Professional InDesign Book Formatting Expert Needed

Job ID: 40531144

Budget: €75 EUR

I am looking for a freelancer with a professional background in InDesign and typography to format a book.

The book currently exists as a Word document and needs to be formatted into a print-ready InDesign file.

Project details:

Trim size: 5.5" × 8.5"
Approximately 500 pages
Five images
Black-and-white interior
Roughly half of the content consists of quotations and the other half of regular text

This project is strictly about formatting. I already have a completed InDesign source file that must be used as the foundation for the work. In addition, I will provide a PDF showing exactly how the finished book should look, including pre-formatted sample pages, as well as the complete manuscript in Word format.

The task itself is very straightforward for someone who knows what they are doing and works professionally with typography and book design. I am not looking for someone who does this only occasionally or as a side activity. I am specifically looking for a professional with strong expertise in typography and InDesign.

The work mainly consists of applying the existing design and formatting throughout the book. The only additional tasks are updating the running headers, page numbers, and the table of contents.

The deadline is as soon as reasonably possible, and I am happy to discuss a realistic delivery schedule.

The budget is $75, plus a $25 tip if everything is completed smoothly and to a high standard. The budget is not negotiable.
