Bethany Atazadeh - YA Fantasy Author's video: FORMATTING A NOVEL FROM SCRATCH in MICROSOFT WORD for Self-Published Authors Formatting Part 8

Bringing together everything in this series: the 10 essential formatting rules, front and back matter, sizing and resizing, fonts and styles, inserting images, and creating unique chapter headers all into one video to show you how to format your novel from scratch without a template (or it could also apply to modifying a formatted template if you do have one). This is NOT teaching each of these steps, so if you need to learn how to do one of these, make sure to watch the video on that subject here: FORMATTING PLAYLIST: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL3IFBPbxQRypIBssmfDTmyFi68zmk5l-L (1) Introduction to the Series: https://youtu.be/PcE4Dt-QvCU (2) 10 Essential Formatting Rules: https://youtu.be/cOYMi86Q60w (3) Front and Back Matter: https://youtu.be/iJgGVlLvDHs (4) Sizing (and Re-sizing): https://youtu.be/gE_8QW2PN3s (5) Fonts and Styles: https://youtu.be/FhWz3jpIfQM (6) Adding Images: https://youtu.be/w_fvrjRWVcQ (7) Chapter Headers: https://youtu.be/ggTzOpLE_90 Template: WWW.DIYBOOKFORMATS.COM ___ 📚 CHECK OUT THE STOLEN KINGDOM SERIES: https://www.bethanyatazadeh.com/thestolenkingdom ◦ THE STOLEN KINGDOM: https://books2read.com/thestolenkingdom ◦ THE JINNI KEY: https://books2read.com/thejinnikey ◦ THE CURSED HUNTER: https://books2read.com/thecursedhunter ◦ THE ENCHANTED CROWN: https://books2read.com/theenchantedcrown ◦ The Stolen Kingdom Audiobook: https://www.audible.com/pd/B088FVQNJK/?source_code=AUDFPWS0223189MWT-BK-ACX0-195681&ref=acx_bty_BK_ACX0_195681_rh_us ___ ❤️ CHECK OUT MY MERCH STORE: https://teespring.com/stores/bethanyatazadeh 📖 BECOME A PATRON to receive digital early reader copies of my books, writing & publishing advice, help with your author platform, meet writer friends, and so much more! https://www.patreon.com/bethanyatazadeh 💻 SIGN UP FOR MY AUTHOR NEWSLETTER for FREE exclusives (starting with the first HALF of The Stolen Kingdom + a step-by-step self-publishing guide and template): https://www.bethanyatazadeh.com/contact ___ 📒 CHECK OUT MY OTHER WORK: ◦ EVALENE'S NUMBER: https://amzn.to/2LyJt87 ◦ PEARL'S NUMBER: https://amzn.to/38FsJok ◦ HOW YOUR BOOK SELLS ITSELF: https://amzn.to/2KdOUZx ◦ GROW YOUR AUTHOR PLATFORM: https://amzn.to/3oKIMXz ◦ BOOK SALES THAT MULTIPLY: https://amzn.to/3spHXpd ◦ THE CONFIDENT CORGI: https://amzn.to/3oUIa1u ◦ Novel Planner Notebook: https://amzn.to/2LvyD2G ___ ❤️ COMPANIES I LOVE & AM AN AFFILIATE FOR: ◦ PUBLISH AND THRIVE: https://heartbreathings.teachable.com/courses/publish-and-thrive?affcode=145068_cetumz57 ◦ THE BOOK LAUNCH PLANNER & STICKERS (10% off discount code is BETHANY10): https://thebooklaunchplanner.com/?ref=QOknrNnHtPsOE ◦ EPIDEMIC SOUND (where I got the music in this video and others!
