Book Design
How your book looks once it’s in a reader’s hands is almost as important as the content itself! Please note that this process can also be called “formatting,” “typesetting,” or “layout services.”
Book Design Timing
Now that you’ve had your work copy edited and gotten a cover made, it’s time to focus on how the interior of your book is going to look. The process is slightly different for printed books and digital books.
Concentrating on the look of the content is best done after the content is set and you won’t be touching it again. This is why I suggest getting book design services after your copy editing is complete. At this point, you shouldn’t be making any major changes (if any) to the text. Once the layout specialist designs the interior of the book, you shouldn’t be adding or removing sections, nor rearranging anything.
Trying DIY
If you’d like to try doing your own formatting, you’re more than welcome to. If you’re not savvy with a lot of the more sophisticated software, you may need to be patient as you spend the money to purchase the software and take the time to learn how to use it via YouTube videos or online help forums, or by just jumping in and playing around with the system.
