Book Formatting & Interior Design for KDP, EPUB, and Print. Message me for a consultation. Hi! Iโ€™m Tracey โ€” an award-winning indie author and book formatter who understands how important it is for a finished book to look as professional as the story, message, or expertise inside it. I specialize in clean, professional book formatting and interior layout for independent authors, entrepreneurs, and small publishers. Whether you need a Kindle-ready EPUB, a print-ready PDF for Amazon KDP or IngramSpark, or a polished interior for a workbook, devotional, memoir, novel, or nonfiction title, I can help prepare your book for publication with care and attention to detail. My formatting work includes: โ€ข Print-ready interiors for paperback and hardcover โ€ข EPUB formatting for Kindle and other ebook platforms โ€ข Chapter openings, headers, footers, and page numbers โ€ข Margins, spacing, trim size, and gutter setup โ€ข Front matter and back matter formatting โ€ข Clickable tables of contents โ€ข Heading hierarchy and section styling โ€ข Image, chart, and simple graphic placement โ€ข KDP and IngramSpark file preparation Depending on the project, I work in Adobe InDesign, Affinity Publisher, Atticus, Microsoft Word, Canva, Vellum, and PDF tools. Some books need a simple, clean layout; others need a more designed interior with callouts, reflection pages, worksheets, images, or visual hierarchy. I choose the workflow that best fits the project. As an author myself, I understand the publishing process from both sides. I know how stressful the final production stage can feel, especially when formatting issues show up right before launch. My goal is to make that step smoother by creating files that are polished, readable, consistent, and ready for upload. Iโ€™m detail-oriented, collaborative, and practical. I care about clean typography, professional layout, and making sure your book feels finished โ€” not just formatted.

I have a diverse set of skills. I take on many different projects, and each has its own flair, flow, goals, and results. I learn from everything I do and thrive by taking on new projects and by being an expert in areas where I excel. I have worked on projects that include, but are not limited to: - WCAG/ADA - QA Software Testing (Visual & User Workflow Based) - Quality Assurance Testing - UI/UX Testing - Website Auditing - Website Manager & Hosting - Website Design & Developing (WordPress & Elementor) - E-Commerce & setting up an online store (WooCommerce & Square) - Graphic Design, Logos, & Branding - Podcast Editing & Promotion - Video Editing, Voice Overrides, & YouTube - eBooks, Presentations, & PDF Design - Proofreading - Marketing & SMM - Desktop Publishing Companies I have worked with: - SMB Team Marketing Agency - MURAL (Visual Collaboration Software) - The Retirement Lifestyle Show - Tomlinson Center - Heliospekt - GT Advanced Aerial Services - Bella Macroon - Leanin' Tree Greeting Cards - Janus Fundsโ€จ - Wild Oats Markets (now Whole Foods)โ€จ - Denver Broncos - Colorado Rockies - Mr. Rooterโ€จ - Mr. Electric - Aire Serv - And Moreโ€จ I currently have openings for short-term projects from start to finish or for ongoing weekly/monthly projects, and there is always room for growth.
