Author Description

This book helps you make formatting decisions when designing your CreateSpace book.You need to decide:Which font should I use?What font size is best?Should I use block paragraphs or indented?How much space should I have between paragraphs, if any?What margins will look best?The problem is that you can't see the results of your decisions until you've finished your book and sent off for, and received, a proof. Until you get a physical book in your hand, you can't get a good feeling for how these decisions will affect the appearance of your creation.Sure, you can get representations on your computer screen, but there's no way to know, for example, whether the text will be lost in the inner margins, or whether it will be big enough to read comfortably.The CreateSpace Formatting Sampler (6x9) will solve that problem. It is a sampler or gallery of many different formatting styles that you might use with your 6x9 trim size book. Here's how it works.Each of the 24 chapters is four pages long. The first page describes the exact parameters that are used for that chapter such as, font, font size, margins, etc. The next three pages continue to use that chapter's style. Within each chapter you will see exactly how your book would look were you to use that chapter's combination of font, font size,justification style, etc.As you look at those pages, you'll say things like "Hmm, that looks nice." or "Oh no, I don't like this, the text is too large!"To summarize, for a few bucks, purchase the CreateSpace Formatting Sampler and consult it when making important decisions about your book. This will be cheaper than going through several proofs for your book.Note that this book is for 6x9 trim sizes only, and is in no way sponsored, endorsed, or otherwise affiliated with CreateSpace.
