InDesign Layout for Academic Textbook

Job ID: 40003498

Budget: €30 – €250 EUR

I have a 100- to 150-page manuscript in Microsoft Word that now needs its final, polished layout in Adobe InDesign. The content is educational and written for a higher-education audience, so the design should feel professional, scholarly, and uncluttered. I would like the finished pages set up on a B5 trim size.

The manuscript is already edited; what remains is a clean, consistent layout that handles chapter openers, heading hierarchies, footnotes, tables, figures, and a reference section smoothly. Please establish paragraph and character styles so future text changes are effortless.

Here’s what I need delivered:
• An InDesign package with all linked graphics and fonts
• A press-ready CMYK PDF suitable for print
• A web-optimised PDF for digital distribution

When you respond, show two or three samples of comparable textbook or academic work and let me know your estimated turnaround time. If anything is unclear—such as preferred typefaces, colour profile, or how you want to handle an index—feel free to ask. I look forward to seeing how you can give this project a crisp, professional finish.
