A native of northern Kentucky, I spent the 1990s in Memphis before moving to New York. I am the author of Why They Cried, an e-book collection of short stories out now from Joyland and ECW Press. The collection includes versions of five stories that were first distributed via Feedbooks--both stories from Single and three from Cassingle--plus five additional stories. My nonfiction and humor pieces, meanwhile, have appeared in Slate, Radar, Print, the New York Daily News, and the New York Post.

Most of these websites do direct conversions, while we have something similar to an XML workflow.
To keep a consistent look across our books, we white-list only a limited subset of CSS properties, and almost every XHTML tags.
As a source, I would avoid using Word as much as possible on your end. XHTML is a much better alternative overall.
Word can be pretty problematic when you cut & paste because it adds a lot of garbage and usually generate messy HTML. We try to fix this, but there's a limit to what we can do.
