Thank you, Claire! Your video has been very helpful. This is my first time using Vellum. You have done a great job explaining what I need to know. All the best. Shalom shalom

Awesome! Thank you! Am trying to format my ebook on my MACBOOK Air with Word! Tried KDP and screamed! Argh! Vellum sounds perfect! Thank you for the well explained video tutorial!

You probably showed more help to viewers interested in learning than others

I’m glad I found you. You have a lot of books. Do you advertise your books through face book or emails like MailerLite. How do you get your books to be seen by the public? I am now trying to learn vellum through their tutorial. Haven’t bought real program yet. Sample program. Had to buy Mac too. Learning to use it. Any thoughts, help you can share will be appreciated. Just saying pictures in books cost money to Amazon is worth knowing. I see your example book is over 100,000 words. How many pages is that. Does vellum # pages? How many pages is 100,000 words? Is it good to write books of that length? Thank you. You are inspiring. You’re young. I’m 80+ still learning and tackling new things.

That was an excellent video. I didn't realize Vellum had the text bubbles. That is so awesome.

@@WritewithClaireFraiseI have a question I already wrote my book in word document but I don’t know how to format my book so once I pay the $249 then I upload my manuscript would it audio format the manuscript for me ?

@ADBorrego 4 месяца назад

This was great, thanks, Claire! One question, though, you mentioned how you checked all of your YA novels to see what size they were. I'm assuming it was 5.5 x 8.5?

@jammywesty91 4 месяца назад

This was really enlightening, thank you. One thing I cannot find anywhere online, is whether or not Vellum allows you to set text into two columns on a single page. Do you know if that's possible?

@jasneskis 10 дней назад

Write the company an email. They will answer you with instructions.

@stuartbrown5012 3 месяца назад

Thanks Claire. This was useful. I have a Mac, so can use Vellum potentially. But the cost is very off-putting. Hence looking also at Atticus, which is way cheaper. But watching your video and Atticus videos, I did get that vibe that Vellum is nicer to use. Have you tested out Atticus at all?

@vangiekitty 3 месяца назад

I have Atticus and I don’t like it. I’ve decided to go ahead and buy vellum after watching this video-it looks easier to use

@jazzychazzy007 Месяц назад

Thanks - I have 5 short stories I am going to publish I am not a tech geek, my spacing and margins etc are all different in the stories, Can I correct this in Vellum? I'm ready to purchase this but that is my only concern.

@WritewithClaireFraise 22 дня назад

Vellum will make all the spacing and margins uniform across your book. As soon as you upload your book, it will put everything in the right font and have the margins be uniform automatically (which is what I love about Vellum--it was driving me crazy trying to get everything uniform on Word)

I'm sorry but you didn't show me how you got to this screen. You skipped steps. I'm an absolute beginner. How dony9u open a new book? Where do you go?

@WritewithClaireFraise 22 дня назад

Oops -- sorry about that! You click "Import Word File" on the left side of the home window and select a Word document you want to import

@jojozepofthejungle2655 26 дней назад

format just means Everything is in the same style, like the same headings, same subheadings styles. FORMATTING PICTURES just means the same size pictures with same borders and size, but if using bleed, meaning that you want pictures to the edges of the paper, just leave it in the safe marginal space. Don't forget to press the "search again" to update the table of contents each time you make a change. I went through hell figuring this out. Tip: just persist.
