Non-Fiction Interior Book Formatting

I have a completed non-fiction manuscript for an adult readership that now needs a polished, press-ready interior layout. What matters most to me is a clean, readable design: consistent font choices and sizing, thoughtful placement of text on every page, and clear, well-styled chapter headings that guide the reader through the material.

Beyond those priorities, the book also requires professional page numbering, a fully linked table of contents, and a tidy index set at the back. If any visual cues—such as pull-quotes or sub-section breaks—will improve flow, I’m open to tasteful suggestions.

Deliverables I expect:
• Print-ready PDF laid out to industry standards (trim size will be supplied).
• Source file in InDesign or an equivalent professional layout tool.
• Finalized table of contents and index reflecting exact page numbers.

I’ll supply the manuscript in Word along with any front-matter and back-matter pieces the moment we start. Please let me know your typical turnaround time and past experience with adult non-fiction interiors so I can get a sense of fit.
