MORE CREATIVE CONTROL

More Personalized Than Standard. Simpler Than Full Custom.

Standard formatting gives every book a clean, professional foundation. Enhanced Interior Formatting goes further by giving your designer greater flexibility to create a more distinctive visual identity and giving you the opportunity to guide the details that matter to you.

Typography
Personalized font choices, sizing, and text presentation.
Chapter Styling
Distinctive chapter openers and section treatments.
Spacing & Layout
Personalized spacing and layout rules for your interior.
Visual Details
Coordinated headers, footers, dividers, and decorative elements.
YOUR PERSONALIZED STYLE SYSTEM

Guide the Details That Matter to You

Before design begins, you can share preferences for the elements that matter to you. Your professional book designer uses your input, along with your book's content and genre, to create a custom style sheet in Adobe InDesign that establishes the design rules used throughout your interior.

Font style & size
Line spacing & margins
Hyphenation preferences
Chapter openers
Section treatments
Header & footer styles

Don't have strong preferences? That's fine, too. You can leave those creative decisions to your professional designer.
