I’m about to publish my book, but formatting is turning out to be harder than I thought. I want it to look professional, but I’m not sure if I should learn how to format your text into a book myself or hire someone.
If you’ve gone through the process, did you use any specific software or service? Was hiring a professional worth it, or is formatting your text into a book something that’s easy to do with the right tools?
Great question! For clean typography and print-ready layouts, tools like Vellum, Atticus, or InDesign can work wonders. DIY is fine for simple interiors; hire a pro for complex layouts, images, or non-fiction with tables. Always use styles, check widows/orphans, and test print proofs. Budget tip: start DIY, then pay for a final polish. Like mastering Drift Boss —easy to start, hard to perfect.
