Book interior formatting
Every manuscript deserves a page it can trust.
I set type, build the grid, and prepare print- and ebook-ready files for independent authors, publishers, and small presses, from first draft to final upload.
What I do
From manuscript to press-ready file.
Five disciplines, one continuous workflow, so the design decisions in chapter one still hold up on page three hundred.
01
Interior formatting
Typography, grids, chapter openers, drop caps, and consistent front and back matter.
02
Print preparation
Trim size, bleed, margins, spine width, and export settings built for the press.
03
Ebook conversion
Reflowable EPUB and KPF files that read cleanly across devices and stores.
04
Platform files
Amazon KDP, IngramSpark, Lulu, and Draft2Digital, each prepared to spec.
05
Style sheets
A documented style sheet so revisions and future volumes stay consistent.
Selected work
Recently formatted interiors.
A cross-section of manuscripts prepared for print and digital publication, fiction, poetry, memoir, and illustrated work.
Why work with me
A good layout still has to work in production.
the standard for every file I send
Professional, InDesign-based workflow
Every interior is built in Adobe InDesign with proper master pages, paragraph and character styles, and controlled pagination, not an improvised Word layout. That makes corrections, reprints, and future editions far easier to manage.
Print-ready, not just print-styled
Trim size, bleed, margins, spine width, image resolution, and colour settings are checked before export, so files pass platform review without back-and-forth.
Platform-specific delivery
Amazon KDP, IngramSpark, Lulu, and Draft2Digital each have their own quirks. Files are prepared and tested against the platform you're publishing on.
Clear guidance along the way
Most authors arrive with a finished manuscript and an unclear next step. I lay out exactly what's needed, what decisions affect production, and what to confirm before final upload.
