Book formatting for eBook and print
Give your words a page readers can settle into.
We format novels, memoirs, nonfiction, and poetry with consistent typography, clear chapter openings, and an interior suited to the way your book will be read.
Choose your editions
eBook and print need their own approach.
An eBook adapts to a reader’s screen and settings. A printed book has a fixed page size. We plan the interior for each format in your order.

A layout that fits the manuscript
A novel and a practical guide ask different things of a page.
For a novel or memoir, much of the work is in the reading flow: paragraph spacing, chapter openings, and a consistent treatment of scene breaks.
A nonfiction book may also need several heading levels, lists, images, tables, or notes. Poetry can depend on specific line breaks and the space around a verse. Tell us which details need to be preserved.
We quote after reviewing the manuscript’s needs. Word count, complexity, formats, and optional design accents all help determine the scope.

Questions about book formatting
How much does formatting cost?
Formatting is quoted for your manuscript. Word count, layout complexity, trim size, and the formats you need affect the price. Request a personalized quote before ordering.
Can I order both eBook and print formatting?
Yes. Tell us which editions you need. The scope can include EPUB and print-ready PDF files, prepared for your chosen platforms.
Can you format nonfiction with tables, images, or notes?
Share a sample that shows those elements. We’ll review the complexity and discuss their treatment in the formats you need before quoting.
Is formatting the same as editing?
No. Formatting concerns the presentation and structure of the interior. Send edited text for final layout, and tell us if you need help with any other stage of publication.
How long will it take?
We’ll provide an estimate after reviewing the manuscript and scope. Include your publication date and let us know whether the text is final.
Can you help with the cover and publishing too?
Yes. Explore our fantasy cover design and nonfiction cover design pages, or browse the full cover portfolio. You can also ask about our publishing assistance package.
