There are a few overall book styles to choose from – Science-Fiction to Classical Romance to Non-Fiction in tone – and pretty much every aspect can then be tinkered with. If you switch this to ‘Styles’, you can edit how your book will appear once it’s formatted. You may have noticed that at the top of all these book parts is a tab labelled ‘Contents’.

Vellum will fill out some of the copyright details for you, but it’s also simple to add ‘Also By’, ‘Forewords’, ‘Dedications’ and ‘About the Authors’, plus more, by simply clicking ‘Chapter’ at the top of the screen and then choosing whichever part you require from the drop-down list under ‘Add Element’. It’s also easy to put together front and back matter.

You can assign your chapters as just that – Chapters – and they’ll be brought together as the main bulk of your book, and if you’re putting together a Box Set you can put the chapters of each book into a ‘Part’ or ‘Volume’, therefore segregating them in the Contents page. The latter definitely saves you some time, though you may want to go through the resulting document to make sure that every chapter has been separated correctly.ĭown the left hand side you’ll find the different ‘parts’ of your book. So how does it work? Well, you have two options to start with: either re-type your book directly into Vellum, or import your Word document directly. At $199 for the eBook edition and $249 for the eBook and paperback edition, it’s hardly cheap – but the end results are undeniably stunning.

Vellum (the software, not the goat skin used for old documents) is a Mac-exclusive piece of software that formats your manuscript into eBook and/or print formats. There are a few options available, including Draft2Digital, Reedsy and Scrivener, but the best choice available is probably Vellum. Of course, you can try formatting it yourself… but your best bet is going to be using software or a service of some kind.

So you’ve written your book – now what? You need to transform your manuscript – whether that’s in the form of a Word document or a pad of notes – into something which not only can be uploaded to the various digital storefronts, but looks like a professional formatted book as well.
