I’m working on formatting my book and e-book, and I want to get it right. I know there are different standards for print and digital formats, but I’d love to hear from those who’ve done it before.
For print books, do you prefer justified text or left-aligned? What’s the best font size for readability? And how do you handle margins and spacing to make it look professional?
For e-books, I’ve seen recommendations for reflowable formats like EPUB and fixed layouts for certain genres. How do you ensure the formatting looks great across different e-readers? Any tips on handling images, fonts, or hyperlinks?
Also, do you use any specific tools or software to make the process easier? I’d love to hear your experiences and best practices.
What’s one formatting mistake you wish you had avoided when publishing your book?
In this forum, authors are sharing their questions and experiences about formatting both print books and e books, highlighting common struggles with alignment, fonts, margins, and digital layouts. As a book publisher, I’ve guided many writers who searched for book publishing near me, and I’ve seen that careful attention to these details makes a huge difference. One frequent mistake is overlooking how different devices display text, which can affect readability and presentation.
