| Typesetting |

|
Typesetting
for your book includes choosing a font or typestyle, type size, line leading,
justification and hyphenation settings for the text of your book.
Typestyles
should be chosen carefully for their readability. Serif fonts are traditional
for novels and books, while San-serf fonts are used more often in manuals and
children's books.
|
| |
The
type size should be adjusted for readability. If your book will be read mostly
by elderly people make the type size "large print" to accommodate your
readers. A larger type sizes may add pages to the book but it will make it more
enjoyable for the reader.
The combination of fonts used throughout the book should compliment each other
for a more pleasing overall design. |

Design & Layout |
| |
| The design and layout
of your book should reflect the subject of the book and style of your writing.
The design and layout of your book will combine choices of fonts, illustrations
and other elements placed on pages using a consistent layout design though out
the book. |
| |
 |
Consistency
in the chapter title pages and the text pages
brings the design together. |
|
| Section
Pages |
| Used
to separate different sections of a book or when a book contains more than one
book within a novel. These pages will always be on the right hand side of the
open book to delineate that what follows is a new beginning point in the story.
A stylized font, graphic elements and/or illustrations can be used to add style
and distinction to these types of pages. |

|
| Chapter
Title Pages |
| Chapter
title pages are a break in the story and a chance for the reader to put down the
book. The style and layout of your chapter title pages can be designed to draw
the reader back into your story line. Chapter titles, drop capital letters or
a font change of the first words or letters of the beginning paragraph can be
used to add to the style of these pages. Unique illustrations for each chapter
add a certain style and flavor to the book and make it easier for readers to find
the place where they left off reading. |

| Text
Page Layout |
| The
layout of the text pages depends on the elements you want to include. The title
of the book, author name, chapter name, chapter number and page number can all
be included. Page numbers can be placed at either the top or bottom of the page
where as typically the other information is placed at the top of the text column.
Text size and formatting along with rules or simple design elements will help
distinguish this information from the main body of the text. |
