I will format and layout your book manuscript professionally


About this gig
Professional book layout and formatting for your manuscript. I handle typography, page design, image placement, and ensure your book is print-ready.
What I need from you:

What you'll get:
- Professional layout with proper typography
- PDF Press Quality (with crop marks for printing)
- PDF Preview (smaller file size for review)

Important note about page count: When your manuscript is professionally laid out, the final page count usually increases from your Word file. This depends on font size, spacing, images, and chapter breaks. I'll show you a preview after the first 30 pages so you can see the direction. If the final page count differs significantly from your expectation, we'll discuss additional charges.

FAQ
How soon after ordering will you start my layout?
I start within 24 hours of receiving your final manuscript and files. The first preview (30 pages) will be delivered according to your selected timeline.
Can you edit typos or grammar?
No. Your manuscript must be final-ready. I focus on layout, typography, and design. Any typos are your responsibility.
What if my final page count is higher than expected?
I'll send a preview after the first 30 pages. If expansion is significant, we'll discuss. You can either: (A) pay an additional charge, or (B) reduce layout spacing (smaller font, tighter spacing).
What files do I receive?
PDF Press Quality (for printing), PDF Preview (small file for review), and Adobe InDesign package with all images and fonts linked.
Is cover design included?
No. Cover design is a separate add-on. Order my "Book Cover Design" gig or use the extra service option.
Can I request a custom font or design style?
Yes. Discuss your preferences in the brief. I'll recommend typography and layout based on your genre and content.
Is revision unlimited?
It depends on your package: Basic (2 revisions), Standard (3 revisions), Premium (unlimited). You can add more revisions with the extra service option.
How long do I have access to the InDesign file?
Files are yours to keep permanently after delivery. You can edit them yourself or pass to your printer.
