If I may contribute some shortcuts: You can actually just Select All and hit fully justify instead of searching through and selecting each chapter. Also remember the Find/Replace feature to globally delete excess paragraph returns, etc. To find all the chapter titles at once and convert them to Heading 1 (or whichever style you want to assign), tell Word to find all text in that font (ensure you add bold if it is bold, etc.), then globally change to Heading 1.
@@joanbondar Thank you for replying. I have dozens of books laying on the shelf that will begin to fly off of the shelf to Kindle as soon as possible. Many were written sometime ago, but speak to our current state of affairs. Thanks again for sharing-caring.
Just wonderful, I been tryin to find out about "publish your work" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you ever come across - Quonor Publish Peneplanation - (should be on google have a look ) ? Ive heard some extraordinary things about it and my colleague got great results with it.

Thanks so much for easing the whole process of self-publishing. I erased my hesitance right away, and finished formatting my first ever e-book in a couple of hours, thanks to you!
I've published my first paper back on KDP. Manuscript was uploaded July 6. Just needed this little tip to upload manuscript to Kindle ebook. Thanks so much.
THANK YOU! your video saved me the biggest migraine. I couldn't figure out my formatting error until I watched your video. Brain cell saver lol! thanks again.
Wow thank you so much for sharing! I've paid people to format my Kindle ebooks and they all look a hot mess. I would even pay different people to fix it and they still will change all of my font and format completely. They would even lowercase some of my letters. It drove me crazy. I always wanted to do it myself but had no idea where to start. I figured I could do it because it seems like an easy job because it would get done quick. I'm pretty tech savvy so I knew I could one day figure it out. I'm incredibly thankful for your video! I was able to format my book this morning in just a few minutes. KDP even revealed my grammatical errors so I could easily fix them and not have to tiredly search. I'm so happy! Thank you!
You are Brilliant! Reading tutorials, watching other videos - nothing helped me conquer that rotten clickable TOC till I found your video. You went step by step and didn't add in a lot of unnecessary talk. I've subscribed and will keep watching. Thanks so much.
This helped soooo much. Thank you so much!!!I I'm a novice author so being able to format my own ebook saves money in the process and makes me feel more confident and competent in knowing I have these basic skills to excel further. Again, thank you!
I am going to start my journey with Amazon KDP and am currently doing my research. You guidance was one more leap forward. I was baffled but now am confident. Thank you with my heart Emeka Ossai.
Hi Emeka! I am writing to this version of you (because the current you feels miles ahead already, though that's certainly where I wanna be as well). Thank you for this content. I just published my first ebook today, using your videos as guide... This video is a very helpful guide for formatting. Thank you so much!
Totally love your video as I want to be a self publishing author and release my book that I have now manuscript on Microsoft 365 Word and ready to put on Amazon Kindle KDP. Still have to get my ISBN numbers on Kindle. Just working on the eBook now and creating covers for both the soft paperback and hardcover book. Thank a ton for the priceless info. Create yourself a beautiful day, I know I will.
I remember paying to get my kindle book formatted for the first time. When I saw the simple stuff they did, I realized it wasn't something that people need to be hired for and used google to learn how to do the formatting in google docs. Glad you made a video letting other people know.
I'm also composing in Google Docs. Any pointers? Specifically, I'd like to add a more professional looking text box at the end of each chapter to highlight the main points.
I don't know how to add a text box but everything I wanted to learn how to do I just typed in google. For example "How to create a table of content in google docs"
Fearlessarchangel, I'm nervous to take this into my own hands, personally I'd prefer to pay someone. Do you happen to still have a way of contacting the one who formatted your previous work? If you do email him to me please at drewsmars25@gmail.com, it'd be much appreciated especially since formatting it is just about all I need before purchasing a few ISBNs and getting my work on eBook stores.
I just finished writing the text of my first book - about 6000 words. Wondering if I should do more research to make it longer. So far, I just wrote it off the top of my head. Now on to formatting! Thanks for these videos!
Have a book written. Just need to figure out how to format for KDP. This video is a big help. I wasn't sure how to set up my Word document for KDP. I'll check out more of your resources. Thanks.
Thank you SO MUCH for this video! I was getting frustrated trying to format my ebook and didn't know what to do. Your video has helped so much and I'm ready to get my book published as an eBook now. Thank you!!
Great video! I’m just starting out 😱I have a series of eight books (5-7K wds each) and a compilation of all eight - 55K wds. I used “TEXT EDIT” on Mac, then copied and pasted to a new WORD DOC, cleaned it up, and took it from there - MOST HELPFUL., then published right to KINDLE. I thought I would use KINDLE CREATE, but this way is more direct - I think. You took all the guess work out of the process. Thanks again!!
I appreciate it! My books are done. I am doing research on how to format. I plan to pay an editor but I feel it's imperative to learn how to format myself because I have multiple books with more to come. Thank for sharing.

