Choosing a Book Size

Selecting the size of your book is one of the first steps in the publishing process. Each genre of book tends to have its common page sizes associated with it. For example, a common page size for a children’s book is the 11” x 8.5” landscape format, while a poetry book will often be printed in the 5.5” x 8.5” page size. All book sizes shown are available in either the portrait or landscape orientations. While we list several of the most common book sizes below, custom sizes are also available.
