If your book or document needs to look professional, publish without errors, and meet platform standards the first time, you’re in the right place. I specialize in Adobe InDesign projects focused on books and long-form documents. This is not general graphic design. This is structured, publication-ready layout built for real-world publishing. I’ve worked on multiple books and documents that are now live on Amazon, and some are being used in schools, colleges, and by professionals in their respective fields. My focus is simple: clean design, zero formatting issues, and files that pass KDP and IngramSpark without revisions. What I handle: • Book formatting for Amazon KDP and IngramSpark (print + ebook) • Interior layout design for fiction, non-fiction, workbooks, and journals • Advanced EPUB and Kindle formatting • Long documents including reports, curriculum books, and guides • Lead magnets and high-converting PDF designs • Book cover design for print and digital • File conversion (Word, PDF, InDesign, EPUB) This is not basic formatting. Every document is built using a proper system: • Paragraph and character styles for full consistency • Master pages for scalable layouts • Clean typography and spacing • Structured tables, footnotes, and references • Print-ready setup with correct trim size, margins, and bleed EPUB EXPERTISE (CORE ADVANTAGE) Most freelancers export EPUBs. I build them properly. Your EPUB will be: • Clean and validated • Compatible across Kindle and major readers • Structured with proper navigation and hierarchy • Free from broken styles, spacing issues, and messy code If you already have a broken EPUB, I can fix it at the root level. WHY CLIENTS CHOOSE ME? • Specialized in InDesign, not a generalist • Strong understanding of publishing standards (KDP, IngramSpark) • Experience with complex and long documents • Clean, consistent, and professional layouts • No back-and-forth with rejected files Send your file. I’ll handle the rest.

I help self-published authors turn manuscripts into professionally designed, publishing-ready books for Amazon KDP, IngramSpark, BookVault, Lulu, Barnes & Noble Press, private printers and other publishing platforms. I am Nada Orlic, a book cover designer and publishing design consultant with over 20 years of experience in book design. On Upwork, I have completed over 600 book projects, with 100% Job Success and Top Rated status. My work goes beyond a single cover file. I help authors create a professional book presentation across eBook, paperback, hardcover and audiobook formats, with properly prepared files, strong visual direction and practical support through the production process. Projects can be booked as fixed-price packages or custom scopes, depending on the formats, platforms and support needed. What I can help with: • Custom book cover design for eBook, paperback, hardcover and audiobook editions • KDP, IngramSpark, BookVault, Lulu and private printer file preparation • Correct trim size, spine width, bleed, color setup and export specifications • Dust jackets, case laminate covers, foil-ready layouts and premium print variations • Interior formatting for novels, memoirs, nonfiction, journals, workbooks and children’s nonfiction • Amazon A+ Content, 3D mockups, launch graphics and promotional visuals • Author websites, book landing pages and visual direction for author presentation • Practical publishing-preparation guidance for platform setup, print options, metadata basics and proof review I work especially well with nonfiction authors, experts, consultants, coaches and memoir writers who want their book to look professional, trustworthy and competitive. I also work with select fiction genres where a strong, genre-aware cover is essential for both print and digital release. My goal is to give you a book that looks professionally designed, passes technical checks and feels ready to meet readers, reviewers, clients or event audiences.

Are you ready to finally tell your story? You have a story that won’t let you sleep. The childhood you survived. The business you built from nothing. The loss that nearly broke you, or the love that saved you. Friends have told you for years, “You should write a book.” But when you sit down to write, you freeze. You’re not alone. Most people who have lived extraordinary lives struggle to turn their experiences into a compelling memoir. They get overwhelmed by structure, paralyzed by vulnerability, or trapped in a flat, chronological telling that doesn’t capture the power of their real voice. That’s where I come in. I’m Blessing, a professional memoir, narrative nonfiction, and book editor. I help authors transform raw, vulnerable life experiences into page-turning memoirs that readers can’t put down. Whether you have 200 scattered pages or just a burning idea, I guide you through structure, voice, and polish, so your story feels authentic, emotionally resonant, and professionally crafted. WHAT I CAN DO FOR YOU: Memoir Writing & Ghostwriting: I conduct in-depth interviews and write your book in your authentic voice while you retain full author credit. Ideal when you have the story but need a professional writer to tell it. Developmental Editing: I restructure your story so it flows, builds tension, and delivers real impact. No more confusion about where to start or what to include. Line Editing: I refine your voice, so your writing feels real, clear, and engaging, not stiff or overcomplicated. Copy Editing: I catch grammar, punctuation, and consistency issues while preserving your style. Proofreading: I provide a clean, error-free manuscript ready for publishing with no hidden typos or distractions. WHY CLIENTS CHOOSE ME: I simplify the entire writing process I turn ideas into structured, readable books I preserve your voice while improving clarity I help you avoid wasted time and costly mistakes I focus on results: a book people actually enjoy reading WHOM I WORK BEST WITH: First-time authors who feel stuck Professionals with a story but no time to write Writers with unfinished or messy drafts Anyone serious about publishing a quality book Invite me to your job and tell me: What is your book about? Where are you in the writing process? What’s your biggest challenge right now? What’s your timeline and publishing goal? I respond quickly and show you the next clear step.

With over 41 years of dedication to the editing and publishing field, my expertise and focus lies in assisting writers to produce content that is not only grammatically of high standard, but is engaging to the reader. Myriad subtle elements have an indirect but profound impact on a piece of writing on its reader. My linguistic proficiency shapes my approach to editing, where every word is chosen with purpose, every concept is logically presented, and the structure and flow of a piece of writing is smooth and harmonious. I offer: - Copy-editing: I have worked on a vast array of different genres, industries, and subjects, editing everything from books, to business communiqués, ad copy, websites, articles, blogs, and various other manuscripts. - Developmental editing: I have very many authors whose books are successfully selling, which I have helped develop, edit, and proofread (over 987 books - fiction and non-fiction to date - on Upwork but mainly outside this platform, working for various publishing houses - see below for list; references available on request). - Skilled academic editing (theses/dissertations/journal articles), I am au fait with various academic referencing styles (e.g. APA, Harvard, MLA, Chicago/CMOS/Turabian, MHRA, etc.). Professors, graduates, and students all pepper my resume with glowing thanks. I currently have a 100% pass rate for all my postgraduate students. (References available on request.) - I also offer the unique benefit of having TEFL experience (Teaching English as a Foreign Language) and quickly and easily read beyond sometimes awkward language (for example, of non-first language English speakers/writers) so as to rephrase/restructure, and advise content that is correct, reads smoothly and is engaging. - I am skilled at KDP/Ingramspark/print formatting (in Word but can convert to other programs if need be) and can provide documents crafted to specifications for publishing via your publisher of choice in all three formats: hardcover, paperback and e-book. - My many years of experience in design and layout adds a unique benefit ... having an editor (who knows your material well) also design your book ensures all elements are appropriately and effectively presented. I also provide design guidance and/or do the design, sourcing design elements and images (including fonts) that are free for commercial use for you to approve. - I have extensive publishing experience (having worked as a Managing Editor for Pearson Publishers, editing, proofreading, and project management), as well as freelance with ESI Press (University of Pretoria), Publishing World SA, Jonathan Ball Publishers, Print on Demand Publishers, Accelerated Authors' Academy and Word 2 Kindle. I thus am familiar with working to publishers' style guides and specifications. I also have 18 years' full-time experience as Editor of the SA Navy's flagship publication Navy News Magazine and Creative Director of the SA Navy Multi-Media Center during which I did extensive editing and proofreading, and also established, ran, trained, and worked in the DTP/design and layout section.