Thank you, I'm just doing my first book and sent it to Fiverr for formatting as a Kindle, but not sure if he had done ti right, so thanks for clarifying everything for me
Hi Monica, thats a smart move hun ... I think Emeka was right to advise us to learn how it's done ourselves too. btw, may I ask how much your fiverr guy charged you? and word count? I heard they're a great value platform is that true?
So happy for this video! Well done! It is easier than I thought and once your book is in manuscript formatting, it almost a done deal! I was searching for a simple example and you did it! Thank you.
Definitely useful thanks, just the Page Break feature alone got the book displaying better in the Kindle preview. On some pages it was not separating chapters on new pages (some were not affected though). Wish I looked up for this video earlier! Thank you again!
Keep up the good work man! You are quite helpful! As for my experience, Im currently finishing the last pages of my work. Its quite overwhelming and now there is still lots of things to do!

Even though I have a different version of Word, I was able to go to my version while running your video in the background and look for the appropriate commands to copy what you were doing, you were so concise and clear in your explanations. Hugely appreciate you sharing this.
Thank you for your clear step by step approach. You make it easy to follow along. I wonder if you could help me please.... When I take a look at my e-book on kindle previewer all my pictures are offset to the right. I'm working on office 7 in word and this is driving me crazy! I've had a look at your tutorial on inserting and aligning pictures but my program won't allow me to use the center margin. Instead I've used the format - align picture to center and middle. It looks perfect on word but kindle previewer shows all of my pics to the side. Please, please help. S
@@selfpublishingprofits Really? i'm off to watch that video now!!... that is exactly what I'm struggling with on my books...

Your Video How to Format an eBook for Kindle/ Amazon Publishing in UNDER 10 Minutes is going to help me out immensely. The question that I have is I already just completed my book, "Looking Through Our Eyes of Curi Osity" in both paperback and hardcover and they are both on Amazon right now however they are formatted as a 6 x 9 page. Can I work off a copy of the book that I 254-page manuscript in Microsoft 365 Word and if so, should I resize it or should I keep it 6 x 9? Also, should I readjust side margins and gutters? Thanks for all your help again with this. Larry Stigsell - Author of Looking through Our Eyes of Curi Osity
A very good tutorial. Please do a Create Space one. When I upload the paragraphs are different sizes in some sections.and the table of content is blue. Why?
for kindle e book what paper size should we select on ms word i selected (after many researches) 6"×8" w×ht? is that correct plz reply soon i hv to gv my buk final touch so that i can publish it
This is very helpful. I'm wondering how to format a few text boxes in my novel. I want each text box to display on a page without being split over two pages. That is, I don't want the text boxes to "flow". So I guess I need to embed them in the Word document as images. I guess that if they are images, they won't be treated by Kindle as text. Do you have any suggestion about how to best do this?
This is great. One thing. To speed up the process, hit Ctrl+A (Cmnd+A on a Mac) a few times to highlight the whole document. Then go back and set the headers. I personally disagree on one part, as a reader I want to have the subheading in the table of contents, so I'd at least format the Header 2 and use two levels in the TOC. Good job, easy to follow.
Great. Very helpful. Thank you. Now how do I upload it to Kindle? (And KDP direct for hard copies?) I'm so new at this I'm not sure those are even the right questions! Thanks again.

To help with your camera lighting, use a big flashlight (sit it behind your camera) or put a full size lantern on and sit behind your camera. If you go camping, you should have these things. 😊
I thank you for explaining this information. My problem is my book is in an old manuscript and I need to retype it. So can i follow your steps by using word initially. I am doing the book in Three Edition. The first Edition is only eight chapters -non-fiction. Techie not.
Thank you very much for the tips and making it all look so easy; however, I have my kindle book published already, and the format is completely off. I have to delete it and reformat it as you have shown. In any event, I have watermarks in my print book which is fabulous, however, is there a way to keep the watermark in my kindle published book or no? Thanks a million, Valerie
Yes, I know. But what if the information is important to the text. I assume you hyperlink them to the end of the chapter, right? At least this is what I'm going to do.
I'm stuck I can't create the table of contents because im not seeing that option "options" in layout. I'm not even seeing "options elements" like displayed. Please help. Thanks and great stuff

I am at formatting stage of my children ebook with pictures. Is the process same? Also, with LEAVE A REVIEW on the footer of each page will be more viable?
Being fairly new to ebook writing this has been very helpful. The book is done and I'm at the point of formatting the table of contents, but for the life of me, I cannot find options under layout in Word, or "show levels." What I see on the video isn't what I see on my Word. I have Microsoft Word 365. I'll keep searching:)
Emeka Ossai question...when I uploaded it and previewed it on amazon, the preview didn't show the page numbers on the TOC page nor the pages so is it safe for me to assume that Amazon automatically removed them and that people won't see the page numbers after purchasing?
Hi Emeka! Thanks for this video. It was very helpful. I'm preparing my first short stories and book of poetry for Amazon Kindle and I find myself seeking guidance on youtube for every step. So, thanks again!
This is very helpful. I am trying right now to produce a working e-book from my manuscript, which is assembled into separate chapters on Google Docs. Hopefully, your lessons will work for me. I'll be sure to watch your other videos for advice. Thanks!
Thank you. I'm not a writer and I'm not a tech person. I typed up a 50 year-old 100,000 word novel onto Microsoft. I was thinking traditional publishing. Having troubles with documents and sub documents. I hit a wall. Maybe I can avoid that task by going through kindle. I have much to learn. You make it look so easy. This looks fun. You are a good teacher. The novel is formatted in first line indent. Should I change that for Kindle?

