You've finished your first book, and you're ready to start your self-publishing career, but...

Now what? How do you turn that manuscript into an actual eBook?

Fear not, this guide has the answer. Over the past ten years, Laura Kortum has formatted and published hundreds of books, both for herself and others. But you don't need to outsource the process to get a good result! In fact, you can get it done yourself absolutely for free, with software you probably already have on your computer!

In this guide, you'll learn how to:

  • Use Microsoft Word to create a clean-looking, professional eBook
  • Prepare essential pages and extra material to include in your eBook
  • Insert images and other special formatting
  • Create a handy Table of Contents
  • Upload your book, ready for publication!
  • All you need to begin is a computer with any version of Microsoft Word installed on it, your finished manuscript and any other materials you wish to include, a caffeinated beverage of your choice, and an hour of your time...

    Let's begin!
