My novel looks like a real book now, and it's giving me the most amazing feeling! This thing I spent all this time on is....real! Thank you for giving me that!

I've now used this vid to format three books--and I always come back to it, even though I've taken copious notes. It's so much easier watching how Natalia does it. I am eternally grateful! This is a godsend! Thank you!

[manualidadesconchris]

Thank you for this tutorial! Someone wanted to charge me so much for doing this, and well... I didn't precisely have the money for it. My book is looking amazing now, I know exactly how many pages it is, I can get it printed. It's a dream come true. Truly, thank you.

[BillMontana]

Thank you so much. Finally someone I can easily understand with the information I need. I will be returning to your videos often.

I'm totally not ready for this tutorial but I watched it anyways and will definitely rewatch when it's actually time! Thanks so much, Natalia!

[MillieRoseEvictions]

I am 45 minutes into your 25 minute video, but I want to stop and thank you for taking this time and being so thorough. I am subscribed! #Continuedsuccess

This helped so much for a new writer like me, 100% best and easiest tutorial ever!

[auroraborealislifecoaching]

I have been researching for months on how to write, format, and publish my own book. Let me tell you, this video you created by far is the best tutorial I have seen... You are very informative and don't add jargon. To the point and very clear! Thank you!

[johnadams]

Thanks for the clear and concise tutorial. I have been writing and illustrating my own children's picture books for a few years, but plugged away in 2006 on a fiction novel, getting halfway through before other commitments got in the way. You've inspired me to finish it :)

[jwilkens]

This video is so incredibly helpful - thank you! I have been writing for a long time but never knew how to properly format a book for publishing, and this made it painless. I'll be referencing it for all future books I write and self publish. Thank you so much!

[WebFanNY]

Your formatting tutorial is extraordinary. I've been watching it for the past hour, pressing pause and rewind and so on while I format my novel template on the other monitor. Thanks! Small note, the Word version you used on this video didn't match mine in Windows 11 but I was able to find the matching setting locations.

I am in the final stages of publishing my book and this was incredibly helpful and very easy to follow! Thank you so much!

This tutorial was super awesome!!! It made it really easy to set up a basic formatted file for me to use for my poetry collection. Would love to see more of these tutorial videos

[emanuelly.santos]

I cannot thank you enough. Natalia, you're absolutely amazing and blessed. Keep it up with the stunning and helpful content 🤗💘

[tessytalesandtrends]

I love, love this video. I spend days on YouTube watching videos on formatting; this is by far the best video. Thank you Natalia for taking the time to make this.

[RFazor]

Natalia, this is one the greatest of all-time videos on formatting.

[AvermillPublishing]

This is still the most helpful of the many videos I've watched learning how to format my first book. Thank you for the thorough instructions.

[briannaremusbooks]

This was fantastic! I'd love to learn more from you about how to format with the section breaks and the front and back matter stuff. You made this super easy!
