: Re: Best e-book formatting process? The question I would like to ask is this: does anyone else have their own process (or one borrowed from elsewhere) that they use for formatting and then creating

Scrivener has a learning curve but there are a number of good online courses that will get you going if you have not used it before. I took the course offered by Gwen Hernandez and it was very good, but there are others.

My process is:

Write the book in Word
Import the book into Scrivener
Divide the Word documents into chapters
Format the chapter headings
Create the TOC
Add the cover photo
Export to .epub
Expert to .mobi

There are so many people using Scrivener these days that there is a great deal of specific how to information available online. Many authors also use Adobe InDesign to produce their e-books. I have used Scrivener for several years so I have used Scrivener for my first e-book, but I do plan on learning InDesign in order to have more formatting control.
