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.
That’s why I’ve broken the entire Vellum formatting process into clear, bite-sized video lessons so both Mac and PC users can create professional-quality print and ebook files on your own schedule and budget.
My mission is simple: to build a supportive publishing community and empower you 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!
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this course suitable for beginners?
Absolutely! With the bite-sized, self-paced video lessons you can learn what you need and stop when you're done. Then come back for more, if and when you're ready.
What if I already use Vellum?
This course includes special edition formatting, custom chapter text, and other next-level techniques, which you can buy separately here. If you feel either course isn't worth it to you, write [email protected] within 30 days of purchase for your money back.
Do I need a specific computer?
Any Apple computer with one of these operating systems will run the latest version of Vellum. I have a section specific to PC users with a guided walkthrough for connecting to the website called MacinCloud, which is an additional expense starting at $1 per access hour.
