Typesetting
|
|
|
 |
|
Typesetting for your book
includes choosing a font or typestyle, type size,
line leading, and hyphenation settings for the
text of your book.
Type
styles 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 size 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.

Page 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 thoughout 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 show 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 temporarily put down the book. The style and
layout of your chapter title pages can be designed
to draw the reader back into your storyline. 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's
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; whereas,
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. |
