This was one of the more informative videos I’ve watched on RUclips. Short and concise, yet presented in such a way to maximize the information given. Well done, and thank you!
Glad it was helpful! You may also want to check out this video I just posted sharing time-saving hacks for writers using Google Docs ruclips.net/video/HEI_78T-knw/видео.html
started my book titled"Understanding the Bible"in July of 2021 as just a simple document,it started to change 4 months later and then started to get it into a book typa feel
When doing another chapter, do you do the same we did for the first one? E.G. Going 1/3 down the page to center the number and name of the chapter. I also loved it. I'd been planning to write a book for ages. You're explanation was clear and straight to the point. Best tutorial I've seen so far. Thank you!
I've had a couple of stories bouncing around in my head & always considered writing them down' just never really pulled the trigger. I recently decided to actually start writing & in doing so was looking to format my book properly. I found your video & it has been extremely helpful for somebody new like myself. I just wanted to say thank you for making this. Again I appreciate this & thank you.
Thank you bunches!!!! Praise the Lord!!! This is what I have been looking for, not to pay someone to edit or do stuff with my story, but how to turn my e-story into a manuscript so I can finally publish it, thank you, sweet Jesus!!! Thank you 'thelifeofawriter'.
This was incredible, just what I was looking for! Short and concise. No information dumps that had me scratching my head, like other videos. You did really well braking it down into easily understood parts. Thank you so much xx
I wish I watched this before typing up my manuscript! I hand wrote my book first and then typed it up while editing same time. This video is so well presented and has given me that professional sort of touch I was looking for. Thank you!
You are the literal best. No you tuber has ever been this exact with their information. I didn’t have to look back at my device because your instructions were so clear!
Thank you for making this video, it helped me a lot. I hate computers, did not grow up with them, and consider myself utterly computer illiterate. This step-by-step guide was crazy easy to follow.
Thank you, this was one of the better RUclips videos on this topic. People don’t want 20 minute long videos just to get them started; the length of this video was perfect. Thank you
thank you! My roommate was crying out of frustration, trying to figure out how to do this- I didn't know how so I couldn't help . she NEVER cries. found it so frustrating to figure out. Thank you so much.
Thanks a ton! I am a complete beginner and a master procrastinator. Just by watching this, I got a great kickstart. And from your other videos, The only thing that remains is intense writing. Thank you so much for these great videos.
Thank you, this is very helpful for me to transfer from writing on paper to writing on the computer to actually see and reread what’s been written to make necessary changes.
I’m so glad I found you. Your videos are clear, concise and to the point. Good timing as I have finished my draft. Now looking for an editor, and I might have found 1 ❤
I can't believe I found your video. I am so amazed it is so clear and straight to the point. I am new to writing, and am beginning with non-fiction before moving into fantasy adventure. Right now I am new to all this, I am embarrassed that I feel so far behind. My question is, once you format it how do you download it, and upload it in the right dimensions in KDP?
Thank you so much for sharing this valuable information. Your voice and pace are excellent, for me having English as my second language you are a great instructor. Thanks again. Cassie for Dallas, TX
@@thelifeofawriter I haven't but I will. I was watching Author Level Up's channel. He talked about Book Funnel to use for Beta Readers. I am so new to everything (my first novel still iin revisions) I didn't even know about it. That looks like a very good platform and a nominal cost.
Dang you made that easy, thanks a bunch for your clear instruction and relaxed talking pace! Mylanta some people talk as though they're in a race to the finish line. 😉
Amazing teaching skills..It was engaging and it fulfilled my need for how to properly use Google Docs for my manuscript. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.. when we learn..we grow 👣
Thankyou so so much, this is an absolutely brilliant video and explained very succinctly too. I've just subscribed to your channel immediately whilst watching, i look forward to watching your videos and learning alot more. Thankyou again, I hope you have a lovely rest of the week and weekend ahead. Best wishes and stay safe and well to you and your family
Glad it was helpful! I just posted this video where I share some more tips if you're using Google Docs to write your book ruclips.net/video/HEI_78T-knw/видео.html
@@thelifeofawriter absolutely brilliant thankyou, I will check that out now. I was considering buying scrivener but thought I would check out if Google docs was worth considering first. And of all the videos I have watched on you tube, yours are by far the best on here. You have done a wonderful job and produced content that is impeccable and hugely informative.
This video was uploaded 2 years ago, and I still found it more helpful than half of the videos made two weeks ago. I'm curious how much of the information in this video has changed over the past two years, though. Hopefully not much! lol

Would the format be the same if self-publishing on Lulu?
This video is for writing your manuscript, not the final version.
Thank you

When you do the word count, does it count as everything including the title page, chapter, etc. Or is it just the story you've written?
