Writers looking to self-publish their work and wise to explore various content preparation and book marketing services. For example, finding a skilled cover designer and developing a launch PR plan are essential. However, the importance of a well-designed interior must not be overlooked. Many readers still prefer printed books (around 80 percent), so providing them with a great reading experience is crucial. The best praise a reader can give your book's interior design is not even to notice it, which only happens when the layout and font choices are both well thought out and executed.
Today, hybrid and self-published books are widely recognized, but they must uphold the same quality standards as those produced by traditional publishers. Enlisting the right professionals for content preparation is essential to ensure a polished presentation. Additionally, don't overlook the importance of having your book expertly edited. Pay attention to significant elements like typography and layout, making the book content visually appealing and comfortable to read over extended periods. A common font size is 11-point, with some publications opting for 10-point or 12-point.
Quality books pay attention to all the details, as anything that detracts from the reading experience can have negative repercussions. Consider some key principles as well: using text fonts larger than 12-point may lead readers to perceive the book as aimed at children. While you might want to stand out or be creative, adhering to established norms can prove beneficial. Some specialized audiences, like senior citizens, may require larger font sizes and different layouts, but these cases are relatively rare. But straying outside the standard range can compromise readability, so proceed with care as you decide.
Additionally, online booksellers may flag books with font sizes larger than 12-point, which could influence potential readers' perceptions of your work's quality. Margins are another essential factor to consider when selecting a font and size. Providing ample breathing room for the text can enhance readability. If you feel tempted to cram pages with text to reduce page count and printing costs, reconsider. Readers appreciate comfort when engaging with a book. It's even more important if you plan to write additional books. When you give readers a good experience, they will buy future books.
