The Title Page

The book’s title and your details, in one place, with a preview of the front page an agent or editor will see.

The Title Page form, with the book’s title, genre and the author’s legal name, pen name and contact details, and a preview of the manuscript’s first page beside it.
The Title Page, with its preview.

The Title Page is the first row in the Manuscript sidebar. It holds the book’s details (its title, a short title for running heads, and its genre) and yours (your legal name, pen name, surname, address, email and phone). The preview beside the form shows the manuscript’s front page as a build lays it out, with your contact details in the corner and the word count rounded as agents expect.

Empty fields show the default they’ll use: the short title is the title in capitals, and the pen name is your legal name. Only the title and your legal name are required.

For ebooks and printed books, the same page also holds the language, ISBN, publisher, description and cover.
