6 Tips to Help Indie Authors Format Print Books in Word

George, I know nothing about foreign publishers. However, the top priority, no matter where they are, is to follow the guidelines on their sites to a T. Your manuscript will get tossed if it does not follow their rules. I hope you'll hop over to Meet and Greet and introduce yourself so everyone will know you are here and can welcome you.

Too many smarties out there trying to get into everything!

LOL I know! And my bacon supply is non-existent!

I'm so sorry, Nicola. Praying for you both.

Yeah. A little scary. You're welcome!

Everyone needs to read this. There's a vulnerability in wi-fi on all devices. Please read!

Praying you get a yes!

LOL That's a new one! I've seen bacon everywhere lately. In soup, in muffins, in ice cream, and covered in chocolate! Mine is just plain ol' bacon. Love it on sandwiches!

Hey, Rachael! Christian writers' magazines write about writing only. So I think you need to look for Christian magazines or websites. You might do a search (if you haven't) for Christian sites that also deal with illnesses, like cerebral palsy. Nothing comes to mind right now.

Welcome to our writing family, Dave. Glad you joined us. Your thread is actually a better fit for publishing credits but, unfortunately, it is one part of the site that I cannot move anything to. It sounds as though you have partnered with a vanity publisher (that means you pay them). This happens quite often with new writers. You can promote your book through social media, which is preferred/required anyway. You don't need to pay any more to this publisher to do it for you. You'll find plenty of help, support, and encouragement around here, so roam around and make yourself at home. Blessings on your writing!

Oh, yeah! She does offer a lot and I can't imagine having written that many books! Whew! Glad it was helpful!

Since my book isn't out yet, I can't respond to your last question personally. However, I've heard this quite often. "Oh, you've written a book? How cool!" Friend or family member gets the book and then, zippo after that. Why? Because they don't read it. It's more alluring to think you've read a book by a "famous" person than it is your own not-so-famous relative. Or even friend! They couldn't possibly write something interesting. And so it goes.

Well, my story is somewhat different than the norm. Having an illness/condition (for 17 years), I don't get out much, so it's hubby who tells others I'm a writer. He even carries my business card with him and gives it out whenever he can. I write strictly nonfiction, devotionals, inspirational stories, and modern-day parables. The Lord called me to write to Christians, to encourage, to exhort, to comfort, whatever. I am fortunate to have a Christian family and my writing is accepted, though they show no interest.. Except for one sister, who subscribes to my posts.
