If your printer is able to handle A5 paper, then getting an A6 brochure works
the same as for an A5 brochure: Write your document in A6, print as brochure;
paper size is A5 landscape. Depending on the printer you might need to go to
"Properties" in the Printer section of the print dialog and make the needed
settings directly at your printer, especially switching on duplex printing. The
preview in the printer dialog considers those settings and shows you whether
all is correct. Look at the dimension lines in the preview in the print dialog.
Some printers are not able to do duplex printing with A5 paper. In that case
the printer user guide should tell you what to do.

If you want something else, please try to describe the desired workflow in
step-by-step way.
