About this gig

A book is judged from the inside too. Widows, bad margins and unreadable type are what separate a self-published book from a bookstore one.


I'm an Italian editorial designer who typesets books for a publishing house (Industria & Letteratura): 50+ volumes taken to print. I work in InDesign with a real typographic grid, paragraph styles and line-by-line control. No Word disguised as PDF.


What you get:

Grid and typography designed for your book: trim size, margins, leading and typeface chosen for your genre.

Professional control: widows and orphans, correct hyphenation (Italian or English), indents, spacing.

Title page, copyright page, TOC and back matter properly composed.

Press-ready PDF for KDP, IngramSpark or your print house. EPUB from the Standard package.


On Standard and Premium I first deliver a sample chapter with 2 grid options, so you choose the direction.


Need a cover too? Check my book cover gig: cover + interior as one coordinated design.


Sono italiano: puoi scrivermi in italiano.


Not included: editing or proofreading of your text, translations, special font licenses.

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.
