You will get a high-quality, professional cookbook layout for print or digital selling
Project details
You have written your cookbook to perfection, but designing it feels overwhelming?
It doesn’t have to be, not with me as your dedicated designer.
Whether you’re a chef, food blogger, nutritionist or culinary content creator, I’m here to help you bring that cookbook to life: from raw content to a polished, market-ready PDF, ready to be printed and sold in thousands of copies worldwide.
This isn’t just layout work. It’s a strategic design tailored to your brand, your audience, and your publishing goals.
With over a decade of design experience, I create clean, easy-to-follow cookbooks that not only look stunning but also help build trust and authority with your readers.
And, yes , every layout is built from scratch. I don’t believe in templates! I believe in intentional, high-quality design where each design choice has a reason behind it.
What you’ll get:
• a fully customized cookbook layout
• strategic layout structure
• free images (if needed)
• friendly, collaborative process from start to finish
• ongoing support, even after delivery
I’ll craft you a cookbook that looks like it belongs on the shelves—because it does.
Are you ready?

Design a Professional Lead Magnet
As with all the projects I have worked on with her, Jovana did a great job with this one as well. I appreciate the fact that she doesn't just "decorate." She really engages with the content and works to make its presentation as clear and professional as possible!

URGENT - Graphic Designer for Book Layout
I really appreciate working with Jovana because she doesn't just decorate – she genuinely considers how the design impacts the messaging of a publication. She asked great questions about the creative brief I provided and we ended up with a better book because of it. Am looking forward to working with Jovana on future projects!

Belgrade, Serbia - 4:11 pm local time
As a psychology nerd at heart, somewhere along the way that pulled me into instructional design. I wanted to understand not just how a page looks, but how someone actually uses it, learns from it, and comes back to it.
I trained in it deliberately (partly to build my own planner collection), and it turned out to be exactly the skill that was missing from most workbook designs.
There wasn't a name for combining that with writing and layout, so I made one up: Content Transformation Specialist.
If you already have a polished, structured manuscript and just need it typeset, do not worry, I do that, too—and do it well.
But where I add the most value is earlier: turning a rough idea, a messy Word document, or a half-finished outline into a book or workbook that readers can actually use and a client can actually sell.
What I actually do:
* Workbook development: structure, content flow, and pedagogy for workbooks, planners, journals, and interactive guides, built from the ground up, not just laid out
* Book & eBook interior design: InDesign typesetting, print-ready PDFs, formatting for KDP, IngramSpark, or your publisher's specifications
* Educational PDFs & lead magnets: guides, PDF books, spreadsheets, downloadable resources built to be used, not just downloaded and forgotten
* Editing: as part of the books and workbooks I build, tightening and refining the content alongside the design, not offered as a standalone service
Let me tell you how I do it:
1. Research: I get into your goals, your audience, and what the finished piece needs to do for them.
2. Design samples: before full production starts, I present a few design samples for you to choose from, so you're picking an approach and a visual style
3. You choose: once you pick the direction that fits your project best, I build the whole piece in that style
4. Building: structure, content editing, and design happen together as I go and I refine all three as the piece comes together
5. Delivery: clean, print-ready or platform-ready files, on time
Let me show you what past clients said:
"I am impressed by her experience, creativity, integrity and work ethic. The workbook she designed for my advanced presentation skills class was colorful, well laid out and functional."
"Jovana is not only a great designer but a very hard working person. She always meets deadlines and does extra effort to make everything perfect. She's much into details and is always ready to support me with great ideas."
"I had nothing but the written word and wanted someone to professionally typeset it, add graphics and make the whole thing visually attractive. Jovana did all of that and was quite patient with me through the process."
I am an Upwork's Top Rated freelancer, InDesign specialist, and someone who's been doing this since before "content transformation" was a phrase anyone needed.
If your project needs more than formatting or even just formatting done right, let's talk.
Steps for completing your project
After purchasing the project, send requirements so Jovana can start the project.
Delivery time starts when Jovana receives requirements from you.
Jovana works on your project following the steps below.
Revisions may occur after the delivery date.
Send in your content
Share your recipes in a Word doc or as a Google Document link. Structured or unstructured, doesn’t matter, I can work with both, just let me know in advance. Also, if you have specific sections, intros or categories, those should be included as well.
Share your technical details and wishes
Is this for print? Digital? What size? What platform? (I can also help you pick.) Also, share with me your branding, style preferences or any design inspiration you have that you'd like me to follow.
