If you think readers don’t or can’t discern between book pages “designed” with a word processor and those done by a professional, you’re wrong. A professionally-designed interior gives your book instant credibility with buyers. Designing and preparing book pages, whether for print or eBooks, goes well beyond setting the margins and choosing fonts. A professionally-designed page must meet the following minimum standards:

 

• Margins

• Readable Fonts

• Minimal Hyphens

• Correct leading between lines

• No paragraphs where the last line consists only of a word.

• The last page of a chapter should have at least four lines of text.

• A format that is visually appealing
