1. Open Book Designer
Select Book Designer and click new design to start creating your book.
2. Pick Your Novel
The Book Designer starts by asking you to choose the novel you want to turn into a book.
Select your novel and click Continue.
Tip: Choose the completed manuscript you want to format. You can always return and make changes to your novel later.
3. Set Your Page Size
Choose the page size for your book.
The page size determines the physical dimensions of your finished book, so choose one that fits the type of book you're creating.
Tip: For a traditional novel, choose a standard book size rather than an unusually large format.
4. Choose Your Chapters
Select the chapters you want to include in your book.
This lets you control which parts of your novel appear in the final book.
Tip: Check your chapter list before continuing to make sure nothing is missing.
5. Arrange the Chapter Order
Set the order in which your chapters should appear.
Make sure the chapters follow the same sequence as your story.
6. Choose Your Base Font
Select the base font for your book.
Your base font controls the main typography used throughout the book, helping create a consistent reading experience.
Tip: Pick a font that is easy to read for long passages. Decorative fonts are usually better suited to titles and special elements.
7. Customize Your Book Design
Once your book is set up, use the available design controls to customize how your book looks.
Depending on the controls available in WriteO, you can adjust things such as:
Typography — customize how your text looks.
Page layout — control how content sits on each page.
Chapter styling — give chapter openings a consistent look.
Spacing — adjust the space between elements for better readability.
Book elements — customize the visual elements used throughout your book.
Tip: Keep your design consistent. Using the same typography, spacing, and chapter style throughout the book creates a more professional result.
8. Preview Your Book
Before finishing, preview your book to see how the manuscript looks as a formatted book.
Check:
Chapter titles
Page breaks
Text alignment
Spacing
Overall readability
Chapter order
Tip: Always preview the entire book before finalizing it. Small formatting issues are much easier to catch here.
💡 Quick Tips for Book Design:
Keep it readable: Prioritize comfortable typography over overly decorative designs.
Stay consistent: Use the same styles throughout your book.
Check chapter breaks: Make sure new chapters start where you expect them to.
Preview before finishing: Look through the formatted book for spacing or layout issues.
Design for the reader: A good book design should feel polished without distracting from the story.
