What Do I Do—

I handle submission formatting and the interior formatting of books. My job is to make sure the interior of your book follows house style guides and looks good in eBook/print or submissions.

What Do I Not Do—

I do not do covers, editing, or proofreading.

I do not do children’s picture books.

What Formats Do I Do—

Ebook—Epub and Mobi

Print—paperback and hardback

My files pass the requirements of all major retailers including IngramSpark, KDP, Smashwords, and many others.

You are sending me the final file. These are NOT the draft files with expectation of fixing them later. Changes, even on a minor scale, can affect page count/layout. Please have your front matter, book, and back matter laid out the way you want. If you don’t know about these things, please ask so that I can help you prior to you sending me the file.

Please have all images labeled. Scenebreak for an image you want as a scene break or Chapter1 and Chapter1a if there are multiple images in a chapter and have those spots labeled in your work [Chapter1] [Chapter4c] or noted in conversation “I would like the image scenebreak used for all *** scene breaks.” Images should be in PNG or JPEG. You can have the images in the Word doc, but please send the individual images as well.

Any changes due to lack of final files (IE you leaving out a CTA/Dedication or spelling errors you, your proofer, or the editor didn’t catch) or front matter/back matter updates are subject to a $20 per hour fixing fee with a minimum of $20 billed.

If your book is not ready (sending it in various pieces or forgetting parts), you will be moved out of queue, and once I have all the pieces, you will then be shifted to the next available opening which could be days/weeks from the date you finish sending me the files/images/CTAs. You wouldn’t want someone else to hold up formatting your work, and so my only fair option is to remove you from queue until you are ready.
