Dive Into Book Design

A podcast just for self-publishers who want to learn more about creating print books. If you’re a self-publisher and have ever wondered what font you should use or what the trim size of your book should be or what is leading anyway, then this is the podcast for you. Dive into Book Design aims to inform, educate, and empower self-publishers so that their books will be indistinguishable from books published by traditional publishers. I’ll talk about typefaces, why you should use some and why you should never use others. Trim sizes, how to figure out your margins, and lots of other good stuff including conventions and when you should break those conventions. You can expect an episode every two weeks, so 2 or 3 episodes a month, but sometimes there might be more. And most episodes will be between 30 and 45 minutes. So, if you’ve ever been curious about book design or want to take your books to the next level, this is the podcast for you.
