TUTORIAL: How to Format Your Book With Scribus |Typesetting A Novel | Format Your Paperback for FREE

In this video, I will show you how to set up Scribus to typeset your book. Typesetting, also known as book formatting, is one of the critical sets in preparing to self-publish your book. Scribus is free, open-source software. I have used it to typeset multiple books of my own and for my clients. It is a little clunky at first, but this step-by-step tutorial will show you exactly how to do this for yourself.

** I'm no longer offer formatting services. First, I don't have the time to do everything now that I have a baby girl. Second, I found a company that can do it better than I did for the same price. Check out Formatted Books: formattedbooks.com/?ref=31 **
