What We Do

Our Core Services

We specialize in three essential services that help authors bring their books to market with professional quality and technical precision.

  • Print-ready book interior formatting with professional typography and layout.
  • Complete Amazon KDP publishing setup, from account to final upload.
  • Kindle eBook formatting optimized for all devices and screen sizes.

Every project receives careful attention to technical standards and readability, ensuring your content looks professional across all formats.

Services and Pricing

Our pricing is transparent and based on word count. Every package includes one round of revisions to ensure you're completely satisfied with the final product.

Our Simple 4-Step Process

From initial contact to published book, we've streamlined the workflow to be efficient and stress-free.
Most projects complete within 2-3 weeks.

01

Submit Your Manuscript

Send us your completed, proofread manuscript along with any specific requirements or preferences. We’ll review it and prepare a detailed quote based on word count and project scope.

02

Free Formatting Sample & Quote Approval

Before any commitment, we create a short free formatting sample using your manuscript. This allows you to see exactly how your book will look and ensures we’re aligned on style and structure. Once you’re happy with the sample, you approve the quote and timeline, and we schedule your project.

03

We Format Your Book

Our team handles all technical formatting according to industry standards. We work efficiently and may reach out if any layout-related decisions are needed.

04

Review and Revise

You’ll receive the formatted files for review. One round of revisions is included to fine-tune formatting details. After final approval, we deliver the ready-to-publish files (and handle Amazon KDP setup if included).

What We Don't Do

To maintain our focus on quality formatting and technical setup, we've chosen not to offer certain services. This clarity helps us deliver excellence in our core areas.

Proofreading or Editing

We format your manuscript as-is. Please ensure your text is final and proofread before submission.

Marketing Services

We don't provide book promotion, advertising, or marketing strategy. Our expertise is in formatting and setup.

Writing or Ghostwriting

We work with completed manuscripts only. Content creation and writing services are not available.

Cover Design

Our focus is interior formatting. We recommend working with a professional cover designer separately.

Sales Guarantees

We provide technical services only. Book sales depend on many factors beyond formatting and setup.

Sample Work

Here are examples of our book interior formatting showing professional typography, clean layouts, and attention to detail across different nonfiction genres.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you guarantee sales?

No. We provide formatting and technical setup services only. Book sales depend on content quality, marketing efforts, market demand, and many other factors beyond our control. Our role is ensuring your book looks professional.

How many revisions are included?

One round of revisions is included with every project. This covers formatting adjustments and corrections. Additional revision rounds for significant changes are available for an additional fee.

Do you work with fiction authors?

Yes, we accept fiction manuscripts if they're primarily text-focused. However, our expertise is in nonfiction formatting. Complex fiction requirements like special formatting may require additional discussion.

What file formats do you accept?

We work with Microsoft Word (.docx) and Google Docs. PDF files are not ideal for formatting work. Your manuscript should be a single document with minimal formatting applied.

How long does formatting take?

Most projects complete within 2-3 weeks from payment. Rush services may be available for an additional fee depending on our current workload and project complexity.

Can I make changes after formatting?

Minor text corrections are included in your revision round. Significant content changes after formatting is complete may require reformatting at an additional cost, as they can affect pagination and layout.
