Book Formatting Services That Make Every Page Look Professional
Want a book that looks as good as it reads? Our formatting team sets your manuscript into clean, professional layouts for print and ebook, so readers can enjoy the story without distraction.
From trim size and fonts to chapters, page numbers and EPUB conversion, every detail is handled to retailer and printer standards, so your files are accepted the first time.
Formatting is one part of a complete publishing workflow. We also help with editing, cover design and distribution, so you can finish the whole project with one team.
Alongside formatting, we also offer:
About this service
The interior is what readers actually spend time with
A great cover gets the click, but the interior earns the review. Cramped margins, awkward line breaks and inconsistent headings make a book feel amateur, however good the writing is.
We design interiors that suit your genre and trim size, then produce files that pass the upload checks on the major platforms.
A well-formatted book feels effortless to read. Readers rarely notice good formatting, but they always notice bad formatting: crowded margins, inconsistent fonts, awkward page breaks or an ebook that jumps from page to page.
Our book formatting services give print and ebook editions the same careful treatment, so your book looks right whether it is held in the hand or read on a phone.
Print-ready PDFs
Correct trim size, bleed, gutters and page counts for print-on-demand and offset printing. Files are set to your chosen trim size and checked against printer requirements.
Ebook conversion
Reflowable EPUB and Kindle files tested across common reading devices. Your EPUB is built to reflow properly on different devices and screen sizes.
Chapter design
Chapter openings, drop caps, headers and ornaments that give the book personality. Consistent chapter styling gives the book a finished, professional feel.
Complex content
Tables, images, captions, footnotes, poetry and lists handled cleanly. Images, tables, footnotes and special layouts are handled without breaking the flow.
Front and back matter
Title page, copyright page, table of contents, acknowledgments and author bio. Title page, copyright page, acknowledgments and author pages are set correctly.
Our Approach To Book Formatting
Print-Ready Interior Formatting
A professionally formatted interior is what separates a self-published book from one that looks professionally published. We set trim size, margins, gutters, fonts and line spacing to print standards so every page reads comfortably.
Your final interior is delivered as a print-ready PDF that meets the specifications of major print-on-demand and offset printers, ready to upload without rejections.
Good print formatting also controls page count, which affects printing cost and spine width. We help you balance readability with a sensible book length.
- Trim size, margins and bleed set correctly
- Fonts and spacing matched to your genre
- Clean, error-checked PDF
Ebook Formatting and EPUB Conversion
Ebooks must reflow cleanly on every screen size and reading app. Our ebook formatting service converts your manuscript into a validated EPUB, with working links, a clickable table of contents and tidy chapter breaks.
We test your file so it displays properly on Kindle, Apple Books, Kobo and other major retailers.
A clean EPUB is also easier to update later. If you add a new title to your back matter or fix a typo, a well-built file makes the change simple.
- Validated EPUB file
- Clickable table of contents
- Checked across major reading apps
Chapter Design and Typography
Chapter openers, drop caps, headers and ornaments give your book its personality. We choose typography that suits your genre, whether it is a quiet literary novel or a fast-paced thriller.
Consistent styling across headings, subheadings, pull quotes and scene breaks keeps the reading experience smooth from cover to cover.
Chapter design is also where series branding can begin, with matching openers, ornaments and fonts used across every title in your catalog.
- Custom chapter openings and drop caps
- Running headers and page numbers
- Scene breaks and ornaments
Formatting for Complex Books
Cookbooks, textbooks, poetry collections and business books often include images, tables, footnotes, sidebars or special layouts. We handle these elements carefully so nothing breaks across pages or devices.
If your book has complicated content, we plan the layout first and then format it, so the final result is clear, balanced and easy to follow.
Complex layouts take planning. We discuss the structure with you early, which helps avoid changes after the pages are built.
- Images, tables and charts
- Footnotes, endnotes and sidebars
- Poetry and recipe layouts
Front and Back Matter Setup
Readers and retailers expect certain pages: title page, copyright page, dedication, table of contents, acknowledgments and about the author. We build and order these correctly for your book.
We also add a clean back-of-book page that points readers to your other titles, newsletter or website, helping you keep the readers you win.
Back matter is a quiet marketing tool. A short note asking for a review and a link to your next book can help readers take the next step.
- Title and copyright pages
- Table of contents, dedication and acknowledgments
- About the author and also-by pages
