Give your book a professional appearance by formatting it properly, whether for an ebook or print version. If you don’t want to bother doing this, hire someone to do it for you. Proper formatting contributes significantly to your story’s readability.

Improper or sloppy formatting is distracting and pulls the reader out of the story, a big author no-no. Proper formatting should be virtually invisible to the reader, allowing him or her to be entirely immersed in the story.
