Back Ups: Indie Publisher: The New Publishing Entrepreneur by Nina Amir. By Nina Amir (@NinaAmir) In our enthusiasm to get our books written and published, we often lose sight of the fact that there’s a lot more to self-publishing a book than writing the manuscript.
In this article, Nina Amir tells us the reality of the work involved with self-publishing. Do you think you’re up for the challenge? It’s seems to get easier and easier to self-publish a book every day, especially an ebook. More ways exist than ever before to get a manuscript in the hands of readers.

Get Willing or Get a Team. Virginia McKevitt author: Keeping Sane with Createspace (editing your manuscript made easy) Hello everyone.
Today I am posting an article on getting your manuscript ready for Createspace (you can stop pulling your hair out now, lol).

There are several sizes but we are talking today about formatting a 6x9 paperback, one of the most popular sizes. The first thing we will discuss is setting margins: If you do not set your margins correctly your book will print too far into the gutter or too near an edge, (the gutter is where the books is bound together by glue). Keep the margins at .75″ except the outside margin, which is set at .5 to give you a little more room towards the outside edge.
