How to make your book a pleasure to read
The layout and type you use should not even be noticed. The goals of good layout/typesetting is to use signals to let the reader know what language structure they are currently in, such as a heading, paragraph, sentence or quote.
Your readers have been conditioned from a very young age to recognize these signals unconsciously so they can understand what a section of text is for without having to consciously figure it out. For them it is familiar, comforting, and expected. That is the form. What the words say is, for the most part, is completely unrelated. Confuse them with a plot twist, not some odd treatment of the text. Bad layout and type treatments will force them out of the world you have created back to a reader trying to interpret what a screen or paper page is trying to convey.
This presentation will explore the proven standards that have been used for centuries, and how to adapt them to your own books.

Con Nooga
A long time ago in a galaxy not too far away …
The year is 2007 and a few friends teased the idea of building a Convention that was family friendly during the day and more adult oriented at night. A Convention focused on content: including events, contests, workshops, entertainment and most of all fun. Combining all the joys of fandom from Anime, Comics, Fantasy, Gaming, Science Fiction, Horror, Literature, Paranormal, Cosplay, Video Gaming, and so much more - with a huge Kids Track that focused on teaching a new generation all the geek and freak culture of the world! In 2008 this idea became: Con Nooga!
After 14 years of good times, new friends and growing our Con Noogan family - And even a pandemic leap year„, we enter the 15th year and to boldly we go to infinity and beyond!
We are nothing without the fans - and our foundation and future is based upon the wants and needs of the fans. After all It’s Your Con Nooga!
