Comprehensive Book Formatting & Design

My manuscript is ready and I want the formatting handled first so that every later step slots neatly into place. I need both digital and print editions produced side-by-side: flowing, responsive files for Kindle/ePub and a press-ready PDF for paperback and hardback. The layout must be custom, not a template, with deliberate typography choices that give the pages a distinctive, professional character.

Once the interior is locked, we will move on to a cohesive cover and a small set of interior illustrations so that the visual language is consistent from front to back. Light copy-editing or a final proof pass will also be part of the workflow before upload.

Key deliverables
• Print layout (InDesign or equivalent) with embedded fonts and trim, bleed, and spine correctly set
• ePub/Kindle files that replicate the print styling and pass all pre-flight checks
• Coordinated cover (front, spine, back) ready for KDP and IngramSpark specs
• Illustrations supplied in layered, high-resolution files for easy colour tweaks
• Final proofed manuscript reflecting any last-minute textual corrections

If you have a portfolio that shows custom layouts and strong typographic decisions, along with illustration or cover samples, that will help me see how you think about a book as a whole object, not just a series of tasks. Let me know your proposed timeline for each stage and the tools you prefer to work in so we can get moving right away.
