Since I'm going to have to screenshot this (easier than typing it out) for a friend who's asked about this, I'm going to make a post. I am asked this question a lot by friends who are building their book for print, so I may as well help everyone. Otherwise I'll have to retype this a thousand times more. This is for the margins. I use the 5x8 template in CreateSpace (preformatted) to do my paperbacks. So below is what I use in those templates for my margins. I've made a tutorial for the CS template to add more chapters into the preformatted template here:  http://www.arianabrowning.com/2012/02/how-do-i-add-more-chapters-in.html Feel free to enlarge the photo by clicking on it, if you can't see it properly. I can't remember if I altered this in any way, or not. I may have because I spent time comparing and measuring all my paperbacks from people like Dean Koontz, and Stephen King, Keri Arthur, and all the others I have, so I'm pretty sure I may h...

I know you've been waiting for a long time for it. And I am happy to say, do you hear that sound? It's me officially about to hit formatting stage of Always Consequences . Edits are done and I will begin formatting as soon as I tee tee. hahaha ETA: Halfway done with formatting as of a few hours after this post was first written up. ETA: Officially Done and Page is here with more info:  http://www.arianabrowning.com/2013/03/always-consequences-official-page.html#.UVTIoBz_mSo See the cover here, and how to add to Goodreads. :)  http://www.arianabrowning.com/2013/03/official-cover-for-always-consequences.html I am going to do this a bit different than normal, simply because it has taken me so long to get this book out. Having to find a dedicated editor and having my USB drive crash on me that held the book, covers, and everything else I was working on at the time, really  set me back. I am so happy to be at this point. And I know you guys are! I love my fans and it a...

How do you make more Chapters when you're using the templates from CreateSpace? I've noticed a lot of people having problems with the CreateSpace templates and when I went to look for this question, I couldn't find much information on it, plus it was late and I didn't care to sift through all the information.  So when I finally figured it out on my own, I thought I would go ahead and let you know how to. But with screenshots! I would try and make it as CLEAR as I could, and the process as SIMPLE as I could.  To start, I will say that there isn't really anything wrong with CS Templates... when you understand how to use them, and you figure out the fixes to do the changes you need. They are Templates. They aren't meant to be the complete answer to the needs for formatting a book. I changed a lot of the texts, and the customized "styles" that the person who made the template, had in there. To fit my needs for this particular book I'm work...

Signing up with Bloglovin so you can  Follow my blog with Bloglovin I'm just about to get to work on my CreateSpace formatting so that I can get my book in print, and I wanted to take a moment to say... wow. No, really, I think of how much work I've been doing just this year and I'm shocked at already getting my book up on two digital sites, which offers all the digital formats available. Smashwords: DARK ILLUSIONS: THE BEGINNING and Kindle/Amazon: Dark Illusions: The Beginning It's sort of unreal honestly. Maybe when the print book gets going it will feel more real. But for now, I write because I love to write, and because I want others to have something else to read. I love my fans and appreciate them SOOOOOOO much!! ♥ But the title of this post is Questions and Answers because I want to do just that. I want people to know that they can come to me whenever they have a writing question (or even selling Avon question... thought I'd throw that in there l...
