How to Format Your Book's Interior

 

 If you are a writer who is thinking about self-publishing for the first time you will have to think about your books interior when you format your eBook and also your Paperback. There are usually a few differences between the two.  Such as, in an eBook, you won't necessarily have to think about putting an ISBN number inside your beginning pages, (which is your books identifying license), whereas, in a Paperback book it is recommended that you do.

     In an eBook, I always like to start my first page with my Book Cover Picture and then move onto the Title/Author page, and then the Copyright/Disclaimer page.  Of course, in a Paperback when you open your book you should see your Title/Author page, and then the Copyright/Disclaimer page if you are self-publishing.  

     If you are published by a traditional publisher you will not have to worry about this because the publishing company will take care of these pages for you before they print your books for distribution.

     Here is a video that I found on youtube.com where someone is talking about this in a little more detail below:

     Here is a sample of my interior that I used for my Romance/Erotica eBook:  "The Ugly Side of Paradise".

     There is really no right or wrong in doing this if you follow the basic setup that most books have in regards to this.  In fact, I'm sure you can pick up any book around your house and open it at the beginning and find that the formula for doing this might be slightly different, but it will also basically be somewhat the same.  

     In my next blog entry, I am going to talk about how to make a clickable, linked Table of Contents for your eBook. This is something that will be very important to your book if you want to have your book be digitally mastered as an eBook.

     So stay tuned.
