Book Formatting / interior design
Professional interior formatting to ensure your book looks polished, readable, and platform-ready.
Prior to submitting your book to a printer, you will need to know exactly how you want the finished product to look when your readers actually get to hold it. This means you will need to have your book sized and formatted—meaning you will want to determine a book size, a font, and layout (internal design).
Don’t underestimate this step in the publishing process. Book layout is one of the major factors that can impact the success of your book. And there’s a lot more that goes into designing the interior of a book than you might expect.
The interior design of a book is one of those things you typically don’t even think about if you’re a first-time author. It’s also one of those things that your readers won’t even recognize … unless it’s wrong. So, it’s important to get it right.
There are many other layout decisions in a print book that will influence the way readers experience your content as well.
As your book designer, here are some design decisions that I can assist in making your book interior visually appealing:

Different genres have different rules with which they generally align. We can stick to those rules, or we can discuss them and decide to make your book stand uniquely your own.
Once we’ve teamed up to format your book to your satisfaction, you will receive:
With a focus on consistency and attention to detail, I’m excited and look forward to the challenge of making your book’s interior design stand out along with your book cover design!
