    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.

    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.

    Hello Mandi Lynn,
    I am requesting clarification on your point at the 9:04 mark in the video. You mentioned the need to create an account on D2D before being able to select specific options. Could you elaborate on this?
    Additionally, I noticed that you had an ISBN. At what point, particularly if you purchase your own BYO-ISBN, should the ISBN for the specific book be included in the formatting? Should it be placed at the end of the formatted content? I’m asking when and where it is entered.
    do you have a specific video on creating an account on D2D?

    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?

    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.

    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.

    Have you ever added a "text message" in your text? I've had a hard time separating a text message from the regular text.

    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?

  • @musick6257

    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?

    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

    • @MandiLynnWrites
      @MandiLynnWrites  Год назад

      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

    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.

    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

    • @CherrySaphire
      @CherrySaphire Месяц назад

      I was formatting epub for a novel too and it seems to be something of style of CSS. I use Sigil to format and I must to correct this inside the code that I can access (Yes, epub is a mix of HTML and CSS to create ebooks, like a kind of simple web). I don't know if there is an option or another way to solve your trouble without changing the HTML code but well, I hope you will find the answer.

    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

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

      Yes! I teach the course assuming you've never used the software before.
