Visit our FAQs for more details on experimenting with book sizes.

  • Begin uploading your manuscript by simply clicking the "Upload Manuscript" button to launch the manuscript upload wizard.
  • Select your manuscript file from your computer, and wait as we upload the file into the DIY self-publishing template, and run a series of technical checks to prepare your galley (or book's interior) for publication.
  • Once the wizard is finished, you can review your galley proof by downloading the formatted PDF or Microsoft® Word document.

You can make as many corrections or adjustment to the galley as needed until your book is perfect. Once you're satisfied with your book's interior, approve the galley and move forward to work on your book's cover.
