How to prepare your manuscript for ebook publishing

A short checklist for editing, front matter, and formatting before you upload.

Start with a finished edit

Formatting a manuscript that is still changing wastes time. Complete your edits and proofreading first.

Check your front and back matter

Add a title page, copyright page, and a short note to readers. At the end, invite readers to leave a review and find your other books.

Choose a clean structure

Use real chapter headings and a linked table of contents so readers can navigate easily on any device.
