In this first group of templates we’ve intentionally kept things simple, leaving many of InDesign’s complex features out in favor of your ease of use.Īlthough these are intended for fiction, they can be used just as effectively for nonfiction books like essays, memoirs, biographies, and any other manuscript with minimal formatting requirements. Premise-brings a balanced and rational tone to your most dramatic stories.Legend-evokes the feelings you stir in your readers, with an elegant script display front and a traditional page layout.Flourish-a balanced look with colorful and distinctive typography.Crimson-classic elegance that can turn even a long manuscript into an intimate reading experience.Bomber-assertive display typography combines with smooth and readable text to make sure your readers enjoy every page of your page-turner.Balance-a clean, uncluttered look for your contemporary novel or literary nonfiction.What you’ll see there are six fiction-oriented designs that are similar to our first six templates for Word. Here’s a link to our new InDesign Gallery: See the InDesign Templates Today we change that with our first selection of templates for Adobe InDesign. Providing authors with templates that would produce truly good-looking books, ones that would stand up to the books produced by trade publishers, yet require no great experience in typesetting, typographic design, or page construction. Now for the Other Shoe-Adobe InDesign Templatesīut even with all the great feedback, and the expansion of our brand into lots of other templates and a growing number of tools for authors, I was still waiting to realize my original dream. Over the last 21 months thousands of authors have used our Word templates to do their own formatting, at a fraction of the price it would cost to hire a typesetter.Įvery month we get contacted by authors who are just thrilled at the ease with which they can now create industry-standard print and ebooks without having to take a college level course in book design and construction. But the revolution that we began was based around templates for Microsoft Word.Īnd hey, that’s pretty amazing in itself. It wasn’t until 2013 when I connected with my associate Tracy Atkins that we were able to change the self-publishing world with the launch of our BookDesignTemplates site. It was back in 2010 when I first started thinking about providing do-it-yourself authors with the tools to produce professional quality books on their own, using professional quality tools.īut life never works out the way you think it’s going to, does it? Despite lots of discussion, plans, and a lot of work, nothing happened for years.
