I'd like to use LaTeX to write a novel. Could you recommend me any template?

I'm not sure there is a lot to say here. A novel is not something that will need a lot of specialist structure, but will need some layout adjustments compared to the LaTeX defaults. However, I'd imagine you'd want to have the ability to alter those anyway, template or no template. – Joseph Wright♦ Aug 13 '12 at 7:50
What I mean with a template is some .tex file where I can include my chapterN.tex files (mainly plain text) and get a preatty good desing with zero work :) – Juanjo Conti Aug 14 '12 at 2:16

Try the memoir class. Give the comprehensive manual a close review.

And also take a look at (PDFs) A Few Notes on Book Design and Some Examples of Title Pages, from the same author. I think you'll find memoir a fantastic tool, well worth your investment in learning. – Brent.Longborough Aug 13 '12 at 7:53
