Book Formatting

Book Formatting

Formatting is a critical element of the publishing process and includes choosing the proper page size, styles, spacing, and settings for your book. It is a vital design element that requires a clear and readable typeface and a layout that is appealing and inviting to your reader whilst adhering to professional standards.

At Turtle Publishing, our design experts can ensure that all decisions related to the formatting of your book are made collaboratively with you, using your ideas and our expertise to create a successful finished product. Our process involves the creation of an initial preview layout for review. Once approved, the complete book formatting process is underway, with the end goal focused on bringing your manuscript to a design standard expected by your reader. The finished product can include images, photographs, graphs, and tables. Many authors require tables or diagrams which we can assist in creating.
