Personal Experience Journal Creation

Journal 185 is my passion project—a collection of candid personal experiences that I want to share in a beautifully crafted journal available in both print and digital formats. I have the raw stories and ideas; what I need now is a partner who can shape them into a cohesive publication.

The scope covers three main areas:

• Content shaping and flow: edit, sequence, and lightly polish the narratives so they read naturally while preserving each author’s voice.
• Layout for dual release: create a clean interior that works in print (CMYK, bleed, PDF/X-1a) and reflows gracefully in a digital edition (ePub or interactive PDF).
• Minimalist cover: design a calm, uncluttered cover that sets the tone for honest reflection, supplying print-ready and web thumbnails.

Please use standard publishing tools—Adobe InDesign, Affinity Publisher, or comparable software—so I can open and tweak the source files later if needed.

Acceptance criteria
• Print PDF passes pre-press checks with my printer.
• ePub validates without errors and displays correctly on common readers.
• All assets (fonts, images, source files) are included and license-cleared.

If you enjoy transforming real-life stories into a tangible, minimalist product, let’s talk details and schedule.
