You put sooo much time and focus into this video, and I sooo appreciate it. I had no clue how to format my ebooks, and will ask for your free stuff below! Many thanks! Elisha

[@CraigJNelson1]

I watched several videos on the same topic and came away still frustrated and baffled. Glad I found Sean's video because it is far-and-away better than the others: spot on, easy-to-follow, with just the right amount of instruction. I was able to complete my e-book formatting in a very short amount of time. Thank you, Sean!

[@jhenrymaroney4416]

I just discovered this gentleman only this morning. I have watches several of his videos and appreciate his advice and knowledge. Thank you.

[@debbiecurtis4146]

I was so impressed that I just joined his Royalty Hero group a couple days ago. Edited to add: Yes, he knows what he's doing! I was on the FB group asking a question about formatting, but then decided to check out KZbin, and Sean is who came up first!

[@valentinekosisochi3265]

Thanks, we have been battling book blockage for over two months now, but finally the solution is out...I am just glad. I am also ready to help others bypass it😅

[@christianemichelberger8245]

Thank you for this excellent, clear explanation. I'm about to publish my second book and this time, I want to do the formatting myself. With your instruction, I'm good to go.

[@pauladominique]

Sean is so comfortable with this process that he just flies through it! I'm formatting my first book (for kids 9-12) and I wonder if absolutely all of these tips apply in my case. I'm itching to publish but am worried that I've missed something major in my formatting.

[@susieisms]

Very helpful. Thank you.

[@vishalanandmedia]

Thank you so much as this video was so helpful and it's one of those topics which has been a source of frustration for many people

[@billkeidan270]

Thanks, Sean - you supply so much important information for free. I feel inspired to purchase your Publish in 7 days course.

[@amandataylor4537]

Thank you so much for this information. This will save me a lot of time. I truly appreciate you making this video!!

[@20Racer19]

Great video. I really appreciate your thorough instructions and the fact that you covered both digital and physical formatting. Liked and subscribed.

[@SimonTAMG]

Legend! Thank you so much for the help, it truly did point me in the right direction for a LOT that I didn't know about. Indebted to you my man. Thank you!

[@doremilamus]

Sean, you deliver amazing content

[@Laughterismedicine.]

Thank so much for information. It helped me a lot.

[@ZiggyM]

Great tutorial, thanks!

[@ErenVantures]

Thank you so much for this! Those Page Breaks make a huge difference when you upload to PDF - I also think I realised something - Word WIll not have the same Page count per page because if I am right the margins will be a bit different. I've done my book on A5 and it is on a PDF now with the correct amount of spacing between the page breaks and it is 4 pages less on the PDF but the pages and spacing between chapters and pages is correct.

[@ADHDMagician]

This video is insanely helpful. Thank you so much!

[@moneycoach24]

Thank you so much for your super helpful videos. I always learn something new!

[@music2urbrain]

Thanks! I found this channel! Very helpful for those beginning their Amazon KDP business!

[@thechicgrandma]

Thank you, Sean!

[@JohnBoren-g1d]

Sean, thanks for your straightforward guide- the clearest I've found! Do have any suggestions for clearing up numbering in the table of contents? My table shows Preface at page seven (after title page, ect.) and the Introduction at page two. Also, there are 3 pages between the Preface and Intro that I can't seem to delete. I've looked online but the suggestions haven't worked. Any ideas are greatly appreciated! Barbara B

[@notthefarmerswife]

Thank you for the really detailed video. I must just being doing something wrong. Did all the formatting in word then moved it to Reedsy and its a mess. Will have to start again. Nothing has lined up and page breaks are everywhere. Can you just upload from word without going through Reedsy?

[@antoniolicata6333]

Excellent guide. Is it possible to save all the settings and use them for another book by copying and pasting? or do I have to go through all the steps for each book? Thank you

[@jassingh4153]

I've watched several videos and you are always on point and very informative - Thank you so much🥰

[@erinkuhn6415]

Help! Did you ever make a video expanding upon the header and footer? How do we remove header and page numbers only from Chapter pages without restarting the count?

