How to Format A Book: What Goes Inside?

How to Format A Book: What Goes Inside? // Today's video is going to be a beginner's guide to formatting a book. We'll be talking about some of the content that goes inside a book, such as the front matter, end matter, and the book itself. In this video, I'll also be going over some book formatting tips so you can create a professional and clean book that's ready for publication on Amazon and beyond!

These videos are a god send. I have watched countless hours of other videos to get 1/10th the amount of information compiled here. Thank you.

Hi Mandi, thank you for making this! I recently got my book's formatting done through a company called "Writers Of The West" they're based out of Houston, Texas and did a pretty good job and not too expensive too. But I will keep this information in mind for the future !

I'm sorry, I had to pause and geek when I spotted the Skinjacker Trilogy on your shelf! I love those books!

[SeniorCWICL]

Omg I love your content, I’ve accidentally become a author and I’m dieing over here with getting this word file formatted. I was all done and published to Kdp and realized there’s some funky blank spaces all of a sudden.. errrr

[johnheav]

Well done, Mandi. Thank you for being a great human and adding value to other people's lives. Following you!

Where would you suggest inserting a promo for previous books released by the author that are still available, with a link to purchase them?

[sherrinight]

A copyright page video would be cool. I'm in Canada and have not found much on it. Still looking into it. If your book has any trigger warnings in it would you put that in the front or in the description on the website?

[nannerbee]

Thank you so much, your videos have been such a huge help! I just got one of your books and can’t wait to read it. 😊

I'm also for a video about Copyright 👀

PS: your bitly link to your course has not worked for several weeks now

[scottkeeler]

Thank you, Mandi. I will be using your InDesign Adobe formatting. I have questions about what is necessary for disclaimers. I have written a Historical fiction book that references several factual historical events and people, yet the overall book is fiction.

[ProgressingImperfectly]

Thank you for these videos! I am so glad I found your channel.

[motleyassortment]

Yes, please make video on how to copyright book, I think that wis a topic all authors would like to know how to do.

Thanks

[reader.J]

Do we make a copyright page or is it provided by kdp?

[markbailey]

Great info and needed this today :) thank you!

[pequadcob]

Table of Contents is common for fiction when we are talking about short story collections or anthologies.

[DontGoToHell]

Good subject. This video might not have mentioned the important information of how much Adobe In-Design costs, and whether it has a monthly charge. If so, I might prefer Kotobee.

[themandoworld]

Thank you! Please can you make a video on copyright application and everything? Many thanks for considering my request.

[magaidhbussellbeesley]

For your course, do we have lifetime access to it?

[supernaturalwriter]

Super useful for beginners thanks for sharing
