[@SeanDollwet]

@@vitollock575 love to hear it!

[@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!

[@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!

[@kbowker5]

Holy cow! This was so easy to follow and direct! I was able to go into my very first book I ever wrote and fix it so it was so much easier to read! Very grateful to this brilliant young man!

[@randomthoughts1057]

GREAT teaching skills. I'm about to try it on my own. If I become overwhelmed, I'll hand it over to Fiverr. Thank you!

[@spiritualhealthandhealing1576]

Oh my goodness,THANK YOU!

[@theducklinghomesteadandgar6639]

Excellent tutorial. A little fast for me but I can slow down if need be and/or watch as many times as I like!! Thank u so MUCH!!!

[@ukgoldfamilytv1037]

Wow.....! You are a genius, teaching everything, step by step by heart. Thank you very much. I will do the formatting myself from your detailed instructions. GOD bless you exceedingly.

[@arealphoenix2727]

Just finished my final edit of my 1st book. This is the technical knowledge I NEEDED. Thanks so muchhand-purple-blue-peace now to put it into action for KDP and ebook. Suscribed btw

[@pondweedfilms]

Clear and concise and so easy to follow - great work.

[@vishalanand8419]

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

[@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😅

[@inegbenoiseogbeifun4640]

What's d solution please

[@positivemanifestations3247]

Great instructions, Sean!

[@MsStaceB]

Extremely helpful and to the point. Was so easy to follow thank you!! I was having such issues formatting haha

[@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

[@moneycoach24]

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

[@mayart_easydrawing]

i just love his videos..they r like song to my ears though I get distracted pretty easily. His video keeps me hooked till the end

[@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.

[@GlynisDance]

Thank you - excellent video! All the essentials, explained well, but without unnecessary "fluff".

[@robdraperacs-cinematograph4154]

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?

[@thenyaiofficial]

Thank you ! ❤ the video so much

[@amelariyvanbegovic137]

Thank you so much for this great tutorial!

[@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

[@20Racer19]

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

[@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?

[@properjob]

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

[@EFTcoach111]

I was struggling to format my book on word, your video really helped me Buddy i love you ❤

[@beautytips911]

Thank you for an excellent video! Is it possible for this to be done in Google Doc?

[@declanconner9360]

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

[@tahn3234]

Hi Sean, can I ask why the margins would be mirrored in the ebook version? Thanks, am new to this.

[@GlobalPeculiar]

Thank you so much, sir for this video, sir. You didnt show us how to achieve cream paper for paperback book. 😢❤

[@equalizer1963]

at the start you had those 4 little arrow things at the corners. How d'you get them and are they important? You've got me 80% there pal - thanks for all that.

[@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.

[@spiritualmediumcatherineon9403]

Thank you. I learned a number of new things here! Problem: when I upload my 6 x 9 document as suggested into kdp the margins are incorrect. Did I miss something?

[@chelseale547]

can you do the video formatting paperback on atticus?

[@music2urbrain]

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

[@kylersloan6394]

Thank you much. Kindle Create pales in comparison to Word as an editor.

[@positivemanifestations3247]

Thank you!

[@creativeperry8930]

Please make video on how to create ebook cover correctly for kdp with mobile.

[@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.

[@jassingh4153]

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

[@sanjunimje3703]

Best explanation video 😊

[@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

[@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?

[@Lolee56]

Is there a video on how to do this on Google docs?

[@CB-hi6jt]

thank you thank you! This video is exactly what I needed!

[@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)?

[@primepeaks-v8s]

THANK YOU SO UCH THIS IS THE EASIEST HAVE EVER WATCHED AND HEARD... I WILL GO DO THIS RIGHT NOW

[@Growthwithyoungsters-jg3wi]

Kudos to everyone. Please must you add reference to your ebooks? and if yes, is it wise to refrence chat gpt when you have done a whole lot of editing? Is there a limit to the number of books one can publish in a week. It's my first time trying to publish on kdp, is it adviceable to add Ai generated images to my interior manuscript? Your answers are very crucial to me please 🙏

[@art_strings]

This was so good. My books which now look much better than what Kindle Create can do!

[@Falakmology]

Can't THANK u enough buddy 🤎🙏

[@Henry_Okooboh]

can i use google doc for it?

[@JoeOnwe]

This was really helpful.. thank you

[@CR7468]

Thank you so much for all these free information that you are giving❤. Can you please make a video on how to find a profitable niche in fiction? I have been struggling with finding profitable niche in fiction, for a long time now. I am really passionate about writing and publishing my books and, its my dream. I cant invest money on buying keyword research tools. Please make a video on that topic.😊

[@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.

