The star wars font 😆 thank you these videos were invaluable

That font you were loving, Trajan Pro 3, that's my title font for the cover of my books. I love it too. It really stands out.

Thank you so much, Bethany! I just started watching your videos about formatting! I'm currently working on a series of mystery novels. Your videos are super informative and helpful!

Thank you so much for another very informative and helpful video.

You are definitely my favorite teacher I have learned so much from you Thank you again 💐

Thank you so much! ☺️

Ah I just recently got into word headers so now it's nice to actually be able to customize them!

You're amazing! Thanks for all you do.

Thanks for this Bethany, I have seen people advicing against using Times new roman but I have been using it and never had a problem with it and I have had friends who use it and I have been able to read it no problem.

Another very helpful video. Thank you so much!

This is a very helpful video. Thank you. Can I use Times New Roman font free, without paying?

The Wizard Magic font you looked at remines me of 'I dream of Jennie@ (shows my age)

Haha that's awesome!

How did you get it to change the font for Chapter heading throughout? I can only get it to do so for the first chapter.

I am currently using the templates you mentioned in this video to write my novel. Are the fonts used in the template free of copyright? Or will i have to purchase them somehow? Many thanks :) Love your videos btw!

I'm not sure if this has been covered, but what's your advice on when to implement these formatting rules? After a draft is complete or at the start of a new WIP? Thank you!

I think it's personal preference. Some authors wait to format until the book is done, but I personally enjoy writing in a pre-formatted template because it feels more like an official book already, so it's up to you!

Can you also upload a video for the format like prologue then the table of contents and all the others in order. It could really help😊. I wanna publish my book and I’m only 12 so I need help plz!

1:18 probably I thought of it.. 😂

What font do you use in the videos?

Thank you. I am still concerned about bleeding. Does the picture get cut a little in production? I'm making a picture book and it really matters to me.

What about if you have quotes and commenteries. Should everything be the same font even to make points in non fiction?

How do you add the chapter numbers on the left side??

I had modified my header to my style for chapters. I had it set up to leave a space before (so the Chapter started almost half down the page) but when I click "page break" and the the header style again, it doesn't jump down to about half way like I set up. Do you know what I did wrong by chance? I hope that make sense. Lol

Try it with a section break instead? Or create a frame around the chapter heading to create that space? This is something I'm trying to figure out right now, too. Let me know if you've found what works!

Hi Bethany. I really like these videos but I use Atticus and get the same results. It does look like your software is very good. It is a very important subject though there are slightly different rules when you are writing for kids.,such as the font size which can be bigger and the spacing can be different. By kids, I am referring to the under-13's. But I am following your series.

Glad to hear Atticus is working well, I've heard good things! And I'm actually currently updating my books to have a bigger font size, funny you mention it, but I came to that same conclusion haha - I don't remember what I was thinking back then, maybe just wanted the books to be cheaper for readers aka smaller/less pages to print.

Bethany, what website can help me with a fancy font for my cover?

I don't make book covers, sorry!

How about Caslon or Bodoni?

I'm a person who is super paranoid of using something I can't, so how can you be sure the fonts you have loaded into your word processor are allowed for commercial use?

@BethanyAtazadeh

Hey, is there another way of getting the template... I tried a few different emails, and there is no way to contact the person who made it? Any help would be appreciated.

Sorry I have no idea, I don't know the guy personally, so you'll have to do some digging to figure out how to contact him about that!

I write in Google Docs on my android cuz i dont have a laptop but this is very intriguing, much less work.

Thanks, but why are styling a novel in word? 😋
