What file types can Draft2Digital take and make?

Modified on Mon, 3 Feb at 11:30 AM

The most popular file format that authors upload is a Word document. Upload your book in .doc or .docx file format, and we'll convert your manuscript into an ebook or print book. Anything Word can read, we can read. (RTF, OTF, TXT, too!)


If you already have an epub of your own, Draft2Digital accepts epub files for ebook, but not print. We won't make any changes to your epub formatting, but we'll gladly distribute it to all our digital stores for you. 


Files types that Draft2Digital will NOT accept:

Draft2Digital does not accept thumb drives or other physical media. 

For security and logistical reasons, we are unable to accept documents or files submitted via thumb drives, CDs, or any other physical storage media. Please submit your digital manuscripts and related materials through our designated digital upload system as a word doc, docx, odt, rtf, or epub file format.


Draft2Digital does not accept Physical Printed Copies for transcription or Resale.

We cannot process or resell physical, printed copies of books or other materials. We cannot scan or transcribe physical printed books into word document form for you.


Draft2Digital does not accept Handwritten Manuscripts.

We are unable to accept handwritten manuscripts for typing and resale. If assistance is needed, we recommend reaching out to a professional transcription or formatting service.


NOTE: If physical materials are mailed, these items will not be returned to you.
