When it comes to self-publishing your book, it can feel like a million tiny details with no clear map.

What size should your book be?

How do you set margins?

Why does the text look weird when you upload it?

And don’t even get us started on bleed, trim size, or page breaks…

Sound familiar?

  • You’ve spent hours Googling formatting tutorials, downloading random templates, and watching confusing YouTube videos that leave you more lost than when you started.
  • You’ve opened and closed your book file more times than you can count—only to keep second-guessing whether it’s actually “right.”
