Your manuscript is the foundation of your children’s book, but you don’t want to get distracted with too many features. Let your title stand out with title case. Let your creativity flow and add emphasis to your text. Bold, italics, and underline give your words weight and personality.
Remember: Design Happens in Design
While formatting adds a touch of elegance to your manuscript, remember that larger design changes – like font size, style, and color – take place in the design stage, not within the manuscript. The manuscript is where your story unfolds; the design stage is where it flourishes into a captivating visual experience.
