Good formatting is invisible. Bad formatting is all readers see.
Readers rarely notice a well-designed interior. They simply keep reading. They do notice widows and orphans, cramped margins, text sinking into the spine, inconsistent headings and page numbers in the wrong place. Those details make a self-published book look self-published.
Print interiors built to specification
Print formatting starts with trim size. We help you choose one that suits your genre and page count, then set margins that account for the gutter, which needs to grow as your book gets thicker. Body text is set in a typeface chosen for long reading, with comfortable line spacing and justified text that avoids awkward gaps. Chapter openers, scene breaks, running heads and page numbers are styled consistently from first page to last.
Ebooks that reflow properly
Ebooks have no fixed pages. Readers choose the font and size, so the file needs clean structure rather than fixed positions. We build reflowable Kindle and EPUB files with real headings, a linked table of contents and styles that respect reader settings. Images and tables are adapted so they stay readable on small screens.
Complex books welcome
Workbooks, cookbooks, poetry, books with footnotes or endnotes, image-heavy memoirs and illustrated children's books each bring their own layout challenges. Tell us what is inside your book and we will plan the interior around it, including whether a fixed-layout ebook makes more sense than reflowable.
Front and back matter done right
Title page, copyright page, dedication, table of contents, acknowledgements, about the author and your call to action for the next book all follow conventions readers expect. We lay them out and fill in the copyright page details correctly for your edition and ISBN.
