Historical Fiction Book Typesetter & Interior Book Designer Needed (Literary Quality)
Worldwide
I am looking for an experienced book typesetter and interior book designer to create a beautiful, professional interior layout for a historical fiction novel. This is not simply a formatting job. I'm looking for someone who understands how typography, spacing, chapter openings, ornaments, margins, and page composition all contribute to the reader's experience. The interior should subtly capture the atmosphere of the early eighteenth century while remaining elegant, highly readable, and suitable for modern print. The novel is literary historical fiction set in Germany (1707). The story explores themes of religious persecution, philosophy, feminine autonomy and spirituality. The interior should reflect the tone of the novel without becoming gimmicky or difficult to read. I'm looking for someone who has experience designing interiors for: Historical fiction Literary fiction Premium trade paperbacks Traditional publishing quality books Ideally, you will have a portfolio demonstrating thoughtful chapter design, typography and page composition rather than simple KDP formatting. The finished interior should feel timeless and comparable to books produced by high-quality traditional publishers. The manuscript is approximately 117,000 words. Ready to hire immediately for the right person and at the right price.
