Course Overview
Save time designing beautiful print and ebooks for Apple Book, Kindle, and Nook using the free Vellum for macOS.
Go from manuscript to published in 1/10th the time!
You've written short stories, your first novel, a technical book, or your autobiography or memoir. But, you have a tight budget or don't want to deal with rejection from big-name publishers.
You can self-publish – and it won't take you hours and hours to figure out complicated desktop publishing applications like Adobe InDesign or Windows Publisher.
You can do it all in a matter of minutes with an app that one author called "the best tool for the ebook formatting job."
This course will help you take your completed manuscript and get it designed and ready to publish on Amazon Kindle (KDP), Apple Books, Barnes & Noble Nook, Kobo, Google Play store, or your website, all with one easy-to-use application that is free to download on your Mac.
Vellum is a publishing application for macOS that makes it easy to design a beautiful ebook for multiple digital stores in one simple process. It will also allow you to prepare a version for printing with just a few extra clicks.
In this course, I'll help you download and install the software, practice with sample material, and then import your prepared manuscript and get it ready to upload to various marketplaces. You'll be one step closer to earning a passive income with your writing! We'll cover how to ensure your book looks great in print, whether working with a local printing house or publishing through online services like Amazon KDP or IngramSpark.

It's ridiculously out of date! I want a refund now

Woefully out of date, Vellum has evolved enormously since this tutorial, and it has not been updated in years. It gives you the basics of the basics, and nothing that you could not get on the Vellum tutorials by yourself (and for free). Not worth the price.

I like this -- Does this teacher do one on one tutorials?

Loved the course! It was clear, concise and extremely user-friendly. I will, obviously, return to it in the future for further updates. Thank you so much.