I thank you for explaining this information. My problem is my book is in an old manuscript and I need to retype it. So can i follow your steps by using word initially. I am doing the book in Three Edition. The first Edition is only eight chapters -non-fiction. Techie not.
Thank you very much for the tips and making it all look so easy; however, I have my kindle book published already, and the format is completely off. I have to delete it and reformat it as you have shown. In any event, I have watermarks in my print book which is fabulous, however, is there a way to keep the watermark in my kindle published book or no?
Thanks a million,
Valerie
Thanks for the video. What if the previous document has footnotes in it or reference notes etc.? How do I deal with them?
Yes, I know. But what if the information is important to the text. I assume you hyperlink them to the end of the chapter, right? At least this is what I'm going to do.
Thanks a bundle, Emeka. You have resolved some of my kindle formatting ghosts. Asante sana!!
I'm stuck I can't create the table of contents because im not seeing that option "options" in layout. I'm not even seeing "options elements" like displayed. Please help. Thanks and great stuff
Hello, thank you very much for the video. I would like to know how to format a mathematics book on Kindle. like drawing graphs and other diagrams. thanks
Hey, you can do Ctrl-A and Ctrl-J and justify the whole thing at once!
Thanks for the great video, you saved me. few question
1- do we need to select a certain paper size?
2- should there be a certain margin on each side of the content?
3- do we have to use a certain font or can be a font of my choice?
thanks alot
Thank you! Working on my first eBook and I found this very helpful.
I created my book content in Word, and created the cover with a book cover creation software. How do I get them together as one document for publishing?
@@selfpublishingprofits just had to say this...I truly admire your openness and willingness to take your time to help others on their journey. Being generous of spirit is the true sign of a leader... love that! :)
Thank you for the video. I was able to format my manuscript!
Thank you so much for all this information!!! It's helped immensely. My only problem is the hyperlink. I think I'm using a different version of word that you have so I'm struggling with that portion. But thank you so everything!!
THANK YOU. This was the best and easiest tutorial to understand!!!!
Glad it helped. Be sure to check out the free course playlist ruclips.net/p/PLjbTdEHPrKNhgFHbRdQPp8svt9Taq3Heg
I am at formatting stage of my children ebook with pictures. Is the process same? Also, with LEAVE A REVIEW on the footer of each page will be more viable?
Thank you very much , you're a legend. Can you please explain what happen after that, transform it to ebook formula? calibre?
Emeka Ossai thanks brother
This is exactly what I needed!!! Thank you! How does this work with a cover??
This is my same question!
I really appreciate your videos! I'm wondering how to best link words to the proper section in a glossary at the end of the e-book.
Will do! Thank you so much!
Being fairly new to ebook writing this has been very helpful. The book is done and I'm at the point of formatting the table of contents, but for the life of me, I cannot find options under layout in Word, or "show levels." What I see on the video isn't what I see on my Word. I have Microsoft Word 365. I'll keep searching:)
Great video! Thanks! Why can't or shouldn't we use page numbers for a kindle ebook? What happens if you do?
Emeka Ossai question...when I uploaded it and previewed it on amazon, the preview didn't show the page numbers on the TOC page nor the pages so is it safe for me to assume that Amazon automatically removed them and that people won't see the page numbers after purchasing?
Emeka Ossai the TOC did show but the page numbers I had on it did not. so I guess Amazon removed the page numbers for me which would be a good thing
Hi Emeka! Thanks for this video. It was very helpful. I'm preparing my first short stories and book of poetry for Amazon Kindle and I find myself seeking guidance on youtube for every step. So, thanks again!
Hey Emeka, any reason you don't use Kindle Create to format your books? Thanks.
This is very helpful. I am trying right now to produce a working e-book from my manuscript, which is assembled into separate chapters on Google Docs. Hopefully, your lessons will work for me. I'll be sure to watch your other videos for advice. Thanks!
Thank you. I'm not a writer and I'm not a tech person. I typed up a 50 year-old 100,000 word novel onto Microsoft. I was thinking traditional publishing. Having troubles with documents and sub documents. I hit a wall. Maybe I can avoid that task by going through kindle. I have much to learn. You make it look so easy. This looks fun. You are a good teacher. The novel is formatted in first line indent. Should I change that for Kindle?
Wow! You really made this a very simplistic task. Thanks so much! Great Video
Video was helpful thank you. My book has been professionally edited. My book covers are being designed and my book is one or two nights away from being uploaded.
