POD Like a Pro: An Author's Guide to Typesetting and Formatting a Book for Print

You’ve written the best book you can, chosen the perfect title and are ready to launch it into the world, but there’s more to putting out a professional book than great writing. You could pay someone to do the typesetting for you, but you want to do it yourself, and you can’t afford expensive desktop publishing software.

No problem!

In this manual, you’ll learn how to use Microsoft Word to make your book look as good on the inside as those published by traditional publishers. This manual is full of clear diagrams and covers subjects like:

Setting up page sizes and margins for your book
How to set up styles to make your text consistent
How to create your title page to match your cover
Inserting pictures and text boxes to create special effects
Using drop caps and dingbats

Plus tips and tricks most writers don’t know about professional page design and a full glossary of typesetting terms so the whole process makes more sense.
