How to Format Your Self-Published Book How to Format Your Self-Published Book by Moira Allen Return to DIY Publishing · Print/Mobile-Friendly Version As children, we were advised, "Don't judge a book by its cover!" Yet this is precisely what we do in nearly every area of life --especially when it comes to books! If you're contemplating self-publishing--whether via a print-on-demand or traditional printer--it's vital to keep that in mind. Unfortunately, getting a good cover often does mean hiring a pro -- but fortunately, you don't have to shell out big bucks to make the interior of your book look good! Step 1: Proofread! A professional "look" won't save a book riddled with errors. Step 2: Look at a Book! I'm always amazed by books produced by authors who apparently never noticed what a professionally published book looks like! One of the most common "DIY" errors I see in self-published books is double-spacing between paragraphs. Step 3: Establish Your Format Now it's time to set up a basic layout for the interior of your book.

Comparison of e-book formats The following is a comparison of e-book formats used to create and publish e-books. The EPUB format is the most widely supported vendor-independent XML-based (as opposed to PDF) e-book format; that is, it is supported by the largest number of e-Readers, including Amazon Kindle Fire (but not standard Kindle).[1] See table below for details. Format descriptions[edit] Formats available include, but are not limited to: Broadband eBooks (BBeB)[edit] Comic Book Archive file[edit] Compiled HTML[edit] CHM format is a proprietary format based on HTML. DAISY – ANSI/NISO Z39.86[edit] The Digital Accessible Information SYstem (DAISY) is an XML-based open standard published by the National Information Standards Organization (NISO) and maintained by the DAISY Consortium for people with print disabilities. DAISY is already aligned with the EPUB technical standard, and is expected to fully converge with its forthcoming EPUB3 revision.[3] DjVu[edit] DjVu is a format specialized for storing scanned documents.

I know that there are lots of do-it-yourselfers who are self-publishers, and there are also authors who are buying services from professionals. I wanted to create a presentation that would give both kinds of authors useful information. Since I’ve been judging book covers for a long time (and hundreds more in the monthly Ebook Cover Design Awards) I know how difficult it can be for an author to see her book cover objectively. Especially for first-time authors, it can be a real and difficult challenge to step back and try to see your book cover as a selling vehicle for your book, and not as an extension of your own identity. Your Book Cover Has a Job to Do (or Maybe 5) Taking that vast variety into account, and confining myself to books that their authors hope to sell commercially, it seemed like there were 5 separate tasks your book cover has to accomplish:

How to publish your own book Internet pundits predict that pretty soon everyone in the world will publish his or her own book. This will be ushered by the advent of e-publishing, with the author simply uploading his or her text on the Net and having the e-publisher format it into, say, an e-matter or an e-book. Then, for a low price, anybody with Internet connection can simply download the book. This is really a great development. For now, allow me to discuss how to self-publish your book, that is, your real book--not an e-book. Think of it early on as a marketing game. That said, let's proceed with the finished text. Neither do I recommend typing up your text on that good old typewriter because you definitely can't mass-produce it that way. Have you edited your text? Once you finally attain confidence with your text, you can proceed to the next step--transforming your text into book form. You see, Microsoft Publisher will not automatically paginate the pages for you in the right sequence.
