What you get with this Offer
Custom Interior Layout
I’ll design a layout that suits your book’s theme and genre, whether it’s a novel, non-fiction, academic work, or illustrated guide. This includes tailored chapter starts, headings, subheadings, and consistent font choices for a visually engaging and readable experience.
Page Structure and Elements
The layout will feature structured pages with aligned margins, headers, footers, and page numbers. Consistent spacing throughout ensures a smooth flow, with any additional elements like quotes or images styled to fit naturally within the text.
Typography Selection
I’ll select typefaces that combine readability with aesthetics, choosing font sizes, weights, and spacing that align with your book’s style and enhance readability. From body text to chapter titles, each element will support a seamless reading experience.
Front and Back Matter Formatting
I’ll design your front matter (title page, acknowledgments, table of contents) and back matter (appendices, references, author bio) to match the book’s style, giving a professional finish throughout.
Consistent Style Guide
Using Adobe InDesign, I’ll implement a consistent style guide for your book file. All paragraphs, headings, and list elements will follow a unified design, ensuring a cohesive look from start to finish.
Digital and Print-Ready Files
Although I deliver only digital files, you’ll receive both digital (eBook) and print-ready (PDF) formats. Each format is optimized for its platform, with eBooks tailored for devices like Kindle and print files prepared for platforms like Amazon KDP or IngramSpark.
Professional Typesetting
I’ll enhance the typesetting by adjusting kerning, leading, and tracking to create a polished, professional text flow without awkward gaps or inconsistencies, improving readability and overall presentation.
Revisions and Final Proofing
I’ll conduct rounds of proofing to check for alignment issues and formatting consistency. You’ll have the chance to review and request adjustments to ensure the final file meets your standards.
This service transforms your manuscript into a professionally formatted, polished book, ready for digital distribution !
