Book layout design is the activity and art of placing and styling text of your manuscript on the pages of your book. Creating a book interior involves many decisions and requires technical knowledge. To achieve a professional result, designers use dedicated software, like InDesign, which is complex to use and has a steep learning curve. On average, it will take a professional designer between six and ten hours to design the interior of a book, depending on its complexity.

Hiring a book layout designer for your book interior may cost you less than you may think, and you will get a result that’s more professional than a self-designed book.
