Sigrid,
I've been formatting my book as a word document, but I've been doing it two sheets to a page so the pages will be half the size of a regular 8 1/2 by 11 page. I'm confused because when it says to format it as a word doc, does it mean just type the pages in a regular word doc as 8 1/2 by 11? If you pick the 6x9 size book on lulu, will it just come out that way? I'm used to formatting in the smaller size and sending it to a printer exactly as it will be printed. I think I'm confusing the two.

I'm working on an anthology, but I'm also thinking of a poetry chapbook.
