Affinity Publisher for Fiction Layouts

Book excerpt: Most self-publishers focus their time and attention on publishing ebooks. And when they do publish in print they tend to use either Word or Vellum or the print option provided by D2D. For those who want to move beyond the constraints of these choices, Affinity Publisher is one of the best options available. It's a one-time purchase software that allows for a fully-customized print layout. The only limitation is the skill of the user. This book aims to give beginners to Affinity Publisher the skills to create a basic print layout for a fiction title that includes a title page, also by page, copyright information, about the author, and, of course, the main body of the document. The layout created in this book also includes an image in the front matter, back matter, and chapter starts to add a little something extra. To use this book you should be familiar with the basics of how to work in a Microsoft Office-type program, so know what dropdowns, dialogue boxes, etc. are. Ideally you should also know the basics of formatting for print although that will be mentioned as we go. So if you're ready to take your print fiction formatting to the next level, then click buy and let's get started.
