Manuscript Formatter for Digital & Print Publication
Budget: £20 – £250 GBP
Deliverable Timeline:
Initial draft formats (eBook + print) within 1 day
Final revisions and handover within 3 days
I am seeking an experienced book formatter to take my completed manuscript (approximately 46,500 words across 14 chapters) in Microsoft Word format and prepare it for both digital publication (eBook) and physical print (paperback and hardback).
The book is a narrative non-fiction work exploring technology and society. The tone is literary, intelligent, and reflective — presentation and typography should reflect that.
Front cover design is not required. The back cover will include:
Text (reviews, synopsis, and about-the-book paragraph)
ISBN and barcode placement (ISBN will be provided)
Deliverables:
eBook Formats:
EPUB (for Apple Books and general distribution)
MOBI/KPF (for Amazon Kindle)
Proper internal linking (TOC, chapter navigation)
Clean typography, consistent paragraph spacing, and professional layout
Print-Ready Files:
PDF print layouts for both paperback and hardback editions
Sized and formatted for Amazon KDP and/or IngramSpark specifications
Proper margins, bleed, gutter, and pagination
Chapter title pages and ornamental section breaks (where appropriate)
Back cover layout with text and ISBN/barcode space
General Requirements:
Ensure visual consistency across all formats
Use clean, legible typography suitable for print and digital
Include front matter (title page, copyright, dedication, acknowledgments)
Include back matter (about the author, notes if any)
Provide final, fully formatted files ready for upload
Files Provided:
Word document of full manuscript
ISBN number(s)
Back cover text and barcode placement notes
Any typographic or layout references if needed
Ideal Freelancer:
Proven experience formatting manuscripts for Kindle, EPUB, and print-on-demand
Portfolio of previously formatted books (both eBook and print)
Understanding of typographic conventions for modern non-fiction
Attention to detail and ability to deliver a clean, elegant result
