Generate Perfect Digital Ebooks With One Click, And Publish Like The Pros To Kindle and Beyond Using Vellum For Mac
As an indie author myself, with over 200 books presently generating income on autopilot for me (admittedly some more than others!) I know how important it is to be able to create the best looking books you can, with the least amount of hassle.
Technical headaches, design challenges and software issues present many stumbling blocks for indie authors, and there is nothing worse than discovering that your magnificent new book looks like a dog's dinner once it has been uploaded to the digital book stores. Enter Vellum.
Vellum is without compare the easiest and quickest way to create and generate publish-ready digital ebooks that look polished and professional from cover to cover.
Even more amazing is that Vellum allows you to do this with no design skills, zero technical know-how regarding html, clickable T.O.C., or any of the geekish horrors that may present themselves in your journey from your book idea to published-and-selling.
Let me walk you through Vellum's incredibly easy and intuitive features so you can enjoy these benefits for yourself:
- A beautiful interface that makes creating your book a walk in the park.

- Point-and-click professional styling for your book from cover-to-cover.
- One click book generation for any digital platform you choose to publish to.
- 5 Minute Box Set creation in minutes (seriously, just a couple of minutes and your bundled box is ready to upload to Kindle or elsewhere - this needs to be seen to be believed)
- My Seamless Publishing Strategy (only for those who want to up their game and remove the roadblocks that stand in the way of your success).

A very well organized course. The instructor was very clear on how to proceed at each step. I am planning to post some questions, and then will be able to use this information immediately on my own projects.

I had great hopes for Vellum. While the teaching was pretty good they failed to mention that Vellum has some huge paperback flaws. It will not allow you to add blank pages in the front of a book like professional books have. It also will leave orphans or widows on a page when it claims it automatically fixes these issues. I emailed Vellum on many formatting issues with a paperback and they had no solution. I had to get a refund for their program as it is not needed for an eBook since Word makes it so easy.

I noticed this course is almost 4 years old now so researched Vellum. They have a program that does both paper back and e-books which I plan to buy. After receiving a $500.00 quote to have my book formatted, I decided to learn how to format myself. Since I work from a MAC, this class was a perfect option for me. The pace was perfect, sound quality was good and I could understand every word the instructor said. I'm sure Vellum has made improvements to their program the past 4 years. This was a great class. Would like to see another on Vellum's formatting for print books.
