    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.

    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!

    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.

    • @BethanyAtazadeh
      @BethanyAtazadeh  Год назад +1

      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.

  • @authorbrandimaccurdy
    @authorbrandimaccurdy 3 года назад

    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!

    • @BethanyAtazadeh
      @BethanyAtazadeh  3 года назад +1

      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!

  • @ShoshanahShear

  • @kurstieg48
    @kurstieg48 3 года назад +1

    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

    • @thelvey1
      @thelvey1 2 года назад

      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!

    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
      @BethanyAtazadeh  Год назад

      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!
