Common Questions About Book Formatting

Formatting is one of the most technical steps in the publishing process. A manuscript that looks fine in a word processor can have serious layout problems when converted to a print or digital file. Getting the formatting right before submission saves time, avoids rejections, and ensures your book looks professional in the hands of readers. Here are answers to the questions authors most commonly ask us about book formatting.

Bookmarks_publication
What does book formatting actually include?

Book formatting covers the layout and structure of your manuscript's interior. This includes setting margins, font styles and sizes, line spacing, chapter headings, page numbers, headers and footers, table of contents, and image placement. For print books it also includes bleed settings and trim size setup. For eBooks it includes reflowable layout and proper file structure for digital reading devices.

Bookmarks_publication
Do I need separate formatting for print and eBook?

Yes. Print and eBook formatting have different requirements. Print formatting uses fixed page dimensions, specific margins, and exact image placement. eBook formatting uses a reflowable layout that adjusts to different screen sizes and devices. We handle both formats and deliver the correct file types for each so your book is ready for submission to your chosen platforms.

Bookmarks_publication
What file do I need to provide to get started?

You can submit your manuscript as a Word document, Google Doc, or PDF. We review the file, identify any formatting issues, and then apply the correct layout for your chosen format and platform. If you have specific style preferences or platform requirements, share those with us at the start and we will incorporate them into the formatting.
