This video is a basic rundown of some things to know when formatting a manuscript for self publishing.
I am a self-published author, and have been working in the publishing industry for the past five years. This video is just a few little tips I've picked up while in college and in the field.

Thanks for making this tutorial. I've searched for a long time for a video like this, that clearly explains how to format the pages. I have a book that I wrote by hand in late 2015, and today I feel more confident that I'll be a be able to have it published.

I find that the video was very straight to the point, with detailed information that was really what I was searching for. I maybe able to write my book for self publishing. I am so happy to have a video to learn from. The easy of the words used made the commentary seem easy. The accent made me feel so welcoming. Thank you so much. Now I am considering reading your books.

I figured out the Microsoft Word for Windows issue with the page numbers. When you're trying to "push down" the page number so it doesn't show when printed, make sure you select the text on the pages you want to edit. Afterwards, you need to go to "page layout", then "margins" and scroll down to where the custom setting option is. Once you're there, go to "layout" and then you should see two things with the header and footer. Make sure the inches are set at zero, and also make sure you apply to the selected text at the "apply to" option at the bottom. Once you're done, just click "ok".

How do you transfer your working pages onto this template? I guess you can use this template as a working background. Also, I could not open the website as shown on this video.

First thing- are we related? XD. Anyways, I'm trying to get rid of the headers and page numbers from my front page, copyright, table of contents, but I cant seem to do so. Also, what line spacing did you use to print your book? Im in the processing of re-editng my book, but I can't seem to figure out what I should use.

Hi Rebecca hopefully your still here... what did you mean when you referred to “editors” do I entrust my book to editors and is it safe to entrust my book to someone on fiver to take part in ghost writing so as to put some finishing touches to it? Thank you

I'm having the dandiest time! I did all my formatting , or TRIED TO, as I worked on my edits. No. Not working. Unless having a nervous breakdown is big for you. SO, I have to start from . As far as font size, can I do 14?

I've been trying to copy text from one doc to another but when I do I have all kinds of spaces that I can't seem to remove. It would look something like this. Staying there for a few days turned into a few months as we got along great. I told her I would love to live here but if I do sell my house and it doesn’t work, where does that leave me?

Does anyone know how to get rid of the header and footer with Windows Microsoft Word? I don't have a "format" tab or "document" tab that I can see on my version, and every time I try to put the header and footer at zero the text just disappears. :/

this seems like a big ordeal. Anyway I can opt out of the physical book and just publish an Kindle book and then submit that(I understand,,its necessary) to Audible. Also if I change my mind and come back to this later can I add a few things to the submission and make it better suited for a physical book to be published later. I want to move forward with things.

Just as they copied it. If you read copyright pages...it's like they're all from half a dozen originals. Everyone does it. There are only so many variances.

I'm sorry but the editing format of the book is horrible! The lines of text do not match at the end of the paragraph!
