Thriller & Crime

a novel design by Bindery’s designers

The page-turner: Charter set tight on a full measure, chapters that open with a big bold numeral over a heavy rule, a slug line for time and place, running heads in spaced capitals — nothing slows the eye.

What happens next: The editor asks what is at stake, who is chasing it, where it opens to the hour and how it ends, then writes a Chapter One that opens in motion and ends on a hook.

The design travels; the words are yours. Bindery's editor interviews you and writes your book with you, in this design — the typography, margins and chapter openers are set before your first word. Free to start, no account needed.
