Formatting the book
Not only am I the author, but I am also pretending to be the publisher! So after all the work of writing is and editing is done, I then have to format the book so that it is ready to be uploaded onto Amazon’s site. I used the program Vellum to help me out with the formatting. I started by importing a Word file and then it gave its best shot at finding chapter breaks. I gave it a pat on the back and then went in and redid all the breaks it messed up on. The final product is the result of Vellum’s nice formatting and my guiding it so it knows what is a chapter, forward, etc. Once everything is complete I am able to generate files that can be uploaded for Kindle, print, or other ebooks.
