Updates!\u00a0<\/strong>I’m rebuilding this site and making a new package of book formatting templates. I hope my free resources help you to format and publish your book! Personally, however, this is way too much work, so I now use Vellum<\/a> for all my book formatting. It’s for Mac, but you can use it on a PC<\/a>.

But if you do plan to use word, I have a new batch of awesome genre-specific templates and will soon start selling genre-packages for $37 each… you can get everything together with my Black Friday Deal!<\/p>\n

This free video workshop is a 10-step series on book formatting in Microsoft Word.<\/strong>
We’ll go through everything you need to do to format a book from scratch for print-ready PDFs you can use with print on demand publishing services like Createspace or Lightning Source.<\/p>\n

I used Word 2016 for these videos, but almost all the features are identical to earlier version of Word. You can start your own document from scratch, or download our free package<\/strong> of formatting templates<\/a> to get started quickly.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n
