line spacing and fount size for novels

[R.F.G.]

Line spacing and font for e-books will be different from what you use for print.

The font you use for print will differ depending on the size format of the book, whether Trade, Digest, or Pocket Book.

I use the Georgia font, size 11 for both. Single spacing for print (though 1 1/2 is okay too), double spacing for ebook. The larger the font size and spacing in your print books, the more it will cost; and e-readers allow the user to chose from several fonts so you should pick a common choice to make it hassle-free when you format it.

Odds are the OP will hear a number of different answers. Best answer would be what makes the book look its best, and that is a bit subjective.

The recommended font is a 12 point serif font such as Times Roman. Spacing should be single with indented paragraphs for fiction. Non-fiction usually uses no indent with spacing between paragraphs. For readability, I usually use a 3 point spacing between paragraphs for fiction, but that is a personal preference.
