Pulling Your Hair Out With Formatting?

If you are having trouble with formatting your book for DIY self-publishing sites like Lulu and CreateSpace, and have pulled out most of the hairs on your head, then click over to Cindy Bauer's excellent step-by-step guide to formatting in MS Word on Visual Arts Junction. Some sites will allow you to load up your formatted MS Word document like Lulu, for the others who require PDF files, you can of course use any of the free online MS Word to PDF converter.

David Douglas, who has commented on this article is also putting together some great resources and posts on his site for authors using open-source programs to format directly to Lightning Source. You can find them here

I'm working on some articles based on how I designed & formatted my own files, to work directly with Lightning Source and get higher profit margins. 3 articles done already :-)
