Book Formatting Services for Print and Ebook
Readers notice a badly set page even if they can't say why. We lay out your interior so it reads like a book from a major publisher, and we deliver files every platform accepts the first time.

What our formatting includes
Ebook conversion
A reflowable EPUB with a linked table of contents that displays well on Kindle, Apple Books, Kobo and Google Play.
Typography that reads well
Carefully chosen fonts, consistent spacing and chapter openers, with widows, orphans and stray hyphens cleaned up.
Front and back matter
Title page, copyright page, dedication, table of contents, acknowledgments and author bio, all set in place.
Images, tables and notes
Photos, charts, tables, footnotes and endnotes placed and sized so they print sharply and stay readable on screens.
Platform checks
We test every file against KDP, IngramSpark and EPUB validation, so your upload goes through without errors.
Why authors work with us
A good result depends as much on the working relationship as on the craft.
Specialists matched to your book
We pair you with people who work in your genre and format, not whoever happens to be free.
Nothing goes out without your yes
You review drafts and proofs at every stage and ask for changes before anything is final.
One person to talk to
A dedicated project manager answers your questions and keeps the delivery date agreed at the start.
One team for every step
Editing, design, publishing and promotion happen under one roof, so nothing is lost between hand-offs.
Who our formatting is for
If your manuscript is edited and ready, formatting is the step that turns a Word file into a real book.
- Self-publishers preparing paperback, hardcover and ebook editions
- Authors whose files were rejected by KDP or IngramSpark
- Nonfiction books with tables, images, footnotes or indexes
- Poetry, cookbooks and children's books with special layouts
- Authors updating a second edition or a new trim size
