DIY BOOKLET MAKING / Step By Step Tutorial / Make Short Story Booklets at Home / For Author Tables
Making your own short story booklets at home (DIY booklets) is a great option if you’re looking to setup an author table at a local vendor market or craft sale. It’s also a great way to see how interested people are in your writing. In this video we’ll go over all the steps to get your short stories formatted, printed and packaged into a booklet format.
We will cover:
1. Formatting your story in MS Word, including margins, spacing, font and images.

3. Paper selection for your interior.
4. Getting the correct barcode format for your ISBN number, to place on the back of your cover.
5. Setting up your cover for printing using graphic design software.
6. Choosing the right printer for your cover.
7. Paper selection for your cover.
8. Printing your booklet.
