I'm on the road to self-pubbing on Kindle and I have a friend who's helped me tremendously. Without her I had no idea of what 'formatting' really encompassed. Good for you for taking your rights back and doing it all on your own. Best of luck with it.Anne Gallagherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05816355522284492131noreply@blogger.com
