Guide for Authors: Creating a Title Verso Page for Self-Publishing

​

Crafting your Title Verso Page with care is not just a legal formality; it’s an opportunity to present your book as a professionally packaged product. This attention to detail reflects the quality and seriousness you bring to your work as an author. Best of luck on your self-publishing journey!

 

When embarking on the self-publishing journey, understanding and fulfilling the legal prerequisites is essential for your book’s distribution and sale. One critical element in this process is securing an International Standard Book Number (ISBN) and correctly setting up your Title Verso Page. This page, usually located on the verso (back) of the book's title page, contains important bibliographic details about your publication.

 

Customizable Template for Your Title Verso Page:

 

To aid you in this essential step, we've crafted a user-friendly template. This tool is designed to streamline the creation of your Title Verso Page, ensuring that you include all necessary information accurately. The template features editable fields highlighted in red —placeholders for you to input specific details such as the book's title, author name, and publication date.

 

Formatting Instructions:

 

Font Size and Style: 

We suggest employing a clear, readable font, ideally in a size not exceeding 10 points. This ensures readability while maintaining a professional look.

 

Personalise Your Template: 

Upon selecting the appropriate template variant aligned with your book’s genre (Business or Fiction), direct your attention to the red-highlighted sections. These are the areas where your personalized information will go. Replace the placeholders with the relevant details, including:

 

 - Book title and subtitle (if any)

 - Author name(s)

 - Copyright information and year

 - ISBN

 - Printer and typesetter names and locations

 - Any other applicable publishing details

 

Compliance:

Beyond including these specifics, ensure your template is up to date with any legal publishing standards relevant to your location. This includes copyright laws and international ISBN guidelines.
