After submitting your first format for publication, a pop up will confirm that your book has been submitted. This pop-up also includes a yellow button that allows you to begin creating the next format of your book immediately.

If you choose not to continue with creating another format right away, you can do so later from your Bookshelf page. You can also use the Bookshelf page to create a different format before publication.

When using these buttons to start publishing your book in a different format, much of the information will already be populated. 

As before, go through each section carefully and complete any missing details. 

You may need to update the ‘Categories’ section again, as e-book and paperback / hardback categories differ between formats. 

If you are using your own ISBNs, you will need to enter a new, separate ISBN for each format.
