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've been at this writing game for a long, long time--over 40 years, to be exact. I've won national writing contests, published books with small presses, been the "go-to" editor for fast-turnaround "quick books" at a major publisher, and, of course, helped dozens of individual writers to become better authors. I'm the pickiest of the picky, a crackerjack speller, and The Grammarian About Whom Your Mother Warned You. I also wear a second hat: I've been a performing musician for most of my life--singing, primarily. I have a Bachelor of Music degree, have played the piano since I was 8, and am still involved in musicmaking today. My major was theory, but my first love Is voice, and I am continually fascinated by music history. What a combo, huh? 😁 So...if you want the best TLC your book can get--especially if music is also a part of your life as well--you truly can't do any better. The (Singing) Book Magician is here!
