Mastering Book Interior Design: A DIY Formatting Workshop with Atticus

with Monique Nelson

In the ever-evolving landscape of self-publishing, the presentation of your book plays a critical role in capturing your audience’s attention and delivering a professional reading experience. This workshop is designed to help self-publishing authors understand the best practices of designing the interiors of their books, and equip them with the skills needed to DIY their formatting at a professional level.

This comprehensive workshop, led by Monique Danielle, Educational Content Curator from Atticus, is divided into two insightful sessions. The first hour delves into the best practices for interior book formatting. We’ll explore the principles of typography, margin settings, and the importance of choosing the right fonts and spacing to enhance readability and aesthetic appeal. This session aims to demystify the process of turning your manuscript into a visually appealing product that stands out in the competitive market of self-published books. We’ll also discuss how to identify when you’ve gone too far and need to rein in the design elements.

After a short intermission, the second hour is dedicated to a practical demonstration of Atticus.io, the cutting-edge book writing and formatting software designed for self-publishing authors. This live demo will walk you through the easy-to-use features that Atticus offers, from the on-page design elements to customizable themes and exporting multi-format publish-ready files. We’ll showcase how Atticus simplifies the writing and formatting process, ensuring a polished and professional final product every time!

Participants will leave the workshop equipped with practical knowledge and skills to professionally layout their book’s interior pages, along with firsthand experience in using the intuitive Atticus software to bring their publishing dreams to life.
