Print & eBook formatting

A finished manuscript deserves finished pages.

I turn an edited manuscript into a clear print interior, a reflowable EPUB, or both. The layout is shaped around your genre, your target platform and the way readers will actually use the book.

Scope and platform confirmed before production

Different formats, different jobs

Print pages and eBooks need their own layouts.

A print book holds its page size and margins. An EPUB adapts to the reader’s screen and font settings. Preparing them separately helps each edition feel intentional.

Print interior

For one agreed paperback or hardcover trim size and publishing platform, I prepare a print-ready interior PDF.

  • Page size, margins, gutter and pagination
  • Chapter openings, headings and body typography
  • Front matter, contents and running elements where needed
  • Print file checks against the agreed platform specifications

Reflowable EPUB

For text-led books, I create an EPUB that adapts to different devices while keeping the structure easy to follow.

  • Consistent headings and reading order
  • Working table of contents and navigation
  • Links and images handled for the agreed manuscript
  • EPUB file checks before handover

Illustrated, fixed-layout and heavily designed books may need a different production approach. I review sample pages before quoting those projects.

Selected interiors

What the work looks like on the page.

Real layouts from different types of books. The sample pages show typography and hierarchy; the full deliverable for your project is defined in its quote.

How the project works

A clear route from manuscript to files.

We settle the format, trim size, platform and revision point before production starts.

01

Review the manuscript

Send the word count, a few sample pages and your target platforms. I flag layout complexity and quote the right scope.

02

Build each edition

I style the book for print and/or EPUB, checking the chapter structure, contents, spacing and file requirements.

03

Review and handover

You review the files at the agreed point. I handle the included revision round and deliver the final formats in the quote.

Starting prices · USD

Know the starting point before asking.

The final price depends on length, manuscript condition, images, tables and platform requirements. Your written quote sets the deliverables and timeline.

Reflowable EPUB formattingFrom $129
Print + eBook packageFrom $299

The combined package covers one agreed print interior PDF and one reflowable EPUB, file checks and one round of layout revisions within scope. Editing, cover design, extra print sizes and publishing uploads are quoted separately.

Typical planning range: 5–8 business days for a print interior or 3–6 for an EPUB. Your project schedule is confirmed after review; combined or complex work may take longer.

Common questions

Before you send the file.

Is formatting the same as editing?

No. Formatting sets up the pages and EPUB structure. Proofreading and copyediting address the words themselves and can be quoted separately if the manuscript needs them.

Can you prepare files for Amazon KDP, IngramSpark or Lulu?

Yes. Tell me the platform and edition you plan to use. The quote will state the trim size, format and platform requirements the files are prepared for.

Can I send a manuscript with tables or illustrations?

Yes. Send a few representative pages first. Complex tables, illustrations and fixed layouts may need additional work or a different file format, so I will assess them before quoting.

What if I change the manuscript after layout approval?

Small corrections can be considered during the agreed revision point. Substantial text changes or a new trim size may require an updated quote because they affect the layout and checks.

What should I include with my enquiry?

Your word count, book type, a few sample pages, target print size if known, preferred platforms and deadline. If you are unsure of a setting, say so and I will help narrow it down.

Ready to make the files work for your book?

Share the manuscript details and the formats you need. I will tell you what belongs in scope and what it would cost.
