Great title/body copy font combinations that work
Many people may not think about how important formatting the interior of your book is, but small changes in readability can have a big effect for your audience. By choosing heading and body fonts that complement each other, you'll find that your readers will hang on to your words a little easier.
Choosing the Right Image for your Book
When you are busy writing, editing, and crafting your book, the images you use may be an afterthought. Whether you are including them within the text of your book, or you need the image for the cover, it can be easy to find what you want online. However, it's important that you do this with caution so you don't get hit with fines or worse, have someone file a lawsuit against you. Here are a few ways to safely find images and—more importantly—how to make sure you are allowed to use them.
How Do You Choose the Right Font for Your Book?
It’s no great revelation to say that printed words are the basis of books; the average novel contains around 80,000–100,000 of them. We commonly say we're “reading a book,” but we’re really reading thousands and thousands of words.
Despite their importance, I’m willing to bet you've never told someone “I loved this book! The characters were so real, and the font! The font was just incredible!”
Printing words on a page seems simple enough until you recognize the challenge publishers and printers face: the words should essentially be invisible.
