Meet the instructor
Hi, I'm Jody Skinner.
Since 2017, I’ve formatted hundreds of books using InDesign and Vellum—and I believe every author should experience Vellum’s power firsthand.
I’ve broken down the Vellum formatting process into bite-sized video lessons over in my longer course, and this shorter version has selected lessons for people already familiar with Vellum's basics.
My mission is simple: to build a supportive publishing community and empower both Mac and PC users to produce a beautiful book you’re proud to hold—and sell.
Ready to put these proven techniques to work? Let’s get your manuscript truly publish-ready!
