[stylist] Smashwords

[Homme, James]

Hi,
I'm confident enough in my ability to use Word that I believe that I can go through the SmashWords process. I'll let the group know how things go. Ann, I would come right out and tell you that I would take on the job of doing SmashWords for you, but I want to make sure I can do it first.

Jim

    Donna,
     Did you do your own formatting?  I read the style manual last evening
and I will not attempt it.  My book has references and such.  Maybe if it
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
