Prepare the book before sending it

Exporting does not begin with choosing a file type. In Plumelin, you prepare the cover, interior, supporting pages and format for the person who will receive the book.

See how the book is prepared

Design the cover

The title and author name belong to the book. Edit them here as you would in Plumelin; the exported file uses the same information without asking you to enter it again.

Colour

Lay out the interior

The template controls margins, body text, chapter openings and pagination. The book opens into a readable design made to remain stable in the final file.

Format
Paperback 14 × 21 cm
Text
11 pt type, 15 pt line spacing
Chapters
New odd-numbered page

Finish the book

The synopsis, publication details and back cover complete the book. Plumelin Certification can accompany the work when its writing history is documented.
