Interior Formatting Questionnaire

Welcome to the second step of designing your book! :)

First of all, I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for entrusting me with your story. It is an absolute honour to work with you.

Secondly, this form might be a bit overwhelming when you scroll through it at first. I recommend for you to take your time, and please email me if you have any questions at all.

The reason why this form is so extensive, is to decrease the amount of errors, and to make sure that I have everything at the start to make a quote and to make an amazing custom design for your book.

If you can’t fill everything in right now, that is okay. You can provide me with the rest later. Just try to fill it in as much as you can.

You got this!
BOOK INFORMATION & INSPIRATION

Let’s delve a bit deeper into your story, so we can make a professionally designed interior for it.
What is the book title?*
What is your author name?*
As you want it to appear in the metadata & inside of the book.
What language is your book written in?*
I am fully fluent in English and Dutch; those are my areas of expertise.
What is the genre of the book?*
Example: Romance, Thriller, YA, NA, etc. (This question is a repeater, for the sake of overview :) )
Yes - It is the first book in the seriesYes - It is a sequelNo - It is a standaloneOther...
If the book is part of a series: what is the name of the series?
I can add this to the interior, so that your readers can immediately get curious about your amazing books and look for the other parts.
Synopsis of the book
I would love to have an in depth, detailed description of your story, so I can create an interior that is a one-of-a-kind-Cinderella-fit. If you cannot provide me with a synopsis, please provide me with your blurb.
Do you have any important themes, symbols, settings objects and/or events in your book?
Little hints, allusions and symbols that connect the interior to the story are always fun for the reader to see. Please tell me yours so I might try to fit them in so we can take this interior to a whole new level. If you have none, you can simply type "no". :)
Is there anything in specific you want to portray to your reader?
This can be anything from vibes to objects to character traits.
Do you have any other ideas on what you want the interior to look like?
I will keep your thoughts in the back of my mind during the whole design process.
Every author has a different budget and different preferences. Whatever yours might be, I will do my best to adjust to your needs and wishes. (Examples can be found here)
Please drop your cover here if you have it ready:

When I have the cover I can keep it in mind, so that I can make the interior match with the outside. (If I'm creating your cover, feel free to ignore this)
