Create ebook : Convert word file to epub

In this course for self-published authors, I am going to show you how to format your own eBook in Microsoft Word, ready to upload it to each of the major online stores. I will be demonstrating in Microsoft Word 2016 on a window machine. Most people should be able to follow along in Windows or in previous versions of Microsoft Word.

No prior experience is assumed or required. I present simple, step-by-step instructions to help you produce a professional quality ebook that meets the requirements of major ebook retailers.

Even if you plan to hire out the formatting of your books, it is important for every author to at least know how to do it, in case you ever want to make a simple change or update to your book after publishing — like adding links to your new books or website.

And you don't want to wait days for someone else to schedule you in and charge you for each minor update.

Then I'm going to take you step by step through the process of formatting specifically for ebooks — which is somewhat different from formatting for output as a physical document.

You'll learn both ways to generate a clickable table of contents and how to insert external links to your important places online like your other books and your website.

Once your Microsoft Word document is nicely formatted, I'll show you how to convert it to an ebook file in Calibre or Jutoh.

Then I'll show you how to download Adobe digital edition and preview your .epub file before uploading them to any online stores.

If you're ready to format and convert your own manuscript from a Microsoft Word document into an eBook, go ahead and sign up and I will walk you through the entire process step by step so that you end up with a great eBook — but if you want to check out my teaching style before you decide, feel free to watch a couple of the free previews in the curriculum outline below.
