Our Free Publishing Resources page will direct you to an enormous library of different informational articles, guides, professional networks, and other great resources, including formatting tools. In particular, our Book Creation Guide includes all the specs to help you get your file set up right, and our Design Guide Bundles include template documents in all our most popular sizes. Our Fun With Formatting webinar is a detailed tutorial that walks viewers step by step through formatting the interior of a novel in Microsoft Word (seriously, I have watched this webinar every time I’ve created a book for myself, it’s extremely helpful).


And hey, while you’re over there on our YouTube channel, we also have a playlist of tutorial Finland Email List videos to guide you through setting up interior and cover files, as well as exporting your print-ready files. “Print” Your Book Once you have your file formatted exactly the way you want it, including all your front matter (title page, copyright page, table of contents, dedication, things like that) and your back matter (acknowledgments, index, author bio, etc.), the absolute last final step to finalize your book’s interior is to create a print-ready file.




This step is SO important because it guarantees that all the hard work you just put into formatting your book is preserved and translated correctly when your book goes to our printers. How devastating would it be to spend all that time making the pages look just right, only to receive your proof copy in the mail and realize the formatting got all messed up in the print process? You don’t want that, and we don’t want that for you. So, print-ready PDF files.
