As a reader, you know that books come in all sizes—from large photo- or illustration-heavy cookbooks and children’s books to small gift books perfect for slipping into a stocking.

Now, as an author, you should know that picking the best trim size for your book isn’t accidental—it’s an important decision that we can help you with. Your book’s size (also known as its “trim size”) determines its page count (which plays a role in its retail price) and often conveys its genre.

For example, the most common trim sizes for fiction and non-fiction books are 5″ x 8″, 5.5″ x 8.5″, and 6″ x 9″.  But what if your book is destined for display on a coffee table or as inspiration on a nightstand? What if your book is intended for younger readers who may need bigger pages to grip, or older readers who may appreciate large-print editions? So what is your book’s optimal size?
