Convert Word Manuscript to Book
Budget: $14 – $30 NZD
I have a Microsoft Word manuscript of roughly 30 pages that needs to be transformed into a clean, professional book layout. The goal is to open the file and feel as though it is ready for the printer—consistent margins, proper trim-size settings, flowing page numbers, and polished typography throughout.
Content is already final; your task is purely layout and formatting. I’m flexible on trim size (6 × 9, 5.5 × 8.5, or even 8.5 × 11 if you advise it fits best) and open to your recommendation on single-column versus two-column, as long as the end result reads smoothly and looks like a real book.
What matters to me is:
• Seamless text flow with no awkward page breaks
• Professional headers/footers and automatic page numbering
• Section breaks where logical (chapter starts)
• Clickable table of contents generated from the existing headings
• Final delivery in fully editable .docx plus a print-ready PDF
Please let me know which trim size and layout you think suit a 30-page work and what software (Word, InDesign, etc.) you will use so I understand your process. If you have sample pages from past projects, include a link—seeing is believing. I’d like to wrap this up quickly, so share how soon you can turn the file around once I hand it over.
