Find a good editor if you feel you need one. Have another set of eyes when preparing for a self-published book. Get all the grammar and spelling in order before you format your reports.
Format your reports in a word processing program. Make them uniform and easy to read and understand. The easiest way to format reports for self-publishing is by planning ahead according to the size of book you want. Look at the sizes you have to choose from in the online program through which you choose to publish. While you are formatting your reports, make sure the size of the page is formatted to the size of the book you are going to make. If you are making a 6-by-9, make the margins in your word processing document 6 inches by 9 inches.
Create a cover or hire someone to make one for you. You can use your computer's art program or download free photo editing and art programs on the Web. Alternatively, you can use a free template that the POD company offers.
Upload all your book data to the site you are using. Most of these sites want your documents and images to be in .pdf format. Create .pdfs of your book and cover. Because you formatted your document's margins, the .pdf should come out the right size for printing the book. You will be given a proof of your book to look over before publication and, depending on what program you use, it will be in digital format or you will have to buy a copy to preview it.
Set a reasonable price for your book. Read about what royalties you get and make a determination about what to price your book for.
