Julia is a saint for giving away her trade secrets! I had a lot more ease of mind seeing that while there were a few formatting things I could have done better, I did a lot right and that feels really good to know.
The information in this book is so helpful and honestly makes me want to attempt formatting in word again… Almost. I don’t know if I’m fully that brave. But if any thing would help, it would be this book!

Gosh - I so needed this book! Why?
Me writing - Yes!
Me formatting - Boo, no thanks!
But that has all changed now - I actually (dare I say it?) really enjoy it now. Ok, perhaps, not enjoy exactly, let's not get too excited haha - but I do have a better handle on it now. Thanks to this formula.
Not only is it a step-by-step guide to making your books look polished enough to go shoulder-to-shoulder with traditionally published books, there are also numerous visual examples. It's told in an easy to understand manner, and of course displayed beautifully too.
I will be reaching for this over and over - thanks Ms Scott!
