Poetry Book Interior Templates

Our templates provide you with control over many aspects of your finished book, including:

• The justification of each line (left or centered)
  
• When a new line begins
  
• The capitalization used within your poems
  
• The font style (standard, bold, italics or underline) used within your poems
  
• The appearance of decorative fleurons or an additional line between stanzas within your poems
  
• Whether a poem begins on a new page or continues on the same book page the previous poem ended

• Your book’s font and font size
  
• The headers that appear on each page (including their font, location, style and size)
  
• The page numbers that appear on each page (including their font, location, style and size)
  
• The appearance of poem titles
  
• The final book’s margins
  
• The maximum line width
  
• The indentation that occurs when a line exceeds the template’s defined line width and therefore must be carried to the next line
  
• The hyphenation of words that must go to the next line due to the previous line exceeding the template’s defined line width
