I don’t just “design pages” — I build clean, structured documents that are easy to read, easy to edit, and ready for print.
I specialize in:
• Books & eBooks (layout + formatting)
• Activity Book for kids, Proposals, reports, and multi-page documents
• Converting messy files (Word, Canva, Illustrator) into professional InDesign systems
What you’ll get:
✔ Consistent typography & layout (no manual overrides)
✔ Master pages, paragraph styles, and reusable templates
✔ Print-ready files (bleed, margins, CMYK, KDP/IngramSpark)
✔ Clean, organized INDD files your team can reuse
Most designers focus on visuals. I focus on structure + usability + print accuracy.
If you need something clean, professional, and built properly — I can help.

I am a native English speaker and former college teacher from the U.S. I worked at the University of Chicago Press and edited a peer-reviewed academic journal while teaching at Ohio State University. I have edited 80 or more books and papers for publication. I also typeset and format epubs and Kindle documents: everything that you need to publish your work.
I speak Spanish and can translate from Spanish to English and vice versa. I also read French, German, Portuguese, Latin, Italian, Greek (ancient), and Hebrew (ancient). I have helped authors whose native language is not English publish their work in English.
I do not use AI, and I do not edit AI work.

Your manuscript deserves more than a clean layout...it deserves a book that passes KDP and Lulu review on the first upload. I format, typeset, and design print and eBook interiors that look professional, read smoothly, and meet every platform requirement.
Certified Book Editor, Formatter, and EPUB Expert specializing in KDP, Lulu, IngramSpark, and Draft2Digital book interiors for Publishing.
What sets me apart is end-to-end ownership: I handle formatting, typesetting, line editing, cover design, and upload prep under one roof, so you never have to coordinate between multiple freelancers or worry about version mismatches. I work in Adobe InDesign, Affinity Publisher, Vellum, Atticus, and Calibre — whichever tool fits your project best.
𝐄𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐠𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭 𝐛𝐨𝐨𝐤 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐬 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐚𝐠𝐞, 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐚𝐠𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐬𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐚𝐬, 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐞𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐬, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐯𝐨𝐢𝐜𝐞 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐥𝐝. Writing the manuscript is only half the journey. How that story is presented determines whether readers stay, trust you, and take your message seriously. That’s where I come in.
I hold a Certified Book Editor and Formatter credential from Authors Den and have successfully delivered formatting and design projects for authors publishing on KDP, Lulu, and IngramSpark. Every completed project on Upwork has earned a 5-star rating, and I currently carry six active contracts, which is a reflection of the trust authors place in my work.
I know how overwhelming self-publishing can feel. One small formatting error can lead to upload issues, poor reviews, or a book that simply doesn’t feel “right” in the reader’s hands. That’s why I approach every project with patience, precision, and respect for your work. Your book isn’t just content, it’s your credibility.
Here is what I can deliver for you:
✅ Book formatting and typesetting for Amazon KDP, Lulu, IngramSpark, and Draft2Digital
✅ Print-ready interior layouts — paperback, hardcover, and large-print editions
✅ eBook formatting — EPUB, MOBI, and KFX-compatible files
✅ Line editing, proofreading, and manuscript layout refinement
✅ Fiction, non-fiction, journals, planners, workbooks, and low-content books
✅ Book cover design — paperback wrap and hardcover case files
✅ Author websites and book landing pages built for reader conversion

✔ Adobe Indesign
✔ Affinity Publisher
✔ Calibre for EPUB
✔ Canva
✔ Vellum
✔ Atticus
✔ Adobe Photoshop
✔ Reedsy Book Editor
Whether you’re publishing your first book or your tenth, I treat every project with the same level of care and attention to detail. I focus on typography, spacing, margins, flow, and structure to create reader-friendly, print-perfect interiors that feel professional, polished, and enjoyable to read from the first page to the last.
I don’t believe in rushing books out the door. I believe in doing it right. Because your readers will judge your book within seconds, and great formatting quietly builds trust, comfort, and authority without saying a word.
My goal is simple: to help you publish a book you’re proud to put your name on, one that looks professional, reads smoothly, and stands confidently alongside traditionally published titles.
If you are ready to take your manuscript from draft to publish-ready, send me a message and I will respond within a few hours. Let's get your book looking exactly the way it deserves.
