Edit your book

If you have just finished writing your book, do a spell check for basic grammatical errors. If you need help with editing, you can opt for our Editing Services. After editing and proof-reading is complete, your manuscript is ready.

Format your book

After the actual content is ready, it needs to be designed such that it looks good when printed. You can format or typeset your book using your favorite word processor (Microsoft word, Openoffice.org etc.) or opt for a DTP software for advanced control (such as Adobe InDesign, Corel Draw, Scribus, etc.). The specifications of how to prepare your book for submission to Pothi.com are available here. If you wish to format your book yourself, our Writer's Corner provides you with tips, tricks and other help. If you wish to get your book professionally formatted, you can check out our Pothi.com Formatting Services.
