If your book is particularly large (like 500+ pages), you may have to increase that left margin here. Note that Scrivener 3 can do “facing pages” on output and setting the gutters (inside margins) for print. Adjust your Margins too, though the defaults should be good enough. You might need to do some conversion to millimeters, (133×203). When you’re in the template’s settings, go to Page Setup and create the page size. Select “My Formats” to make this template visible to all your projects.ģ) I edited the new preset to create a 5.25″x8″ option for Amazon’s trade paperbacks. At the top is a drop down that lets you select Print as your compile target.Ģ) Clone the Paperback 5.06″x7.81″ setting with the little + button at the bottom of the Formats pane on the left. You will see a bunch of formatting presets In the left hand column.

Tl dr – Scrivener 3’s new Paperback output format is fantastic and I was able to do the entire thing – except for the cover – from inside one program.ġ) Open the Compile sheet (File menu > Compile or Cmd-Opt-E). Now that Scrivener 3 is here, and there was a much-improved Compile option, I figured I’d give it a try to see if I could output a print edition of my books that would survive the trip into Amazon. It took hours to produce the final copy, which ended up looking pretty good, I must admit. Setting up pages in InDesign might be trivial for someone who uses it all the time, but for me, for a once every six months task, it’s like setting foot on the moon. Second, I need to produce an intermediary format (generally, a Word-alike) to import into InDesign and make sure all the formatting gets preserved along the way. First, I’d have to use a separate program outside of the thing I did the work in. Let me tell you, that was not an experience I wanted to revisit. That doesn’t sound particularly onerous, but previously, the one print version I had of Trajectory Book 1 was done in Adobe’s InDesign. I’ve had an item on my todo list for the past six months or so: Produce paperback editions of my books. It is a very solid release, so kudos and thank you to the team. It’s been 2 weeks since the arrival of Scrivener 3, and I am pleased to report that so far, it has been an absolute pleasure to use.