[@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!

[@HolisticBusinessPR4You]

Really good, thank you so much.

[@thedeetales4326]

Great informative easy video. Thank you!!

[@equalizer1963]

Thanks a lot but with my page sizes and times new roman font, size 12, i'm barely getting 200 words a page and my book'll be too thick. What about the top and bottom margins?

[@NataELui]

Bro! Thank you so much for your content from the bottom of my heart. Bless you!!!

[@deenyc730]

This is great information! Thank you. Is the free course still available? Both links above seem to go to a paid course. I'd like to check out the free course first!

[@MzansiKidsZone]

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

[@waleadesina9311]

Thank you very much for the video clip. Much appreciated

[@Natesha33]

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

[@imdeb]

Thank you so much for this wonderful video. This is very (very) helpful. Have a good time.

[@KJ-zr2ko]

❤ thank you. Is Garamond a free font for print publication in commercial printing?

[@budgetvhsbin4785]

What version of office are you using?

[@RosalindElizabeth]

Thank you very much. This was very helpful.

[@ViralVideoUniversity]

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

[@PuelaLunaris]

Excellent video. Thanks so much!!

[@equalizer1963]

Also, when doing the header thing, at the end, you clicked on a chapter in contents to show it works but my ms word (brand new) says I have to hold down ctrl, then click - will that make a difference?

[@robertstevensmd4877]

Hey Sean. I'm editing a manuscript for a medical textbook that has graphs, tables, etc. It's going to be an Amazon Kindle eBook. Right now it's in MS Word. Will your advice in this video work for the medical textbook? There's different fonts throughout the whole manuscript that have to be left untouched.

[@EHBradley]

AMAZING VIDEO!!

[@tonywpiche2263]

Thanks again for a informative video.

[@TheQuizStream1]

@seanDollwet, when I save as PDF, it shows pages as single portrait page vs your PDF has double page landscapes? why is that? How can I save them like yours mate?

[@macblink]

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

[@letssolveitten1728]

Thank you so much. Can one format books on Canva?

[@AdellaAbhinav-q9x]

bro which word are you using (year's word like ms 2013)

[@Reza20003]

Hi thanks for your videos buddy. Can you make a video about one of your best seller books ?

[@geethas.maniam1943]

Thanks Sean

[@sarinaperkins9436]

thank you

[@Phantom-Shaldas]

I love your work, i wanted to ask can authors in countries Ingram spark don't work with purchase an Ingram spark account from other authors? If yes, how ? And is it possible to publish my books through you? (Like being my publisher and all)

[@dissidentfairy4264]

Question: I'm confused. Doesn't KDP say that spacing has to be Double spaced? You said, "1.25 to 1,5 max"." I'm new at this and would really appreciate some clarification. I'm a bit technically challenged (which is hard enough. lol) but when I see deviations on top of it, it kinda throws me for a loop:-)

[@israeliabenjamin5679]

Thank you, Sean. Thank you brother

[@equalizer1963]

I don't click on 'this section' and get the 1st page footer or even page header - how'd you do that ?

[@johndelavina3335]

Absolutely invaluable. Thank you!

[@Ashley36595]

Can you add pictures when formatting?

[@RobinFerreiraLettau]

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

[@djsalinger9011]

Amazon KDP provides pre-formatted word doc templates for this purpose

[@primepeaks-v8s]

HOW CAN I GO ABOUT IT

[@brandonestelle9029]

Awesome! Thanks for sharing!

[@bodylessons]

Do you insert figures into the kdp for the same price as without when you do it as a Fiverr service?

[@sajidabdul6020]

Can u assist me in formatting paper back format..I already released my ebook and now I want to release it in paper back

[@Market-Maven]

Sean, I made my book pages light chocolate brown. I like that color. What? To me it looks good. When I submit it to Kindle, is that gonna be a problem for them that makes them tell me to make it, you know, white color pages? I guess I can change it for the Paperback if they don't wanna do light chocolate pages ;d Thanks.

[@Devineangel1986]

Love this video. Do you have any video on copyright?

[@yackablejohnson1485]

Anything you publish in the United States is yours for 70 years past your death. You don't need to file or pay for copyright. You only need to establish the date, and that's valid by simply emailing yourself a final draft.

[@geraldkyle5819]

Thank you Sir. I learned a lot from your tutorial.

[@iftikharalam1281]

Thanks dude! helped me a lot, subbed to u!!

[@naomi4836]

[@Xcooltips]

[@theplatontwins]

I need help please. I published my book but the pages don’t start at the same level. I need to fix this, am I able to send it to you and what would you charge?
