    Quick tip: You can easily add a "Page break" by pressing "ctrl + enter" on your keyboard. I hope someone finds this helpful.

      It’s still a job that humans have to do, same with writing. Tools can help, but either you hire a book designer or you go through the hoops on your own. Plus ultimately humans will read it, so having a personal touch makes a difference.

    Very helpful, thank you sir. Curious though, so many videos show that your manuscript should be double spaced, but every video I find, there's no double spacing. Is it as simple as writing your manuscript, then when you're done, highlight the whole thing and change it to single space? Why not do that from the beginning? And the headers and footers have different info. Like, the page number being at the top with your name and word count, etc. Thanks!

    This video has really helped me a lot, thanks so much Sean. However, still having some difficulty. Reedsy is not showing my sub-chapters. My chapter 2 has sub-chapters and i have set them all as headings 2 and 3 while formatting on Google docs, but after importing on reedsy, everything is perfect except for the table of contents. I followed your video carefully and implemented it, I highlighted the chapters and selected headings 3 on the table of contents section, but the sub-chapters are still not showing, please how can I solve this? How can I make these sub-chapters appear on the table of contents? Thank you.

    Hi Im doing the 7 day challenge. havedone all the steps in Reedsy however the Epub downloaded zip file does not open. I also recieved this message from KDP when i tried to upload the manuscript :
    Uploaded on October 30, 2024 08:35 AM GMT. Your ZIP file contains files in the wrong format. Zip files can only contain HTML files and images. Other formats shouldn't be compressed into a ZIP file. Please refer to our formatting guide for more information. I am now stuck because each time I go back to reedsy i get the same download. The PDF version opens just fine, no issues with that one.
    Please advise

    I just uploaded my VERY simple word file to reedsy and it looks wrong - i have not done anything but upload....My word file has 2 images in where the text flows around the images but in reedsy it does not look like this. In Reedsy there is an image then below it the text - i want the text to be written on the right of the image as it is in word - like a newspaper....I have also uploaded to amazon kdp looks the same in the viewer and changed the word doc to a epub file and the same again....
    I dont get why all these systems instantly change the formatting in word! Any ideas? thanks.
