Most indie authors don't need five different freelancers to publish one book. I handle the manuscript edit, the interior layout, and the KDP-ready file myself. one person, one workflow, so nothing gets lost in handoffs between an editor, a formatter, and a cover designer who've never spoken to each other. WHAT I DO 📝 Editing & Proofreading ✔ Copyediting & proofreading for grammar, consistency, and readability ✔ Developmental editing support, structure, flow, and pacing feedback ✔ Manuscript cleanup before formatting begins 📐 Book Layout & Interior Formatting ✔ Book layout design for print and digital editions ✔ Ebook formatting & design (EPUB, reflowable & fixed-layout) ✔ Manuscript formatting in Word and Adobe InDesign ✔ Front matter, back matter, and table of contents design ✔ Typesetting: chapter design, running headers, drop caps, widow/orphan control ✔ Print-ready PDF with correct trim size, bleed, and margins 🎨 Book Cover Design ✔ Front, back & spine cover design for paperback and hardcover ✔ Ebook cover design ✔ Cover resizing and dimension fixes for KDP compliance TOOLS I USE Adobe InDesign · Adobe Photoshop · Microsoft Word · Kindle Create · Kindle Previewer · Reedsy · Affinity Publisher · Atticus · Vellum. PLATFORMS I FORMAT FOR Amazon KDP · Kindle Direct Publishing · IngramSpark · Lulu · Barnes & Noble Press · Draft2Digital · · Kobo Writing Life · Apple Books · Google Play Books · Smashwords. GENRES I WORK WITH Self-help & personal development, memoir & biography, romance & fiction, business & nonfiction, workbooks & journals. If your book falls outside these, message me I'll tell you honestly if it's a fit. WHAT I DON'T DO So the work I do take on stays high-quality, I don't offer: full ghostwriting , children's book illustration, academic LaTeX typesetting, or non-book design work like websites or e-commerce. If you need one of those, I'm glad to point you toward the right kind of freelancer, but my full attention stays on books. QUESTIONS CLIENTS OFTEN ASK ME "Do you edit AND format, or should I hire someone for each?" Both, as one workflow. Most clients save time and avoid handoff errors by having one person do the edit and the layout. "What file do I need to send you?" A Word (.docx) manuscript is ideal. I can also work from Google Docs or a clean PDF. "Will my book actually pass Amazon KDP's requirements?" That's the goal of every file I deliver. I check trim size, bleed, margins, and EPUB validation before you ever upload. "Do you design the cover too, or just the interior?" Both, if you want it. Many clients prefer one person handling interior and cover so they match. "How long does a typical project take?" Formatting-only: 3–5 days. Editing + formatting combined: 7–14 days, depending on manuscript length. "What if KDP rejects my file after I upload it?" I fix it. Upload-error troubleshooting is part of the service, not a separate charge. "Do you work with fiction, nonfiction, or both?" Both, see the genre list above. HOW I WORK 1. Firstly, Send your manuscript, trim size, and target platform. 2. secondly I edit/proofread if needed, then move into layout and typesetting. 3. Cover design is built to match platform bleed and spine specs. 4. You review a preview before final files are exported. 5. Delivered: print-ready PDF, EPUB, and an editable source file. WHY WORK WITH ME Most formatting problems aren't creative problems, they're technical ones: wrong margins, inconsistent typography, a cover that doesn't account for spine width, an EPUB that fails validation. I catch those before you upload, not after a rejection. Send your manuscript and I'll tell you exactly what it needs.
