About this gig

I provide interior and cover design for your publication. I will layout novels, memoirs, textbooks, academic theses, cookbooks, brochures and reports.


I will provide clean, professional, print-ready layouts and flowable epubs. I focus on readable typography, consistent styles, proper hyphenation/orphans & widows control, image placement, and exporting press-quality PDFs or editable source files.


Perfect for self-publishers, businesses, academics and designers who want a polished final product without wrestling with layout software.


What you get with every order:

  • Thoughtful typography (font pairing, sizes, leading, and tracking)
  • Consistent paragraph and character styles
  • Automatic running heads, page numbers, and TOC where needed
  • Image placement, captions and bleed/margin setup for print
  • Export to print-ready PDF and optional source file
  • Basic preflight to catch common print/export issues


Tell me your target (print-on-demand, offset press, or eBook) and I will prepare files to specification.

Delivery style preference

Please inform the freelancer of any preferences or concerns regarding the use of AI tools in the completion and/or delivery of your order.

    Kevin is highly professional. He also has a great eye for aesthetics, and has delivered work that I am very happy with. This means less time wasted explaining things as he makes them look good from the start. I'm very happy with the work, and highly recommend him for your project.
