[stylist] Smashwords

[Ann Bliss]

    Donna,
    Did you do your own formatting for Smashwords?  I read the entire manual 
last night and don't think I want to tackle it since my book has references 
and things. Maybe if were a straight novel...

Atty,
I wish you all the best.

A word of caution to anyone who is thinking about hiring one of the
companies/individuals who do formatting for Smashwords ... I know people 
have
had great experiences with them, but I think you need to stay on top of it 
and
make sure you get what you're paying for. Be mindful that Smashwords has a
list of folks who do this, but they aren't recommending anyone, just keeping 
a
list of people who do it for hire. The whole point of hiring someone is to
ensure that you get accepted into the advanced distribution program. You 
might
want to take a look at this post, so you know what can go wrong.

Hi there,

They say you can hire someone to format it according to smashwords
requirements. I thinkt they said on the site, something like $40 and up. I
know in Omaha a friend told me last year about a place  that does it here in
Omaha.

I am going to go the traditional road if possible.

Not that I am aposed to self publishing, I'm not, but I just want to go the
whole agent route and stuff.

Creativity and peace,
Atty