[@CB-hi6jt]

[@properjob]

Nicely set out and explained, thanks. I would have liked a quick link to jump forward to the paperback instructions.

[@flawcoaching]

Great Video Sir ❤

[@robdraperacs-S35]

Awesome instruction. Many thanks for for providing this, by far the best description I have found. Question for you: I am doing 5x8 with a lot of pictures. Do I need to do anything other than make sure they fit within the margins?

[@KJ-zr2ko]

[@JoeOnwe]

[@spiritualmediumcatherineon9403]

[@Starstruckredcurls]

I love your content so much! Thank you ! Can you please do a video on The Urban Writers, on how to use and pick the best writers, please!

[@tonywpiche2263]

Thanks again for a informative video.

[@sweetsweet3753]

hi thanks a lot. for the paperback version do i just save the whole file in .pdf or what about the cover/back page. that is a separate file and gets loaded onto amazon separately?.. if yes does the formatting on the cover file have to = the formatting on the paperback pdf?

[@MzansiKidsZone]

Thank you so much for this detailed tutorial. I followed with yoiu and it was refreshing. Thank you

[@Natesha33]

Why can't I get the margins right? On my document text goes right to the side of the page. So frustrating

[@ennzopiacentini]

incredible. thank you.

[@positivemanifestations3247]

Thank you!

[@Alma1952ful]

Hi, thanks for your videos. They are great and have helped me a lot. I already published my book, and now I have translated it to Spanish. How do I submit it? Do I start as a new book?

[@declanconner9360]

Yor example for the eBook uses mirror margins used for print books. Best have the n=margins as even.

[@PuelaLunaris]

Excellent video. Thanks so much!!

[@CulturalDecline]

love your videos but do you knows how to make the E book fit to Mobile and Tablets? do i need format and upload 2 version on KDP?

[@deloreshillcreative]

Thank you for this video. I am having trouble with formatting. I have Microsoft Word 365. I used a template I got from Amazon KDP. There are extra spaces in the front matter of my manuscript and last page of my manuscript that I cannot remove or see even after I selected view. Please advise how I can delete those extra spaces.

[@akhila207]

How you add front and back cover with your body chapters to kook as a book

[@RobinFerreiraLettau]

what about the cut of the pages through amazon? do i need to take this into account while formatting?

[@Selahandthebandofprophets]

Thank you 🙏🏾

[@tracierodwell1315]

Hi what if you have graphics and pictures in a non fiction book?

[@SusanTitcombe]

I have already formatted a paperback in Word for a friend and it is on sale on the Amazon UK site. She has now asked for me to provide her with a version for a Kindle but not sure what changes I need to make please.

[@HolisticBusinessPR4You]

Really good, thank you so much.

[@RosalindElizabeth]

Thank you very much. This was very helpful.

[@IsabellaBazzara]

I Sean, If my cover is 1,600 x 2,650 pixels, what should be my manuscript dimensions? Does it absolutely need to be the exact ration (1:1,6)?

[@macblink]

what about page numering? should I include it in a fantasy novel?

[@ViralVideoUniversity]

Great work, thank you for your videos. I truly appreciate your time and consideration.

[@marychapman3574]

[@Ashley36595]

Can you add pictures when formatting?

[@meibergstrmandersen9181]

Hi this is super cool. Can you give a hint to how to take a blok of text and convert that into a table or a picture. In order to have a book not only containing text, but also nice tables, graphs and pictures. br Kenneth

[@williamseigler3408]

Hi, thanks for the information. My first attempt at putting books on KDP was a disaster. I've a question. I did the "mirror margins" like you said, and they come out right and left shifted on the computer from one page to the next. Does that matter for the eBook version. I plan to do hard copy as well, but should it be doing that in the eBook version? Thanks for your help.
