Have you ever wondered if you could format your ow

Have you ever wondered if you could format your own children's book? Formatting a book can be challenging, especially if you're not familiar with InDesign, the software program used by publishing professionals. But we have done the research and found some other options that can get the job done!

Join us for a FREE EVENT on November 14 at 2 PM CT, as we discuss InDesign and alternative software options we've found that don't hurt your wallet or your brain!

We will present live demonstrations of the various software options and explain:

🔸 Capabilities – minimum requirements for the software to create books
🔸 How to export the files correctly for all printers/distributors
🔸 Four software options for book design

We are offering this FREE event to launch our book, "How to Format a Children's Book for Self-Publishing: A Step-by-Step Guide for First-Time Authors and Illustrators," which will be released in January.

This free event will be recorded and distributed to all registered attendees. Register here: https://bit.ly/3CkSKL7 or use the QR code shown.

Are you frustrated with InDesign? Are you struggli

Are you frustrated with InDesign? Are you struggling to create a print or ebook? We get it! Three years ago this month, we started documenting the solutions we found to everyday book formatting problems and sharing them on our YouTube Channel. It was a practical way to make sure we remembered the tips and tricks we discovered for ourselves and at the same time, share our newfound knowledge with others. Today with over 100 videos and almost 8K subscribers, we are excited to add more to our channel. Plus, early next year, we'll have our first print book specifically for formatting children's books available for first-time authors and illustrators.

Whether you're a DIY self-publisher or a large publishing house, our chief book designer, Kayla's down-to-earth, step-by-step tutorials make each subject easy to understand with useful tips to speed up your workflow!

Our practical tutorials focus on the following subject matter:

ADOBE INDESIGN: Follow Kayla through book design processes by exploring the farthest reaches of Adobe InDesign's automation features. We will help you find the quickest, most efficient ways to style a whole book from cover-to-cover.

INDESIGN SCRIPTS: With the addition of (mostly free) scripts in your InDesign toolbelt, you'll be designing faster than ever before.

EBOOKS: Transform your finalized print files from InDesign into a workable format for eBook exporting—even ones that are long, contain images or pull-quotes, and clickable links! We utilize additional free programs such as Sigil, Kindle Previewer 3, and ePub Checker by Pagina.

TROUBLESHOOTING: Having errors or problems? Troubleshooting videos abound on this channel.

We invite you to check out our channel and subscribe. We have a long list of new videos we'll be adding in 2025, so don't miss out!

Congratulations to Brandon Roberts on his new book

Congratulations to Brandon Roberts on his new book, "The 3-Minute Drill: A Couple’s Guide to Regaining and Maintaining Loving Intimacy."

Amazon Review:_________________
This book was an easy, quick, informative, and entertaining read. The author draws from his decades of experience to shine a light on the core factors that make relationships thrive - or wither. From effective communication techniques to the neuroscience behind bonding, each chapter is packed with eye-opening insights that instantly clicked for me.

Perhaps the book's greatest strength is its pragmatic, step-by-step approach. The author doesn't just explain the theory - they provide clear, practical exercises that readers can start implementing right away.
________________________________

We worked with Brandon to format the cover and interior of this book. In addition to the formatting, we also managed the book upload and metadata, instructed the author on the process of building an Advanced Reader Team, and created a sales sheet and mockups for marketing to set him up well as a new author!

This self-published book is available as an eBook and paperback format through Amazon and other online retailers today.
