Frequently Asked Questions
Anyone who wants to learn how to format a book! Perfect for self-published authors, aspiring graphic designers, or anyone interested in learning the art of book design.
Absolutely! Format Fasttrack is specifically designed for beginners and breaks down the whole process start-to-finish.
Children's picture books, illustrated chapter books, non-fiction books, and full-length novels. If you can dream it, this course will show you how to design it.
You'll need tools from the Adobe suite. Inside the course, we'll go over all your access options, including a free trial of the software so you can test it out before you purchase.
A professional book designer is a freelancer so their rates will depend on their availability, experience, and the project itself. A children's book picture book may cost anywhere from $300-400+ to be formatted for print, for example. By learning to do it yourself, you'll save thousands of dollars in the long run! (Or earn it, if you're taking this to become a freelance book formatter!)
