A friend and I have been looking at several and trying to assess why some look self-published while others don't - I think this is a big key. (As well as making sure images blend well and are cropped professionally, etc.)Lynnette Bonnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14256307943304175911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4885439936550427776.post-15647137819871729802013-06-12T13:42:26.573-07:002013-06-12T13:42:26.573-07:00Good article.

I use Word and hate how difficult their program makes it to get the page numbering right. But Google is your friend and there are lots of instructional blogs out there and with a little work, I got it figured out. PLEASE don't leave page numbers on blank pages, or on the front matter of the book. It really makes them look unprofessional. :)Lynnette Bonnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14256307943304175911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4885439936550427776.post-52540470410313757602013-05-01T11:21:56.228-07:002013-05-01T11:21:56.228-07:00Oh, yes, I'd be lost without those templates f...Oh, yes, I'd be lost without those templates from Createspace for the interior!!! I'm technologically clueless, so they are the only reason I'm able to do this myself. =) Good points, thanks for adding them, Leslie!Kimberly Raehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08648393867226454489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4885439936550427776.post-43000549055819207512013-05-01T11:18:58.199-07:002013-05-01T11:18:58.199-07:00That was a nice summary, thank you!

Your readers may also want to pay attention to left facing and right facing pages, making sure that the first chapter DOES land on a right-facing page. CreateSpace offers a Word template for interior files, too. Thanks Kimberly!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
