To create an ebook of your fanfic you may need a couple of programs, the first of these is:

Calibre ebook Converter (File Converter).

Calibre will allow you to convert word documents into epub or mobi file formats. Below you’ll find a quick guide on how to convert your stories into epub/mobi formats:

Calibre Converting Guide (Users Guide).

Unfortunately Calibre does sometime have difficulties converting correctly, if that is the case you might wish to use:

KompoZer (Epub Editing Software).

This will allow you to edit converted epub files so you can make the corrections as needed. Below is a link on a guide for new users:

KompoZer User’s Guide (Users Guide).

To be able to edit mobi’s formats, try converting them to epub by using Calibre and then opening with KompoZer.

Reminder: You should always ensure that you have a ‘backup’ of all you files before you start altering them. This is to ensure that you have something to fall back on incase a disaster occurs!

Tip: Google doc’s is a free online word document system that can be access all over the word and at anytime or place (so long as you can connect to the internet). You can download these ‘G-doc’s’ onto your computer can they can be converted as well.
