Format Your Romance Novel
The Colette theme: elegant chapter numerals between hairlines, a warm readable serif, and ornamented scene breaks — made for romance.
Romance readers buy in volume and notice design — the genre's paperbacks have a recognizable elegance: a large graceful chapter numeral, soft serif text, decorative scene breaks, italic running heads. Ceeryo's Colette theme was designed for exactly this shelf: a high-contrast Didone numeral between hairline rules opens each chapter, body text is set in a warm old-style serif, and scene breaks get a delicate dotted ornament. Upload your manuscript, and your book comes back dressed for its genre — as a print interior and an EPUB.

In short
Romance interiors have genre conventions — elegant chapter numerals, soft serif body text, ornamented scene breaks. Ceeryo's Colette theme applies them automatically to your manuscript, producing a print-ready PDF and EPUB that look at home next to traditionally published romance.
What makes a romance novel interior look 'right'?
Convention: a large elegant chapter numeral (often a Didone face) with light rules or flourishes, a warm serif for body text, italic or letterspaced running heads, and decorative scene-break ornaments. It signals the genre before a word is read. Colette encodes these conventions; you just pick it in the theme selector.
Designed for the shelf
Genre design is a promise to the reader
Covers make the sale; interiors keep the trust. A romance that opens like a corporate report breaks the spell. Colette's numerals, ornaments, and folios — '— 132 —' — keep the promise the cover made.

Frequently asked questions
Can I use Colette for other genres?+
Of course — it suits women's fiction, sagas, and literary fiction with a soft aesthetic. Themes are suggestions, not locks.
What trim do romance paperbacks use?+
Mass-appeal romance is usually 5×8 or 5.25×8; longer contemporary romance often goes 5.5×8.5. All are in the trim picker — compare page counts across them.
Do dual-POV chapter labels work?+
Yes — chapters titled with character names ('Chapter Three: Elena') keep the name as the chapter title under the numeral.
