## Frequently asked questions

### What is the standard layout for a novel interior?

Novels typically use a 5.5×8.5 trim, a classic old-style serif around 11pt, mirrored margins with a binding gutter, indented paragraphs without extra spacing, chapter openers that start on a new page with space above the title, and centered scene-break ornaments between sections.

### How do I format a fiction manuscript into a book?

Start with the right trim and margins, set body text in a readable serif, add front matter (title, copyright, optional epigraph), open each chapter on a new page, and use a drop cap or small-caps opening line plus scene-break marks. This template gives you all of that ready to fill with your story.
