Hi Everyone!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After publishing my new novel Price: Polestarr<\/a> via Amazon, I eagerly waited for my first paperback copies to arrive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When they did, I noticed that the Header & Footer information was curtailed and not displaying correctly – the author \/ book title in the ‘Header’ and the page numbers in the ‘Footer’.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s taken a little while to lock down the issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I write my novels in Apple’s Pages programme, having found it ideal for formatting both e-book & paperbacks, plus I write on a Macbook, so for me the choice of writing programme was almost automatic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, when uploading a manuscript to Amazon for publishing, they don’t accept Pages files and stipulate Word.doc or pdf files.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When I uploaded my first novel – Price: World, I had difficulties with the pdf file so for Price: Polestarr<\/a>, I opted for the conversion to a Word.doc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It seems that during the transition process, Word corrupted the Header \/ Footer and hence the printed version of the novel showed these two elements curtailed. The novel \/ story itself is present in its entirety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Having persevered, I was able earlier today, to finally upload a replacement manuscript that has the correct Header & Footer information showing in full.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My apologies to everyone who’s purchased the paperback version previously and I hope your reading enjoyment has not been affected by the formatting to Amazon’s requirements, for at first, comparing files, it seemed the problem lay with Amazon themselves – perhaps some shift in stated page measurement with what was being printed etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So Author frustration over for now..<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
