Text Formatting ⇒ Good Template for a Book

[frodojedi]

Dear all,

I am writing my book (a romance) in LaTeX, and I am searching for a good template. Do you have one to suggest me please?

Thanks in advance

Cheers

I would strongly suggest that you take a look at a few books to get inspired and come up with a design of your own, most of them are not hard to mimic, you can use the titlesec package for changing chapter and part formatting, and making a cover page is pretty easy check wikibooks for an example.

Also I'd suggest you use a KOMA Script document class since it looks pretty neat and particularly the scrbook class provides with a good and simple design.

I would also prefer scrbook, customize it and add some useful packages such as microtype, for encoding etc.

The memoir class is also a very good choice for typesetting books.
