How the pages are set

The choices that make it read like a book.

A serif body face at a comfortable size and line spacing, justified with hyphenation
Proper margins for a 6×9 trade paperback
Paragraph indents, with none on the first paragraph of a chapter
Chapter openers that start on a right-hand page
Running headers with the author and chapter title
Page numbers, a title page and a contents page
No stranded single lines at the top or bottom of a page
An EPUB that passes epubcheck with zero errors

Before and after

The same text, before and after.

On the left, a plain word-processor export. On the right, the same pages set as a 6×9 book interior.

Before: a letter-size page of single-spaced default text where the title looks like body copy. After: the same story set as a 6×9 chapter opener with a centered title, a small-caps first line, indented justified paragraphs and a page number at the foot. — A chapter opener.

Before: a crowded page with block paragraphs and narrow margins. After: a two-page 6×9 spread with running headers, page numbers on the outer edges, justified hyphenated text and indented paragraphs. — A two-page spread.

Before: the book title and author name as plain lines at the top of the first page. After: a separate title page with the title, a short rule and the author, followed by a contents page listing three stories with page numbers. — The title and contents pages.

The sample uses a public-domain text: three stories by O. Henry from The Four Million (1906), via Project Gutenberg. Your book is set from your own manuscript.
