Make sure you read, and re-read what you enter for misspelled words, missing words, etc.

Here is where you will start uploading your cover or creating one online
#7
You need to fill each of these in while your files are in review.

This is what the formatted template looks like in your Microsoft Word. See what I mean about easy? You just replace what they have with your books contents.
