Typesetting Together Insights, information, advice, and behind-the-scenes looks at creating clean and minimal page layouts that follow typesetting best practices and match publishing standards. 📖✨ By: Ines Book Formatter

Happy 2025!

Welcome to my new email series. 📩

Typesetting Together is your chance to get inside my brain and gain insights that will support you on your publishing journey.

When I think about my values and the reason behind my business, I find myself reflecting on how much I enjoy supporting people within the writing/publishing community. This is what I aim to do and I hope you will stick around.

Talk soon!

PS: I started rewatching Schitt's Creek over the holidays and it's definitely one of my favorite sitcoms. 😂

3 dreamy fiction book projects...

... I’ve had the honor to work on in 2024:

For book 2 in this Moons & Magic series, the author asked me to reuse the same page layout and formatting elements from book 1. This is a great way to make a series look consistent, reduce production timelines, and lower costs.

The author reached out looking for a standard page layout that would be clean and professional. I used the same fonts from the cover design in the chapter opening pages to tie the interior design to the cover.

I created a custom page layout for the first book in The Myths of the Northern Lands series – which features a lot of different sections and elements. By customizing it now, we’ve set the foundation for future volumes, which will reuse this layout as a template.

🎬 Behind the scenes

3 tasks I'm currently working on:

📖 Cleaning up the manuscript of a memoir before starting the process of typesetting.

📖 Implementing edits on a biography based on feedback from the author and proofreader.

🗂 Backing up all files from 2024.

⬇️ Tip:

Use my checklist "Preparing Your Manuscript for Typesetting" to make sure your manuscript is clean before starting formatting and page layout design.
