Self Pub 101 (Shape & Size)

Arm in a yellow cardigan reaches to pull a book off a shelf

Imagine holding your book.

What size do you want your book to be?

Will people be carrying it around?

Will they be writing in it?

What size and shapes are the books you examined earlier? Why do you think they chose that size?

How long is your manuscript? How many pages?

Check your printer and see if there are any page count requirements. There may be a minimum page count for hardcover books for example.
