Create an Industry Standard Book That Your Readers Will Love
Create a beautiful, professional book in the software you already know. Built to publishing-industry standards, our templates help your work stand out and steer you clear of the common formatting mistakes that mark a book as self-published. Each one is handcrafted by award-winning book designers, so you start from a foundation that looks right.
The Right-Sized License for Every Book and Budget
Because we're indie authors too, we know every author's path is different. Some will publish a single, cherished book; others are building a whole series. Rather than spending the time and money on a custom design, our licensing options let you choose what fits your project and keep it on budget, whether that's one book or many.
Incredible Design Selection and Great Results, Guaranteed.
Easy to Use
Nobody knows your book like you do: its voice, its rhythm, and how you want readers to feel as they turn each page. Our pre-designed templates take the guesswork out of formatting while leaving you in control, so you get a polished, professional interior without the learning curve. It's why tens of thousands of authors, from grad students to grandmas, use our templates to bring their books to life.
The Software You Already Use
Every author has a favorite writing program. Many use Microsoft Word, others love Apple Pages, and graphics professionals reach for Adobe InDesign. Depending on the design, our templates support one or more of these, and the specifications on each product page show exactly which formats and trim sizes that template includes. Whichever applies, you'll get clear, step-by-step instructions so you can put your template to work the moment you download it.
Sizes to Fit Your Book
Books come in many shapes and sizes. Many authors choose an industry standard like 6" x 9", others prefer a pocket-sized 5" x 8", and European authors often favor A5. Each template includes a range of sizes suited to its design, listed in the specifications on its product page, so you can pick what fits your book.
Format Your Print Book and eBook Together
Our templates combine print and eBook formatting into a single, streamlined file, so you can lay out your book for print-on-demand and for eReaders like Amazon Kindle in one pass. It's the quickest, easiest way to produce a beautiful interior for both at once.
Fully Customizable
There's no one-size-fits-all book, so we never lock down our designs. Substitute fonts, adjust spacing, or modify the layout as you like, and use the full power of Word, Pages, or InDesign, from footnotes and endnotes to photos and graphics. You get professional results and the freedom to make the book your own, in software you already know.
Save Time and Money
Hiring a professional to design and format a book interior can cost hundreds or even thousands of dollars. Our templates give you that same professional look for a fraction of the price, designed by award-winning book designers, so you keep more of what your book earns.
