Thank you, Mandi. I will be using your InDesign Adobe formatting. I have questions about what is necessary for disclaimers. I have written a Historical fiction book that references several factual historical events and people, yet the overall book is fiction.

Where would you suggest inserting a promo for previous books released by the author that are still available, with a link to purchase them?
@HelenaCross
@HelenaCross 8 месяцев назад
I’ve heard it’s best to place those things in the front matter (like an Also By page), but I’ve also seen them in the back of books as a Call to Action page, with newsletter links and any social media stuff. So, a personal choice by the author I think.

A copyright page video would be cool. I'm in Canada and have not found much on it. Still looking into it. If your book has any trigger warnings in it would you put that in the front or in the description on the website?
@HelenaCross
@HelenaCross 8 месяцев назад
Canadian too. For copyright pages, just include: Your general copyright (book title, copyright of ‘author name’), your ‘rights reserved and ‘no part of this may be copied’ and ‘names,places, people are used fictiously’ legal jargon. Add your credits (cover designer, interior formatting credits, any interior art credits, etc), and your edition number and ISBN (you can add both paperback or ebook ISBN or just the single ISBN of the specific file you’re working in-so, in ebook you just include the ebook’s ISBN).
@HelenaCross
@HelenaCross 8 месяцев назад
As far as trigger warnings, I’d include it in the book (and, depending on how long it is) in the Amazon description.

Yes, I would like to hear more about 'Copyrights.' if needed or not. Second, please let me know if there is a standard for 'Disclaimer' or find one you want. Lastly, I reference Bible verses; how does one get NIV ok to use it? I just joined your site. I find your site more friendly than a few others, thanks.

Good subject. This video might not have mentioned the important information of how much Adobe In-Design costs, and whether it has a monthly charge. If so, I might prefer Kotobee.

@@MandiLynnWrites and is this because it's too informal? I am sending out 150 query letters and they are ALL personalized. It is a lot of work and probably could finish a whole book in the time it takes me to do that. I'm sure other writers are curious about how to get these queries out more judiciously than that. Thanks, Stefanie

I have a question if anyone can tell me, I know a lot of people write their book on a different software than the software they will format their book with, my question is how do they transfer their manuscript into the formating software without issues?
@HelenaCross
@HelenaCross 8 месяцев назад
Depends on the software, but generally, I’ve seen a lot of people convert their stories to Word documents, then upload them into their formatting program.
