After all, no one else selling low content books on KDP was going much outside of the lined pages. If low content KDP sellers had a way to quickly expand their catalog to people who WANTED different products and were willing to pay, it could open up a brand new market. So we set out to build a dynamic interior generator which will automatically scale out interiors to any size book you are uploading to KDP and put in the work so that sellers could benefit.
We decided to give this all away for free! All of these templates are a lot more complicated than just your simple lined journals and notebooks that everyone is used to creating.
To use the generator, simply select bleed or no bleed I always select bleed , select the size of book you want to create, and the page count. After you have filled in the specifications box, select a template and then click on download!
Your PDF will open up in a new tab which you can download to your computer and upload straight away to KDP without doing ANY design work or wasting hours trying to come up with your own unique interiors yourself. Currently the interior wizard offers 48 templates and we plan add about 10 per month to this resource :. At first glance, it would be really easy to simply take these interiors, grab your covers, and upload them the way they are.
After all, if you had 1, covers, using all of these interiors, you would have 48, books up for sale on Amazon! Take a look at the Guest List Wedding Planner. These of course could be used for any type of wedding planner, but it is primarily a guest list that involves gifts given:. So instead of just putting up a wedding guest list planner right away, think to yourself, how else can this be used?
The first thing I did was check out other type of parties where people give gifts. This is a LOT better. There are only a few hundred results, and would fit perfectly with our interior guest list! The next thing you would do is head over to the keyword tool inside of Book Bolt and check out what keywords you could fit into your book backend keywords as well as fit into the subtitle when you upload to KDP.
These can all be used when uploading to make sure you are ranking for the right keywords. You can read about how that works here:. You could upload this interior as a wedding guest list like it is labeled. After all, people who get engaged are…. More than likely, the bride will be the one keeping track of the guest list and gifts received so these could work hand in hand to get your book ranked on Amazon!
The interiors that are provided in the Book Bolt Interior Wizard are not a magic bullet. You will need to put in the work and do some research on how to best use these like we laid out above.

So the Word document of a print book template should look smaller than it usually does if you create a new Word document. They are a good size for carrying around and are favored by novelists for that reason.
Margins are the space around the edge of the page where there are no words. Most Word docs have even margins on the left and right and also at the top and bottom. Pick up a print book and leaf through it. The pages on the left are generally even-numbered, while the pages on the right are odd-numbered. Left-hand pages tend to have a narrow left-hand margin and a wide right-hand margin. Right-hand pages have the opposite: a wide left-hand margin and narrow right-hand margin.
For formatting, they make life much simpler. KDP print templates use one particular style for all chapter headings. This gives consistency throughout the book and enables us to add an automatic table of contents at the beginning, complete with page numbers. Not using section breaks is where many authors go badly wrong with their print formatting.
If you can get to grips with these few things, you can get to grips with formatting for KDP print. There are some industry-standard things that we need to do to create a quality print layout.
Fortunately, we can set up a lot of them in the same place within Word! The safest way to do this without wrecking your manuscript is to make a copy of your current work-in-progress. Then, you can do your formatting work on the copy. All you have to do is follow this step-by-step KDP Print formatting guide and your manuscript will be ready to print.
For larger books, play with the gutter and inside margin and run it through KDP Print to check it. Then type in 6 and 9 in the Width and Height boxes. There are no hard and fast rules here, but nonfiction books will often choose this. It enables readers to find chapters more easily and presents clear definition between subjects.
If we chose ODD PAGE, it would force chapters to always start on odd pages, throwing in an essential blank page between chapters where necessary.
Type in 0. This gives enough space at the top and bottom of the page to allow for a header and footer with a little space between it and the text. Your manuscript is now set up as a proper book. All it needs now is a bit of tweaking. If you have sub-headings, you can make those Heading 2, Heading 3, etc. At the start of each chapter, you need to add a Section Break. You may have page breaks between chapters at the moment. Go through and delete those and replace them with section breaks.
It will put an invisible blank page in between, which will only show up when you convert the document into PDF format. If this was a nonfiction book, we might still do them this way, but we could choose to put them at the outer edges of the header instead.
This should bring up the Design toolbar on the ribbon. This will add a simple number with no formatting. Delete the line space that Word automatically annoyingly! But, after that, the rest of the document will follow the pattern without needing help! Most novels have the author name on left-hand, even-numbered pages, and the book title on right-hand, odd-numbered pages.
Type in your name. In novels, this is often centered, sometimes in capitals, sometimes in a different font. I like to use a smaller font size than the rest of the novel—generally size 10 if the novel uses size 11 or Notice that Word will have added this header to every even-numbered page…but not the odd-numbered pages. Double-click in the header of an odd-numbered page and type in the book title.
This should be replicated throughout the document. To give your book a special little something, you can add some additional elements that give it a truly custom look. A quick look at some print books should reveal something you may never have noticed before: a book often has two title pages.
But you do need a good title page of some sort. You can add one if you want to, though. For instance, the Harry Potter books have them. Lots of novels just use the number of the chapter. Do use a Heading style though, so they all stay consistent. Many traditionally published books set the chapter titles about a third of the way down the page. Modifying the style will ensure that all chapter titles sit at the same place on the page.
Note: A two-line drop cap can be easier to manage than a three-line if you tend to use short paragraphs! Glyphs are a visual or pictoral font used below a chapter name. They can look quite stylish, especially if not over-used! Microsoft Office comes with pre-loaded fonts, some of which can be utilized for this.
Webdings and the Wingdings family are excellent. You can also download other fonts from places such as Google Fonts and FontSquirrel. Just check that they are allowed for use in print books. You may have to give credit on the copyright page of your book. While on the subject of fonts, this is where some authors can betray their lack of design training. Many authors find it irresistibly tempting to go old-school PowerPoint and include multiple fonts, sizes, borders, and varieties of clipart.
Professional book designers recommend using a maximum of two fonts—especially on any one page. So that would be one font for body text and another for chapter titles and subtitles. This is an invaluable aid in letting you know that your book will look good in print.
