Last Friday, I came home and found a box awaiting my arrival. My CreateSpace copies had arrived! Things I would change: Greater top and outside margin. The top margin was a little too high for my liking. And the outside margin didn’t quite seem to match up with the inside. Design cover off the right…

The Interior
I submitted my files for CreateSpace review today. I finally decided to finish fiddling with interior formatting. I had reviewed The Book Designer documentation, referenced my sister-in-law’s books, and reached the edge of my frustration and creativity. Interior formatting wasn’t as easy as I’d thought it’d be.

So if you know anyone who would be interested, please let me know. I’ve been dabbling with different formats to make the reading experience as easy as possible. I know…
