Experienced Book Typesetter Needed for Professional Interior Layout

## Experienced Book Typesetter Needed for Professional Interior Layout I am looking for an experienced book typesetter and interior book designer to professionally format a completed manuscript for publication. The book is a Christian teaching book focused on dreams, spiritual interpretation, and understanding how God communicates. The manuscript is already written and edited. I need someone who can transform it into a polished, visually appealing, and easy-to-read book that feels professionally published. ### Scope of Work The selected freelancer will be responsible for: * Professionally typesetting and formatting the full manuscript. * Creating a clean and consistent interior layout. * Formatting chapter titles, headings, subheadings, body text, quotations, prayers, Scripture references, and special teaching sections. * Establishing appropriate margins, spacing, paragraph styles, page breaks, and typography. * Adding page numbers, running headers, and other standard book elements where appropriate. * Formatting the table of contents. * Eliminating widows, orphans, awkward page breaks, and inconsistent spacing. * Ensuring the final layout meets professional publishing standards. * Preparing the interior for both print and digital publication. ### Required Deliverables Please provide: * A print-ready PDF suitable for Amazon KDP and other publishing platforms. * The editable source file used to create the book. * An EPUB or properly formatted digital edition, if this is included in your services. * Files formatted according to the final selected book size and publishing specifications. * Reasonable revisions to correct formatting issues before final approval. ### Ideal Candidate The ideal candidate should: * Have proven experience typesetting nonfiction books. * Understand professional book typography and interior design. * Have experience preparing books for Amazon KDP. * Be comfortable formatting Scripture references, quotations, prayers, lists, and teaching content. * Have strong attention to detail. * Be able to maintain consistency throughout a longer manuscript. * Communicate clearly and complete the project within the agreed timeline. Experience formatting Christian, inspirational, theological, or personal-development books is preferred but not required. ### Style and Design Direction I want the finished book to feel: * Modern and professional. * Clean and readable. * Substantial and authoritative without feeling overly academic. * Visually engaging while still allowing the teaching to remain the primary focus. * Consistent with high-quality Christian nonfiction and teaching books. The design should not feel like a basic Microsoft Word document. It should look intentional, refined, and ready for commercial publication. ### When Applying Please include: 1. Examples of books you have personally typeset or formatted. 2. Your experience preparing books for Amazon KDP. 3. The software you use for typesetting. 4. Whether your proposal includes both print and EPUB formatting. 5. The number of revisions included. 6. Your estimated turnaround time. 7. Your total project price or pricing structure. Please begin your proposal with the words **“Professional Typesetting”** so I know you have read the complete description. I am looking for someone who can take ownership of the interior design process, pay close attention to the details, and deliver a final book that is polished and ready to publish.
