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. What I can help you with • Amazon KDP Book Design & Formatting • Book Layout Design & Typesetting • Paperback & Hardcover Formatting • eBook & Kindle Formatting • EPUB Formatting • Copyediting & Proofreading • Developmental Editing • Manuscript Editing & Formatting • Book Cover Design • Print-Ready PDF Preparation • KDP & IngramSpark Publishing Support • Workbook & Lead Magnet Design • Children’s Book Layout Design • Cookbook Layout & Formatting • Fiction & Non-Fiction Book Design • Memoir, Poetry & Self-Help Book Formatting 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.

My skills are twofold. I've been writing and editing for 25 years, including managing a team of authors for publishing companies. My focus is rapid release for higher yield. I prefer fantasy and dark romance, though I work in all genres. On the other end, I've been in Logistics and Operations for over 15 years. I'm quite fluent in SAP and all CRM tools. I've moved everything from nuts and bolts to chartering a private jet for large equipment.

✅ Film Composer - Scored, "Will I Dance Again", featuring Alfre Woodard & Misty Copeland ✅ Music Production – Full-track production from concept to final master ✅ Worthe Artists — Audio Engineer & Sound Designer – Film & TV post-production ✅ Podcast Editor – Dialogue cleanup, mixing, mastering & broadcast-ready 🎧 13+ Years of Music Production Experience - Instagram: 📸 @cammeyersmusic 🎙️ 72 Podcast Shows Produced (intros, full episodes, branded sound) Currently producing “Brainglitter,” the new show from Mel Robbins’ co-star Sam Griffin, where I’ve fully produced the podcast and worked hand-in-hand to craft its iconic sound and brand identity. I’m a music producer, composer, songwriter, and sonic identity specialist with 12+ years of experience. In July 2025, I launched my podcast music production business, creating fully custom intros, theme beds, and outros tailored to each show’s vision. I’ve produced 70+ original podcast themes, delivering broadcast-ready audio for Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and YouTube — with 100% ownership transferred to clients. I also produce music for artists across genres including EDM, indie alternative, indie folk, and vintage 1950s-inspired sounds, and I’m open to expanding into TV, film, and sync licensing projects. Previously, I ran a home studio in Charleston, SC, producing, recording, and mixing for local artists, and I release my own music under the name Cam Meyers. My focus is building intentional, cinematic, and uniquely branded music that elevates podcasts, artists, and media projects. Before focusing on podcast production, I spent five years running a home studio in Charleston, South Carolina, collaborating with a wide range of local artists across genres. During that time, I recorded, produced, mixed, and developed records while helping artists shape their sound from the ground up. Alongside my production work, I release my own music under the artist name Cam Meyers. I’m especially drawn to EDM, indie alternative, indie folk, and vintage 1950s-inspired sounds, blending modern production with timeless character and emotion. At the core of everything I create is the same goal: building music that feels intentional, cinematic, and uniquely branded to the artist or platform it represents.
