FAQ
What software do we use to format book interiors?
I format book interiors in Adobe Indesign, which is software specially designed for book layout. This gives a more professional and stable layout. I can provide the Indesign file to you for an extra $5 if you select that option when ordering, but I won't be able to provide a Word doc.
What is delivered? PDF, EPUB, MOBI
If we format for a print book, delivery will be a PDF file ready for upload. Colors will be in CMYK colorspace. If you choose B&W printing for KDP or Ingram Spark, color images will automatically be converted to B&W. If we format for ebook, delivery will be an epub file and usually a mobi file.
How many revisions are there? All jobs have unlimited formatting revisions. But...
Formatting revisions is changing the layout (or look) of the book. Fonts, chapter headings, etc. I'll revise until you're happy with the look. But I can't offer unlimited typo fixes or rewrites or else I would never get done with a job and prices would be much higher. Make sure your doc is ready!
What about the source file? No problem!
If you want the Indesign source file, there is an option to select it when ordering!
Is a Table of Contents Included? What about headers and page numbers? Yes!
We always include a TOC in a print book unless the author doesn't want it. All ebooks will have both an HTML TOC and an NCX TOC. Page numbers and headers are included in all print books. (ebooks don't have them, or are added by the reading device). If you prefer running heads, let us know.
Can we format covers? Sort of.
While we don't design covers from scratch, we can turn almost any Kindle cover into a print book cover with a spine and back. In fact, we have a separate gig for this. But there is an option on the order page to select it when you order. Note that you will need to supply a kindle cover (front cover)
What type of images should be used in a print book? 300dpi!
Ideally, images should be at 300 dpi at the printed size for print books. If images are less than 300 dpi, they may still look okay in the printed book. Images in ebooks should be at least 96 dpi at the displayed size.
Do we format children's books? Yes! And also coloring books!
We do a children's book all the time for both print and ebook. For print, decide on a trim size before you have your artwork done, so you can match the aspect ratio of the art to the page size. Decide whether you want the images to bleed to the edge of the page.
Do you need an Index at the end of the book?
I can provide a professional index at the end of the book. The buyer must supply a list of topic words in a separate Word doc, one word per line.

Ongoing collaborationGlenn formatted the interior of my nonfiction paperback for IngramSpark and KDP and nailed it on the first pass. The file came back clean, the trim size was right, and the layout looked exactly as it should. Professional, responsive, and detail-oriented. If you're a self-publishing author looking for someone who actually understands print specs, hire him.

The final delivery was good overall, and I appreciate the effort put into completing the project. However, I felt that the communication throughout the process was not fully up to my expectations, and at times it seemed like we were not completely on the same page regarding the details and progress.
