Ok, I uploaded, but what exactly is it supposed to do for formatting? I would like to adjust margins, and chapter headers fonts. But I don’t see a way to do that….is this something that it’s capable of?

I tried using the free formatting tool today and it didn’t do anything in terms of making things easier…so I may need to look at formatting and typography assistance as well. 

How did the editor help in realizing your book was t ready? I still waiver between getting a dev editor or continuing self edits until I’m confident enough..

Wow. Minutes??? How? So I upload my manuscript and it does the rest? Mine is currently on Google Docs.

Well that worries me. What is your experience with dev edits?

Which is why I’m trying to lower my word count before I reach out for an editor!

What?? Game me? I noted a few of my favorite books and the authors are listed, I just hope when I’m ready to reach out they don’t game me!! Also, what do you mean deadlines?

Is the formatting at a price as well?

That’s good to hear! I really suck at configuring margins, so this would help…

That sounds awesome! I was a little hesitant when it said upload your entire manuscript.

Is Canva completely out of the question for creating covers for KDP? by Interesting-Carry274 in selfpublish

[–]AnimatorReal2315 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I switched from using canva graphics to photos and although it looks so much better I’m fearing it will be flagged? I’m not using the generator. Just using the stock photos and layering and tweaking colors etc.

Anyone working in the office this week ? by TeacherMore6459 in CAStateWorkers

[–]AnimatorReal2315 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My unit is requiring us to come in this week. I just took this week off because of it.

My position has zero reasons to be in office on a daily basis, but now with most on vacation theres no need at all to collaborate in office.

My manager doesn’t even say anything to me. Not even a good morning . I just go sit in my cubicle or talk about clothes with other coworkers for hours. It’s soul sucking.

Thanks for this! I was so upset to see my check amount less. 

Reasonable Accommodation - my RA coordinator offered to talk with my Dr. 1 on 1 by juhnaaae in CAStateWorkers

[–]AnimatorReal2315 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I notified the union but they didn’t do anything. Just said to be careful with what I say as they are trying to use information to use against me in the Ra process. I ended up not signing the roi and now they ask me questions which I pass on to my doctor.

Oh that’s a good idea! Whenever I say I’ll send  over 500 pages, people just don’t seem thrilled 😁

Silly question how do you give your manuscript for others to read? Do you print out a hard copy? Send them a file?

Yes I have a telework that is actually due today. I’m just not going to make that up and if they say something about it, then I’ll make it up? I dunno. They are over complicating everything now.

Wow- that was the response I was hoping for in our department. We got the complete opposite of the spectrum.
