Book Templates

Every author has a different modus operandi for working. Some use pen and paper, some use laptops. Some need absolute utter silence with just the right type of incense while others are perfectly happy writing at airport gates.

If you happen to be of the type that also likes to use Microsoft Word, then I thought I’d provide a few sample files for anyone else that wants to follow my own personal m.o. For me, I love editing the book in its final format: a nice, 5.5″ x 8.5″ page size, with page numbers, alternating odd/even headings, title verso, and the works. It just plain works for me, but I’m weird that way.

If you happen to be like me, give one of my templates a try. You can either pick a format, or download the whole thing. To pick the right template, just pick the quadrant that fits you best:

I want sample text and instructions I just want a blank document
I can handle duplex (two-sided) printing and intend to print booklet size download (90kb) download (44kb)
I can only print one-sided or want to print full sheets download (90kb) download (43kb)

The documents use Gentium for the body font and Dolphin for the title font. The author is not responsible for horrible font substitutions.
