What is the standard formatting for a published book? Is the standard for poetry different? What makes a book cover great? What needs to be on the spine? How will the target demographic affect a book’s design? How should a title page look? and why is it necessary to ask these questions?

Festival director, writer and book designer, Graham Davidson and indie publisher and book designer Michelle Hessing of Accentia Design will explain the basics of assembling text for publication, working with a book designer and creating aesthetic cover designs.
