Cara Bruar<p>To self publishers, please consider your readers when formatting. There should be white space on the page, not a wall of densely packed text with nowhere for the eye to start or pause. Also non self publishers of course. <br>I read samples before buying. Yesterday, did not buy an otherwise promising book for this reason. <br><a href="https://sfba.social/tags/formatting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>formatting</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/selfpublishing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>selfpublishing</span></a></p>
