Author Starter Kits
Our flagship and most compact publishing system, the Mythic Author Starter Kit was carefully assembled as a simple but complete interior system, without the complicated bells and whistles. This kit is ideal for first time self-publishers or authors who want just enough structure to begin immediately, while retaining enough flexibility to adapt to their manuscript’s needs.
What is Included?
Mythic Author Starter Kits cover the essential structural moments of a book:
- How it opens.
- How it closes
- How chapters flow
Each kit contains the four essential structural components:
Genre Title Pages Template
Each Mythic Starter Kit begins with our genre aligned title page template which includes one classic title page in the chosen genre (from gothic to high fantasy), and one ornamental variant page.
Universal Front Matter Template
A clean, adaptable front matter system suitable for fiction and narrative nonfiction, including:
- Copyright page
- Dedication / epigraph layout
- Table of contents variants
Designed for print clarity, typographic balance, and long-term reuse..
Genre-Specific Chapter Template
Also referred to as our grab and go templates, these pages are ready-to-use chapter layouts tailored to the kit’s genre identity.
These chapter templates are:
- Fully structured and print-safe
- Designed for immediate use without setup
- Built to establish rhythm, pacing, and tone from the first chapter
Each Starter Kit includes one chapter system, aligned to its genre aesthetic.
Back Matter Template
A restrained, cohesive closing system designed to carry the visual language of your book through its final pages.
Includes layouts suitable for:
- Author notes
- Acknowledgements
- Series listings
- Calls to action or companion content
Each Starter Kit includes one chapter system, aligned to its genre aesthetic.
Designed for Balance
Every element in the Mythic Author Starter Kits is created as a balance between publishing constraints and genre aesthetic.
That means, even with beautiful layouts, we prioritize:
- Print-safe margins
- Readability-first typography
- Minimal visual fatigue across long texts
- Compatibility with common POD workflows
These are systems meant to be used, not admired and abandoned.

The Mythic Author Starter Kits are ideal if you:
- Want a professional interior without hiring a formatter
- Prefer cohesive systems over piecemeal assets
- Are starting a book or series and want a strong foundation
- Value atmosphere, restraint, and longevity over trend-driven design
