Sample text

Q: I’ve already formatted my book perfectly into separate versions for PDF, Mobi and others. Can’t I just upload my books and bypass the Meatgrinder? No, sorry, we don’t accept this, and for good reason. It’s important that books come to us in a common format so we can ensure the files are virus-free, free of DRM, and free of strange permutations that could cause unexpected problems for our customers. One of our retailers, Sony, requires us to create a specially modified EPUB file for them, so this is another benefit of having Smashwords perform your conversion.

Because our process is automated, the book you publish on Smashwords may not be formatted as perfectly (or imperfectly - sometimes Meatgrinder actually improves the formatting) as you formatted it in your manuscript. There are pros and cons to such automated conversions. The advantage of this automation, especially if you carefully format your book to the Style Guide, is that Meatgrinder will allow you to instantly publish a good-quality, multi-format ebook, ready to be enjoyed on any e-reading device.

Most Smashwords experts can complete a book in under one hour. Novels are easiest. If you decide to skip the Style Guide because you already have decades of experience in publishing, then you’ll frustrate yourself and waste time. ) without publishing experience who decided to create a faster, simpler approach to ebook publishing. Don’t be discouraged by the length of this Guide. It has a lot of pictures to help guide even computer novices down the path to formatting success, and it’ll save you money in the process.
