The Fickleness Of Formatting; (Can I Get A Witness?)
Ok, so you've ingenuously woven together the plot of your amazing book, working tirelessly into the wee hours of the morning pouring your heart and soul into every last line. When your story is complete, you do multiple revisions, making sure that your wording and grammar are completely polished and publish ready... But then, us indie authors have the "fun" task of perfectly formatting our books to meet with professional publishing standards. For my first book, I used Kindle Create, which is a simplistic formatting tool. (of course I needed to use their default font, which came out terribly light on the page after publishing, not to mention that my chapter 1 began on page 2.) I am now at this critical juncture once again with my 2nd book, and I do not wish to rely on Kindle Create for this one... What do some of you folks use to correctly mirror your pages and to place your headers and footers so that they are elegant and your roman numerals are correct? (ii for copyright, v for TOC with other front matter correctly unnumbered.) I've typed everything out on microsoft 365, and they don't even have a means to mirror pages... Please share your thoughts, and your well appreciated tips with me. :)

@Stacey Herndon That's wonderful Stacey, and what is your book about, if I may ask?

@Cynthia Moore Thank you Cynthia. I did try Atticus, but I couldn't find my uploaded files on it. I'm glad that your experience with it was positive.

Amazon removed almost 20 reviews
Amazon removed almost 20 reviews from my book. Overnight. No explanation. These were genuine reviews from real readers. Some of them were people from my audience who bought the book themselves. Some even shared photos of the book in their hands. I haven't reached out to Amazon. I wonder what they may do next....remove a few more? I noticed that the most 'gushing' or complimentary reviews were removed first I have seen some posts about this here. Any suggestions at all?

I don't know, but if it were me, I would seek to talk with someone at Amazon personally to obtain a reasonable answer and to avoid ambiguity. If honest reviews are being flagged, it would mean that they think you are breaking the contract rules in some way. If nothing more, I would want to explain my side to them.

@George James Going by your avatar it appears that you are a spiritual thinker Geroge. In the book I am currently publishing, I wrote extensively about King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon and his staff of spiritual advisors. Interesting and relevant material.

@Koli Cutler Wow, those are two great questions Koli, and thank you for asking. What is in my heart is a love for all people, and a desire through what God has invested in me to share the grace that I have been given, as I have been rescued out of many things in my life. What is in my book is the True Story of a Judaen teenager taken captive by King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon, who through faith and blessing rose to great power in that strange and foreign land. His name was Daniel, and the spiritual visions of future events that he received prove with pinpoint accuracy the validity of Biblical prophecy, much of which is unfolding in the time that we live. God gave me a clear roadmap to write this book for the benefit of all who will read it with an open heart. "DANIEL THE PROPHET, SERVANT OF GOD IN A STRANGE LAND" I will be running a pre-order campaign on Amazon beginning in a couple of days. My target date to publish is 2/28, and those who order in advance can receive a portion of the manuscript in a PDF. Just let me know in chat that you have taken up my offer. I would appreciate honest reviews of this work as well... It if for all of you that I have devoted myself to writing, so get in touch and let's be friends! Sincerely, Gerard Troise
