Think of D Publishing as your own personal book designer. We asked an actual human book designer (she's called Linda) to create a beautiful, classic book design for us that suits a whole range of book subjects.

Our design will give a professional, well-finished look to anything from a novel, a textbook, a book of poetry, or your long-awaited guidebook to Timbuktu. A good book design is not just about giving the text a pleasing appearance, but is a crucial part of the book's structure, usability and content.

How does it work?

We take your book as a Word document, complete with headings, pictures, diagrams, pull-out quotes, 'about the author' or whatever else you've written, and ingest it into our MyBook web application. You'll also be able to choose the size of the book you'd like to publish and, for printed books, the type of paper it's printed on.

We'll then show you the manuscript as a blueprint, broken up into a series of sections based on your Word document. This is where you review the book, move parts around or add more in if you want to. You can move or re-style existing text or pictures, or generate more text by typing directly into the tool. Forgot to add a Prologue? You can do it here. Decided that the last paragraph of Chapter One should actually be a callout box? No problem.

Once you're done, we'll adjust the book design to keep it looking beautiful, logical and satisfying for your readers. Each different element of your book, from the dedication to the front to the afterward at the back, will be styled to fit.

Once you're happy with your layout you can purchase the option for us to convert it using our own software into a finished, professionally designed book that would not be embarrassed to take its place on the shelf of any serious bookshop. You can upload your own cover design, or create one with our help using the design templates in our MyCover web app.
