Typeset like a real book
Whole paragraphs are balanced at once, with even word spacing and careful hyphenation, the way classic typesetting does it.
Book formatting for authors

How it works
From manuscript to finished book, in three steps.
-
1
Bring your manuscript
Drag in your Word file. Chapters, headings, italics and pictures come with it. Writing from scratch works too.
-
2
Pick a style
Choose a design for the whole book, then fine-tune drop caps, ornaments and chapter openings. Every change shows on the page as you work.
-
3
Publish everywhere
Check the book for your printer, then export the print PDF and the ebooks for every store.
Preview
See it on every device.
Flip through the print book page by page, or read the ebook on a Kindle, iPad, iPhone, Kobo, Nook or Android tablet, in day, sepia or night mode, before your readers do.
Check before sending
Ready for Amazon, before you upload.
Tellurin checks the print file the way your printer will: trim size, margins, bleed, fonts, colors and picture sharpness. If something needs a look, it says so in plain words and takes you to the page.
Print cover
The full cover, with the spine worked out.
Design the wraparound print cover in the same place as the book. The spine width follows your page count and paper, and the barcode area is already where the printer wants it.
Features
Everything a finished book needs.
Styles and ornaments
A library of book designs, with drop caps, small caps, ornaments, title images and page backgrounds.
Print PDF for any printer
PDF/X-4 and PDF/X-1a, with bleed and print colors, for Amazon KDP, IngramSpark or your local printer.
Ebooks for every store
EPUB files for Kindle, Apple Books, Kobo, Nook and Google Play, plus a Word copy for your editor.
Eight book languages
English, Romanian, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Dutch and Portuguese, each with its own hyphenation and quotation marks.
Comments and history
Leave notes, suggest changes and go back to any earlier version of the book.
Tables and index
Tables, an index at the back and links between chapters, in print and in the ebook.

Combine several books into a box set, and reuse the same front and back matter across a series.

Questions
Good to know.
Which computers does Tellurin run on?
Windows and Linux. A macOS version is on the way.
Can I try it before I buy?
Yes. You can design your whole book and preview it before you buy. The license unlocks the final export.
Do I need to be online?
Only once, to activate your license. A computer without internet can be activated from another device.
Will Amazon and IngramSpark accept my files?
Tellurin checks the print file against what Amazon KDP and IngramSpark ask for before you send it, and the ebooks follow the EPUB 3 standard the stores require.
Is my book uploaded anywhere?
No. Your books are saved on your own computer, as ordinary files you can copy and back up.
Can I bring a book I wrote in Word?
Yes. Drag the Word file into Tellurin and it becomes a book. If you change the Word file later, you can bring the changes in again.
