My manuscript is finished; what it needs now is a polished interior layout that works equally well on paper and on screens. I want each chapter to open cleanly, headings and sub-headings to follow a logical hierarchy, and every paragraph to sit on the page with consistent margins, spacing, and font choices. Page numbers must be perfectly aligned and flow correctly through front matter, body, and back matter.

I don’t have a formal style guide, but I do have clear preferences for readability and a contemporary, uncluttered look. Expect some back-and-forth while we fine-tune typefaces, heading styles, and any ornamental touches—I’m happy to give quick feedback so the project moves smoothly.

Deliverables
• Print-ready PDF that meets KDP/Ingram size and bleed specs
• Reflowable ePub (and, if you routinely supply it, MOBI) that passes EPUB-Check
• Source files (InDesign, Vellum, or your preferred professional tool) so I can update later if needed

Acceptance criteria
• Consistent font, margin, and spacing settings across the entire book
• Correct page numbering, including roman-numeral front matter
• Chapter breaks and headings render cleanly in both formats
• No widows, orphans, or forced hyphenation that harms readability
• Files upload without error to Amazon KDP and major POD platforms

If you have a portfolio that shows similar dual-format projects, especially titles heavy on text rather than images, I’d love to see it. Let’s create a book interior that feels effortless to read and looks great in every format.
