#Blurb bookwright tutorial free

Once I was done with my book, I was able to preview it, and then send it to to publish. Sometimes I took the suggestions and sometimes I didn’t, and it still printed fine. An orange box would show up when my formatting wasn’t ideal. It was simple to drag and drop pictures into the book, add pages, and then copy and paste text from the tutorials and patterns I had already written. I used some of the preset layouts, but it was also very easy to create my own layouts.

I chose to use BookWright because I had used it before and it’s very user friendly. You can also use BookWright’s import feature to transfer content from your blog straight into your book.

I gathered high-resolution photos for all my projects, and then plugged them into BookWright, Blurb’s own free publishing software. “Yarn Over” is a crochet term that you use in pretty much every crochet stitch, so I felt it was a fitting title for the book. To create my book, I decided to center it around simple crochet projects I’ve shared on my blog and some of my paid patterns. We already know and love Blurb’s photo books, which are great for printing family photos and memories.īut they also offer magazine and trade book formats that still have the great picture quality Blurb is known for, and they’re produced at a price that you can mark up and sell. So, when Blurb reached out to me about their new self-publishing format I was super stoked to try it out. There is also a lot less freedom in producing a book about what you want, the way you want. The thought of authoring my own DIY book has always been a distant dream.īooks are a ton of work and the opportunities with publishing companies are few and far between. This post was created in partnership with Blurb.
