Your Book Deserves the Best Layout. Let’s Make It Reader-Ready!
In the competitive world of publishing, the content of your book is just one part of your success. The other crucial factor? How your book looks and reads on the inside. That’s where professional book formatting and interior designing come into play.
At 24by7 Publishing, we believe that every book—whether it’s a novel, memoir, poetry collection, academic guide, or children’s story—deserves to be presented in a way that honors its content. With our professional formatting and interior layout design services, we turn raw manuscripts into beautifully structured, print-ready books that engage and delight readers.
What is Book Formatting?
Book formatting is the art and science of preparing your manuscript for publication—ensuring it meets the technical and aesthetic standards for printing or digital publishing. This includes:
- Proper margin setup
- Page size adjustment
- Consistent font usage
- Paragraph spacing
- Chapter headings & hierarchy
- Page numbering
- Running headers/footers
- Table of contents generation
- Alignment of images, tables, charts, and other media
- Section breaks and front/back matter styling
Whether you’re self-publishing or working with a professional press, improper formatting can turn readers away—even if your content is brilliant. That’s why investing in professional formatting services is non-negotiable for serious authors.
What is Interior Designing of a Book?
Interior designing takes formatting to the next level. It’s not just about structure—it’s about style.
Interior book design includes:
- Selecting aesthetically pleasing font pairs
- Designing ornamental chapter openers
- Decorative borders or flourishes
- Custom page backgrounds (especially in color books)
- Creative section dividers
- Icon usage or callouts for themed books
- Enhanced layout for children’s books or art-based publications

When formatting meets interior design, your book becomes an immersive experience. The right interior layout can emphasize emotions, improve comprehension, and even boost memorability—especially for readers of nonfiction, poetry, or children’s books.

Creating a Visual Experience that Readers Love – Deep Dive into Formatting Essentials
In Part 1, we introduced the essentials of book formatting and interior designing and how it can transform a manuscript into a polished, professional publication. Now, in Part 2, we delve deeper into the advanced aspects of formatting, design strategies, typographic principles, common pitfalls, and the unique benefits of custom layout solutions tailored by 24by7 Publishing.
The Psychological Impact of Interior Design on Readers
Believe it or not, the way a book is designed inside can drastically affect how it is received by readers. Whether it’s a self-help book or a children’s fairytale, the internal layout shapes how readers interpret, remember, and enjoy the content.
1. First Impressions Matter
A clean, aesthetically pleasing layout ensures that readers feel at ease from the first page. Disorganized formatting with inconsistent spacing, bad font choices, or poor image alignment immediately signals unprofessionalism.
2. Enhanced Engagement
For non-fiction, visual anchors like bullet points, side notes, tables, or color cues help retain attention. For fiction, proper paragraph flow and unobtrusive design maintain immersion.
3. Emotional Connection
Children’s books benefit from playful elements like color usage, large fonts, and graphic motifs that mirror the storyline. Meanwhile, memoirs and poetry collections leverage whitespace and stylistic typography to evoke introspection.
Typography: The Soul of Book Formatting
Typography is the art of arranging type. Choosing the right font, spacing, and structure can be the difference between a smooth read and an abandoned book.
Key Elements of Good Typography:
- Font Choice: Serif fonts like Times New Roman and Garamond work well for print books. Sans-serif fonts like Helvetica are often better for eBooks.
- Font Size: Typically, 11 to 12 pt is standard for readability. Children’s books may use larger sizes.
- Line Spacing: Proper line height (1.2 to 1.5x font size) prevents visual fatigue.
- Margins & Alignment: Balanced margins and justified text ensure neatness.
- Hierarchy: Headings, subheadings, and body text should have consistent styling to guide the reader’s eye.
Common Book Layout Styles Used by 24by7 Publishing
We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all. Depending on genre, audience, and author preference, we apply specific layout styles:
1. Traditional Novel Layout
- Simple chapter headings
- Uniform page numbers
- Basic serif fonts
- Left-aligned or justified text
- No visuals or minimal section breaks
2. Poetry & Anthology Layout
- Varied alignments (left, center)
- Creative whitespace use
- Page breaks per poem
- Occasional decorative elements
3. Academic & Research Books
- Multi-level headings
- Footnotes and endnotes
- Lists, diagrams, graphs
- Table of contents with navigation markers
4. Children’s Book Layout
- Full-bleed images
- Colored text elements
- Decorative fonts
- Bold, large headings
5. Business or Motivational Books
- Highlight boxes for key points
- Chapter summary sections
- Bullet lists and tables
- Icons and infographics
Formatting for eBooks vs. Print Books
Although many design principles overlap, there are key differences between print and digital formatting:
eBook Formatting (Kindle, EPUB, PDF):
- Responsive layout for different devices
- Hyperlinked table of contents
- Flowable text vs. fixed layout
- Embedded metadata (title, author, keywords)
- Compatibility across Kindle, iPad, Android devices
Print Formatting:
- Fixed layout and pagination
- Paper size compliance (A5, 6×9, etc.)
- Print-safe color use
- Spine, bleed, and margin setup
- High-resolution file output (PDF/X-1a standard)
At 24by7 Publishing, we format your manuscript for both print and eBook, delivering professional files for each.
Customization Options Available
Every author and every book is different. That’s why we offer a wide range of customization:

- Language Direction: Right-to-left support for Urdu, Arabic
- Color Usage: Full-color or spot-color designs
Formatting Mistakes to Avoid
Even experienced writers can fall into formatting traps. Here are some common errors we correct:
- Inconsistent Fonts: Switching fonts mid-book due to copy-paste
- Manual Page Breaks: Creates erratic print outputs
- Overcrowding Pages: Reduces readability
- Misaligned Images: Looks sloppy and amateurish
- Improper Margins: Causes text to get cut off during printing
- No TOC or Navigation: Particularly harmful for non-fiction and eBooks
Avoiding these issues improves both the aesthetics and readability of your book.
Boosting Sales Through Design
Yes, a well-formatted book can actually improve sales. Here’s how:
- Higher Reviews: Readers enjoy books that are easy to read and visually pleasing.
- Better Read-Through Rates: Especially for educational or long-form nonfiction.
- Brand Recognition: Consistent interior styling across multiple books builds author identity.
- Improved Distribution: Print-ready files pass publishing checks faster (Amazon KDP, IngramSpark, etc.)
Many 24by7 Publishing authors have seen sales upticks simply from a relaunch with improved formatting.
