Want to learn how to format your book and do more customization? Check out my book formatting course: bit.ly/formattingcourse
From start to finish. You made the process so seamless. This was the first/last video I came across that instruction gave me exactly if not more than I needed. I'm beyond grateful. God bless you for your help and straight to the point tutorial.
I appreciate this video so much it's got me right at the edge of the finishing touches for my first ebook, thank you!
Thank you Mandi. I really enjoyed your tutorial. It was very informative and insightful.
Thank you for posting and sharing. Very informative and helpful information.
Would have been nice if you had shown how to highlight the chapters, so a reader can go to a specific place in the book. Overall a nice vid though.
Omg thank you so much for this video, I was going to ask you about this exact subject, as I had uploaded a word document to D2D with full formatting before I uploaded it and couldn’t figure out why it was messed up on D2D now I know.
Watching your tutorial & learning a lot.thnx for sharing 👍
Excellent video! Thanks for showing us. This is so useful!
This video particular for EBOOK formatting using Draft2Digital
Thanks this is exactly what I needed
Thank you very much!!!
Mindi, I have a question. I chose to enlist my book on all platforms. My question is: Would I have to individually do a Tax and Bank info for each platform? Thank you in Advance.
Hi, I watch your videos all the time. I love them btw! You did say very basic formatting.....is there any place holders, I mean by that is....section breaks before a new chapter begins. To separate the pages.....? thanks. Eva J Mejia
Hello. I have an epub formatted for a novel. But there is an extra space after each paragpaph. Is it linked to epub format or it can be changed when formatting it ? Many thanks
Thanks. Then I can read them by using Immersive Translate.
I have a question, Mandi Lynn. I know that you have a book cover service that you provide, but do you have a book promotion video service as well? I've seen Bethanny's book video and I'd kill for something like it, and I know you have a video on how to make one yourself, but I'm a total techno-phobe without any computer skills in need of some who knows what they're doing. Just asking.
So quick question. If I already have an LLC which is not related to my writing but may be eventually should I use it or not?
Do Draft 2 Digital charge for this software? You show it being used to produce an EPUB file for distributing elsewhere. Do they charge you for that? If you distribute through them, does that cost money?
I dont like the Fonts and Font size of Draft2digital. It also changed the line spacing . I did all the formatting in MS Word and D2D changed all that upon upload. What can i do if i wish to retain my formatting?
Have you ever added a "text message" in your text? I've had a hard time separating a text message from the regular text.
Smart and pretty.
Thank you.
2 days ago amazon closed my account. I don't know the reason. I never did anything wrong on purpose. I sent them 2 e-mails to inquire about the issue. I haven't received any response yet. I'm really sorry. I came across your online book markets comparison video while in an anxiety state. There was hope. I'm not an American, I don't know anything about American markets. English is my second language and I've been fighting to exist on amazon for 4 months. I watched hundreds of videos to improve myself and this sad situation happened to me. I didn't deserve this.😌Thanks for the videos.At least l don't feel deep depress anymore
What is "draft to digital"? Is that a program I need to buy?
I have a question about your course please; I'm scanning pages from a old book, with line drawings, text blocks etc. to reformat. I used to do this in AA DC. Do you cover this in your course? Thank you

The course only covers how to import a Word document and format it in InDesign. If you wanted to do that, you’d have to convert it to a Word document first
On Amazon I cant seem to get my text to fit inside the pages when i launch a preview sometimes the text bleeds over into the next page ?? how do i change this

If someone never used indesign before, would your book formatting course be the best place to start to learn how to format an ebook?

Pay someone else to do it. That’s the easiest way. You interested? 74 pages. You’d like it.
