Hi, I’m Miracle, a KDP Book Editor & Layout Designer, Book Layout Designer, Copyeditor, and Developmental Editor with experience handling both the creative and technical sides of book publishing.
Whether you need help improving your manuscript, formatting the interior, creating a professional layout, or preparing final files for Amazon KDP, I can support you from the manuscript stage through publication.

Book Layout & KDP Formatting
A professionally designed book should feel easy to read, visually balanced, and consistent from the first page to the last.
I create clean, custom book interiors with careful attention to:
• Typography and font hierarchy
• Chapter opener design
• Margins, spacing, and alignment
• Headers and footers
• Page numbering
• Table of contents
• Paragraph and character styling
• Images, captions, tables, and callout boxes
• Print specifications and bleed requirements
• Amazon KDP and IngramSpark guidelines
I work on both simple text-based books and more complex layouts such as workbooks, cookbooks, educational books, journals, children’s books, and image-heavy publications.
Copyediting & Developmental Editing
If your manuscript still needs work before formatting, I can also help strengthen the writing.
My copyediting work focuses on grammar, punctuation, sentence clarity, consistency, readability, word choice, and overall flow.
For developmental editing, I look at the bigger picture — structure, organization, pacing, clarity, repetition, chapter flow, character development, and how effectively the book communicates its message to the reader.
I always try to preserve the author’s natural voice rather than rewriting the manuscript into something that no longer sounds like them.
Book Cover Design
I also design professional covers for:
• Amazon KDP paperback
• Hardcover
• Kindle eBooks
• IngramSpark
• Full wrap covers with spine and back cover
My goal is to create a cover that fits the genre, looks professional at thumbnail size, and feels consistent with the interior design of the book.
Genres I regularly work with
Fiction • Non-Fiction • Memoirs • Self-Help • Business • Romance • Mystery • Thriller • Fantasy • Sci-Fi • Horror • Poetry • Cookbooks • Children’s Books • Journals • Workbooks • Educational Books
Tools I use
Adobe InDesign • Adobe Photoshop • Adobe Illustrator • Kindle Create • Canva • Procreate • Krita
Why clients hire me
• One person for editing, design, formatting, and publishing support
• Strong understanding of Amazon KDP requirements
• Clean and professional book layouts
• Careful attention to details
• Clear communication throughout the project
• Reliable turnaround times
• Custom design instead of generic templates
• Print-ready and publishing-ready final files
I also provide sample work when it makes sense for the project, so you can review the design direction before committing to the full book.
If you need a KDP Designer, Book Layout Designer, Copyeditor, Developmental Editor, or Book Formatting Specialist, feel free to send me your manuscript and project details.
I’d be happy to take a look and recommend the best way to prepare your book for publication.

I’m all about words. Choosing the right one for the right moment can be magical. Punctuating all of them correctly is essential—I'm a huge fan of the Oxford comma. As a professional copy editor, my job is to help you put the right pieces in the right places.
I love to read and consume large amounts of media from a variety of sources and genres; some great, some poor, all educational.
Struggling to fine-tune your non-fiction manuscript? Not sure if your fictional plot is interesting? Let me help. I have a high volume of clients and am up-to-date on reader preferences and good branding strategies.
I admit to having a soft spot for YA fantasy/sci-fi writers, so contact me about your passion project!
If you are contacting me for work:
• I choose my clients carefully through a simple interview process: you send me a sample of your writing, I send you a critique, and we decide if we can stand each other.
• If we move forward with the project, come prepared, you will get true edits.
• I am tough and thorough. My job is to make you look good.
• Everything happens in Google docs, MS Word, Pages, or Scrivener using editing tools so you have complete control over any changes.
• I do not ghostwrite but I will help you find your voice because it needs to be heard.
