Format the Interior

Before we finalize the book cover, we need to make sure that your interior is properly formatted.

Formatting Checklist

Make a copy of this "Formatting Checklist" and use it as a guide for properly formatting your manuscript for printing. This includes getting the correct margins, font sizes, page numbers, etc.

Important Tip:

As you format your manuscripts for printing, remember that page one is on the right. If you want something on one particular side of the book, be mindful of what page number it is on. For example, if you want a chapter to start on the right side of the book, make sure it is on an odd numbered page.

If you feel stuck or are not sure how your story is supposed to look, take a book off your bookshelf and use that as a reference. Not all books are formatted exactly the same, so look at a few different ones for ideas.
