Exceptional Time Saving Training

Lynn - 14th May 2012

I did not look forward to what would likely be days and days of trying to figure all of this formatting out, I decided to give this a try. I had my first Kindle publication formatted within just a few hours -from start to upload - watching each step-by-step video. I tested the Kindle file and it works perfectly. The video and instruction are excellent and now that I've watched the training, my next epub formatting will go even faster -using DIY eBook Formatting Kit for Kindle and EPUB reference as needed. Thank you!!!

Incredible Product

Carol R. - 27th April 2012

This is, by far, the most user friendly formatting product I have seen. I was able to become functional in Sigil very quickly. The videos and manuals are superb. The templates in the kit are worth their weight in gold. Thank you, Suzanne, for an exemplary product and for wonderful customer service.

You need this kit!

Carol Roby - 27th April 2012

I know HTML but epublishing, not so much. I did some online tutorials, and wasted a lot of time formatting my friend's book - only to find out that mobipocket generator doesn't work on computers with IE9 installed - gah! While searching for answers to that connundrum I stumbled upon Suzanne's blog and youtube videos. I was saved. With Suzanne's materials I learned Sigil in a day and had the 152 chapter book totally reformatted and behaving in under 2 days. I had one glitch I could not solve, and Suzanne responded IMMEDIATELY to my email for help with a solution. Wow! Talk about customer service!! This small investment will save you tons of time, help you organize your work and produce a final product that behaves the way you want across multiple formats. The templates alone are worth the cost of admission. Suzanne's materials are spot on what you need to get started and quickly oriented to Sigil. I am positive that having her videos tremendously shortened my learning curve. Thank you Suzanne!!!!

Thank You!!! Suzanne

Suzanne,

Just wanted to thank you for your fine kit. I had my first novel done by a professional. He did a perfect job and I was quite happy, but at a price, $150. I came across your kit when I decided to try it myself. I had background in BASIC programing, but had not used it in a long time, so I felt it could not be that hard, and it wasn't. Using your formant template and videos, I was quickly able to catch on to basic HTML. When done with the project, validation found no problems, and also the same on the IDPF validator. I donated to all the sites. I was able to add my cover and five pictures. I downloaded the Kindle Previewer and found it converted Ebub to Mobi. So I transferred the mobi file to my Kindle to check each version out and make sure the chapters and pictures fit and aligned properly.

I just uploaded my second novel "The Land of Bloody Headwaters Gold", tonight and put in on Kindle Select. My product turned out every bit as good as the one I paid for.

Thank You,
James L. Griffith

DIY Kit Helps Ease the Jump into eBook Formatting

Daniel Thompson - 11th January 2012

I was excited to help my spouse put out her first full length novel in digital form. I had read a few books on epub and Kindle formatting, but still felt a bit overwhelmed by the task. Using the Unrulyguides.com epub DIY Formatting Kit, and following the videos on youtube made the step-by-step process much easier, and we were both proud of the end result. It looks great in ePub and Kindle output, and is selling well. The DIY kit helped take the step in to ePub creation, and I look forward to learning more. Thank you for your work in creating this kit, and making the videos.
