Who This Service Is For

Formatting is for authors with an edited manuscript who are ready to publish in print, ebook or both. It is also useful for authors whose earlier editions look dated, or whose files were rejected by a retailer for formatting problems.

Interior Production for Print and Ebook

Interior Production for Print and Ebook

Print and ebook need different treatments. A print interior is a fixed layout: trim size, margins, gutter, fonts, headers, page numbers, chapter openings and how text breaks across pages all have to be set deliberately, and the final PDF has to meet the printer's specifications. An ebook is reflowable: readers change font size and devices, so the file must be built with clean structure, a working table of contents and styling that holds up everywhere.

We set both from the same final text, so your print and digital editions match. Images, tables, footnotes, poetry and other special elements are handled individually rather than forced into a generic template.

Interior layout for print and ebook, typography, headers and page numbering, front and back matter, and a proof for your review before final files are delivered.

Yes. Print is a fixed layout built to the printer's specifications; ebooks are reflowable and must work across devices and font sizes.

Yes. Formatting should happen on the final text, because edits made after layout can shift pages and introduce errors.
