Description
Experience Level: Entry
I'm looking for an experienced book interior designer/typesetter with proven experience preparing books for Amazon KDP paperback publication.
This is NOT a simple Word formatting project.
The manuscript has already been edited and formatted. What I need is for it to be professionally typeset so it looks exactly like a commercially published paperback (similar to books from HarperCollins, Penguin Random House, etc.).
The manuscript
Approximately 480 pages
Novel
Microsoft Word document
6" × 9" trim size
Already edited
Amazon KDP Paperback
Required work
The freelancer must:
Transform the Word manuscript into a professionally typeset book.
Create a true print-ready interior.
Apply professional publishing standards throughout.
Prepare a final PDF ready for Amazon KDP upload.
Specific requirements
Proper front matter layout
Blank pages inserted where required
Correct recto/verso (left/right) page sequencing
Chapter openings professionally designed
Mirror margins
Running headers
Page numbering
Proper section breaks
Widows and orphans corrected
Consistent spacing throughout
Proper paragraph styles
Professional typography
Clean page breaks
No formatting inconsistencies
Print-ready PDF
KDP compliant interior
Headers
Headers should begin only with the main body of the book.
No headers or page numbers should appear on:
Title page
Copyright page
Dedication
Quote pages
Author Note
Running headers should appear as follows:
Left-hand pages:
Rene Reid — Page Number
Right-hand pages:
Peace Amidst Conflict — Page Number
Deliverables
Final print-ready PDF
Updated editable Word or InDesign file (whichever is used)
Amazon KDP-ready interior
All fonts embedded
No formatting errors
Important
The goal is for the interior to look exactly like a professionally published bookstore-quality novel not like a Microsoft Word document.
Please include samples of book interiors you have professionally typeset for print.
