely. I'm certainly not an expert, but I can get the job done in a reasonable amount of time. I'm working on shortening that time even more. And I'm trying to shorten the time for you. No one should have to just muddle through and spend weeks trying to solve what could be a very simple problem if that person just knew what to click on next.The most you'll have to do is figure out what type of font to use, or the trim size you want, etc. All the rest will be pretty much just a matter of you flipping to the correct section. Want to add a header? It's there. Along with showing you how to format in Word, I show you the basic ins and outs of Kindle Create. A little effort up front and you're on your way. Don't pay someone else to do a job you can do yourself! Format your own book exactly how you want.
Download or read book Firefly Magic written by Lauren Sapala and published by Lauren Sapala. This book was released on 2018-04-30 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lauren Sapala coached Highly Sensitive Writers for years before she discovered one of the biggest obstacles holding them back in their writing careers: a rock-solid resistance to marketing. Regardless of the wealth of book marketing tools and resources available to writers and artists today, most highly creative people still feel suspicious, confused, or just plain turned off by marketing and sales. The hidden reason behind this resistance is a deeply rooted fear that marketing for writers always results in a loss of integrity for the writer. Almost all highly creative people are also Highly Sensitive People, many of which are INFJ or INFP personality types. These Highly Sensitive Writers feel any possible threat to their integrity intensely. The fear they feel around marketing takes root in limiting beliefs that shut them down before they even begin. Lauren Sapala shares stories and strategies to help Highly Sensitive Writers shift their mindset and open up to new ways to promote their work. She helps all writers realize that—due to their Highly Sensitive nature—they might just make the best salespeople of all.
