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. 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 𝐒𝐨𝐟𝐭𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐬 𝐈 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐭 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐝𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐠𝐧 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡: ✔ Microsoft Word ✔ 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.

Your manuscript deserves more than a Word document. I turn author drafts into professionally formatted, publish-ready books for Amazon KDP, IngramSpark, and beyond — print, eBook, and full interior layout included. I specialize in helping authors and publishers handle the parts that often delay publication: editing, layout, cover design, and book marketing materials. Whether you're releasing your first book or building your author brand, I make sure every part of your project looks professional and works together. What sets me apart is end-to-end publishing support under one roof. Most freelancers handle formatting or editing — I cover both, plus cover design, EPUB conversion, and promotional visuals. You don't need to coordinate five different people to get your book to market. Every formatting or typesetting order also includes a free promotional design package: a custom bookmark, book teaser graphic, social banner, or launch flyer — my way of helping your book get noticed beyond the pages. A good book isn’t just about the words on the page. Readers notice the formatting, the cover, the flow, and even the promotional materials before they decide to trust your work. That’s why I offer complete publishing support from manuscript preparation to promotion. Here's what I can handle for your project: ✔ Book formatting & typesetting (print and eBook) ✔ Interior layout design for paperback and hardcover ✔ EPUB and Kindle file formatting ✔ Developmental, line, and copy editing ✔ Proofreading and final manuscript polish ✔ Book cover design (front, spine, full wrap) ✔ Book trailer creation ✔ Promotional graphics: launch flyers, social banners, author visuals ✔ Upload-ready files for KDP, IngramSpark, Lulu, Draft2Digital I work across fiction, nonfiction, memoirs, children's books, workbooks, devotionals, journals, cookbooks, and low-content projects. Tools: Adobe InDesign, Affinity Publisher, Vellum, Atticus, Calibre, Canva, Microsoft Word, Reedsy Book Editor. I pay attention to the small details many people skip: margins, page balance, chapter spacing, font pairing, trim size, bleed, paragraph styles, print specifications, and platform compliance. Those details are what make a book feel professionally published. For promotion, I also create visual assets that help your book get noticed, from trailers to flyers to launch graphics that fit your audience and genre. A strong book deserves strong presentation, both inside and outside the pages. 5-star rated on Upwork. Certified book editor and formatter (Authors Den). I pay close attention to the details that separate amateur layouts from professional ones: margins, page balance, chapter spacing, font pairing, trim size, bleed, paragraph styles, and full platform compliance. Those details are what make a reader trust your book before they read a single word. 5-star rated on Upwork. Certified book editor and formatter (Authors Den).

Let me take the tedious technical publishing details off your plate so you can focus on getting your brilliant story out into the world. I help authors and publishers turn raw manuscripts into professional, market-ready books. My background is in professional publishing and design (including a Master’s in Publishing), and years of experience at imprints like Canbury Press and newsrooms like Gannett. My jobs have spanned from creative illustrations to designing corporate presentations to handling technical print details for typesetting. I love books and want to help you get your story out into the world What past clients have said: "Having worked in fashion and alongside other creators, I have grown a bittersweet relationship with collaborative projects. People always overpromise, then, when the initial excitement has worn off, the project falls apart. Ace is the first collaborator where this hasn’t been the case. Throughout thick and thin, she maintained a full and honest channel of communication. Alexandria isn’t afraid to put the graft in, and it shows." - Charles Salisbury, for work as a Creative Project Manager. "Alexandria had great communication and walked me through every step of the process. Understanding the 'why' of each procedure was a learning lesson for me. I feel lucky I found her." - Joanne Frank for work as Content Strategist on a Substack Launch. Tools I love using: IngramSpark, Lightning Source, AmazonKDP, Google Drive, Slack, Hootsuite, Convertkit, HubSpot, Wordpress, Squarespace, Canva, Riverside, Adobe CC including: Photoshop, Premiere, Audition, InDesign, Microsoft Office - and anything I don't know, I'll teach myself. I'm always looking to increase my online arsenal. My specialties include: - Illustrated Cover Design - Complex interior page design or simple and clean professional novel page design - PowerPoint Pitch Presentations - Blog and Substack Content Strategy I come from a fast-paced newsroom and marketing background, which means I treat every deadline as non-negotiable and every detail as vital. My goal is to provide high-quality support on short-term tasks today while building a long-term partnership that helps your business scale.

Most self-published authors and publishing brands don’t struggle to write their content; they struggle to format it into a professional layout that actually sells. I’m Ajiri Williams, a dedicated Book Formatting Expert, Book Cover designer, and Layout Design specialist using Adobe InDesign to transform raw text into premium, traditionally published experiences. If your manuscript looks amateurish, your technical manual is confusing, or your Kindle file is failing validation, the issue isn't your writing.
