Interior Design & Typesetting

If you’re old enough to remember when typesetting was a respected craft, welcome. So are we. If you’re not, we’ll be happy to demonstrate.

Today, the tools to arrange words on paper are everywhere, and it’s easy to assume that book design is a simple process. The fact is that there are dozens of rules to be followed when setting up the pages of a book. In addition, quality design and careful typesetting are artistic skills, applied with maximum reading comprehension as the ultimate goal.

A book interior created in a word processor is a sure-fire way to announce that your book is self-published. And even if you purchase page-layout software and navigate the steep learning curve, chances are slim that you’ll achieve the same results as an experienced book designer.

Just as with the cover, a professional interior design helps to establish your credibility to the buyer, who is, as yet, unfamiliar with your content. 1106 Design can help you craft a “real” book that will make reviewers, distributors, and retailers take note.

A book should be proofread twice: before typesetting begins and after the pages are formatted. When 1106 Design designs and typesets the interior of your book, we always offer complete proofreading by an expert…a service that most typesetters do not provide. And if you think you don’t need proofreading because your book was edited, think again. We always find errors. Without this important step, so will your readers.
