 Ever since formatting the HW Poetry Book, I've been considering delving more into interior formatting. At one point in time I'd discussed with Aubrey about formatting one of her books and she (doesn't realize this I think) sprouted the idea of making interior templates. I'd make a few book layouts and authors could pick from them instead of having me make one from scratch.

 I'm pretty decided on doing this and will probably have them ready by the time I finish my site design. Yet, I'm curious if the people of Holy Worlds would be interested in this kind of thing... (those of you who plan on Self-publishing) A good looking interior can really spiff up your book ;) ;) (honest, though).

Yes. Yes, yes, yes. I think that would be incredible. Templates make life so much simpler. :D

Yes! Yes! :)

I'm tentatively in the early stages of putting together a collection of my poetry for eventual self-publication, so this would be most welcome.

I don't know yet if I'll try traditional or self-publishing, but if I try the latter, this would be useful.
