Description

Ready to start creating books like a professional? Adobe InDesign is the industry standard for book designers for a reason: it's powerful! But all those features can get confusing. In this course, I'm going to show you the step-by-step process to format a novel or other manuscript into a tidy professional book interior.

This will create an interior that is ready for printing with Amazon KDP, IngramSpark, or any other book printer.

Our sample is going to be a no-bleed book interior, but we do touch on how to calculate the page bleed if you're designing something with edge-to-edge images!

By the end of this course, you're going to be able to produce a finished professional book interior. You'll have the skills necessary to create as many books as you like; this is great for self-publishing authors, but also designers who are looking to add another type of design skill to their portfolio!

Instructor's Courses

Hi there! My name is Rebecca, and I'm a full-time creative. I make videos for YouTube, write and design books, run a handful of Etsy shops, do some illustration and music, and most importantly, teach creative people like you!

In a past life I was a university lecturer and researcher. I loved every (stressful) minute of it, but I am so thrilled with the twists and turns that led me to my entrepreneurial life. I've been full-time self-employed and doing creative projects since 2017!

My goal is to provide practical, hands-on skills along with knowledge that can only come from experience. Everything I teach is something that I really do - usually as an income stream or as a client service. I was always told that I had a gift for explaining things clearly in a way that anyone can understand, and I hope that comes across in my lessons! :)

I hope you find something that catches your eye from my library of courses. Happy creating!
