  • great video!!! I love how you explain it so well and clearly! you make watching it so painless and so much more enjoyable than other videos! :)

  • So, I will be starting my autobiography here shortly, what would be my first step?

  • Lulu gives you a paperback sold on their website but also any bookstore including B and N can purchase and carry it in their stores. You're right, completely edit and spellcheck and make lots of copies.

  • Absolutely great video! Thanks.

  • thank you so much. i have a poetry book as well as a novel/to screen story coming out. I hope it becomes a series. but thanks for the insight. i just saw over 233 videos today. Thank Youtube and you guys.

  • Great video! Thank you so much.

  • Wow! I'm impressed! You have a good eye for CMYK vs. RGB. You are right and I have now added that to my "fix it" list.

    Also, Amazon used to call it "DTP" (for digital text publishing), but has since updated their name to "keep us on our toes." DTP is now called KDP (Kindle Desktop Publishing) but it is the same website and service.

    I'm glad you enjoyed the tutorial. I hope it was helpful.

    Best, Claudia (aka NovelHelp)

  • Hi, Thanks for this tutorial. I was just wondering, wouldn't it make sense in your diagram if the final two arrows from the cover feeding smashwords and DTP came from RGB colour space as these are e-books which will be read on a minotor? Only the arrow feeding lightening source should come from CMYK?

  • Hello, thank you for your comment. Your "copyright" occurs as soon as you put pen to paper. You can, if you like, apply for an official copyright for your document. Additionally, you will want to purchase an ISBN number for your book. Either way, make sure your manuscript is finished first.

  • It was good but looking more step by step like after you write the story, do you type and then send to copyright or do you do this after you have sent it to a printer? Do you do ISBN first or copyright first?

  • Copied from @EmilyHillWriter's video page (I think I removed it by accident when I replied.

    Brilliant presentation! This presentation should be BUZZING with kudos...Writers! Please listen when NovelHelp advises 'FINISH' the manuscript...no typos, no bad grammar, no sloppy formatting. Know your character arcs and your plot lines - work with a book doctor, or editor. The current 'rush to publication' lack of oversight is helping to sully independent publishing. "

  • @EmilyHillWriter Thanks for your comment! You are so right. We work diligently with our authors, encouraging them to make their work the best it can be. To do that, they need to do serious content editing, copyediting, and make as many proof-reading passes as they possibly can.

    We have personally seen many great new titles come across our desk proving to us over and over again that self-publishing is the present and future home of great writers everywhere. We hope this video helps.
