Comprehensive Print Book Layout
Budget: $750 – $1,500 USD
I’m looking for a book-layout specialist to transform my finished manuscript—well over 300 pages—into a polished, press-ready print edition. The project combines dense text with a significant number of images, so I need careful typographic styling, consistent page architecture, and precise image placement that respects bleed, trim, and gutter requirements.
You’ll begin with my Word file and a folder of high-resolution images, then move everything into InDesign (or an equivalent professional layout tool). I’d like a clean, readable type hierarchy, running headers/footers, properly formatted footnotes, and a versatile master-page system so future reprints are painless.
Deliverables
• Editable source file (.indd or similar)
• Print-ready PDF that meets my printer’s specifications (CMYK, correct bleed & crop marks)
• A brief style sheet outlining fonts, sizes, and color values
Once complete, I’ll do a single consolidated review pass; after revisions we should be ready for upload to the printer. If you have experience preparing long-form print books of this scale, I’m eager to see samples of similar work.
