So, if you have an author newsletter–or, indeed, any other kind of newsletter–your email service will probably ask you to “authenticate your domain” or “align your domain.” They probably even have something adorable that you can...So, hey Katherine, how’d you lay out these books?
So hey, those are some good-looking books! who did your interior layout? That’d be me. 😉 Large Print: Atticus. Straight-up Atticus. Flawless, no notes. Ebook: Atticus, but I really wanted to add more space between my centered “attributions” at the...
So Hey, Katherine, How Do You Lay Out Your Books?
For my eBooks (I have one for sale and a slew of mailing list extras), I use Draft2Digital’s converter… but might end up using Sigil. I used to do webdev, a million years ago, and am comfortable in HTML and CSS. But I have yet to play with that. I mean, D2D produces...
