Formatting for Smashwords

I'm working to put my books on Smashwords.com. Smashwords has an 87-page formatting manual. To make things easier for myself, I made up a checklist.

An expanded version of this blog entry is now available as an ebook on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Smashwords, etc. under the title
"Basic Formatting & How to Create a Hyperlinked Table of Contents for Smashwords." I hope you will buy it and find it helpful!

  1. I'm just about to publish my latest book through Smashwords. It is already in CreateSpace on amazon. A friend told me Smashwords was good but difficult to format, so I'm planning to use your good advice and recommendations on how to proceed. ( I have 'Listening to Ian Magic' on my iPad. My sister, Theresa, recommended it.)

  2. Hi Sylvia: Great to know you're publishing on Smashwords! I wrote a blog entry expressing doubts about the value of Smashwords Premium Status, but I've since reversed my position. My friends Destiny Drake and Nick Navarre, both of whom have numerous titles formatted for Smashwords Premium Status, are seeing substantial sales. Thanks for your comment (and for buying my book!), and best wishes for success in self-publishing! And if you need any additional help with formatting, let me know.
